Saarbrucken: “Aaa jao sir, aap bhi walk kar lo. Thodi fitness badegi…”
Nikhat Zareen is walking a few laps of the indoor track at the sprawling SportCampus Saar here in Saarbrucken, an oasis of sport and training in south-west Germany, just nudging distance from Paris. With coach Pranamika Borah in tow – like those invisible but always-there minders -- she is cooling down after an intense hour and half-long gym session; probably her last training engagement here before the Indian boxing squad departs via the TGV – once a 1980s middle-school quiz question about the fastest train in the world – for the Olympics on Monday.
