After overcoming a swollen liver in December last, Harshada Garud never thought that within a few months she would become the first Indian to win a gold medal in the World junior weightlifting championships.
When she did, the 18-year-old spontaneously credited the coaching staff whose wholehearted backing helped the Pune girl improve her performance within a few months.
“I had an issue owing to a swollen liver. After recovering, I joined the National camp in December. Thanks to the support of our coaches, I could improve my performance quickly,” Harshada told The Hindu from Heraklion.
