KOLKATA: Pranati Nayak couldn't have hoped for better preparation ahead of the Asian Games to be held from September 23 to October 8. Being the only gymnast from the country to be currently going to the continent al games, there is understandably a lot of pressure on her shoulders, and on Saturday she showed that she is all set for the big event as she won the bronze in vault at the FIG World Challenge Cup held in Szombathely, Hungary.
Speaking to TOI, Pranati, who currently trains at the Gymnastics High-Performance Centre in Bhubaneswar, said, "It's good to win a medal at my first World Cup. I gave my best and I am now confident of doing well at the Asian Games. I have been coaching under Ashok Mishra sir for a while now and my preparation was very good."
