KOLKATA: Veteran player Mouma Das ending up as the runner-up in the recently-concluded National Table Tennis championship in Shillong will go down as another positive comeback tale in world sport.
Das, who became a mother in 2019, was out of action for a long time before she decided to take part in the nationals. “I never thought about the results. I actually just wanted to see where I stand fitness wise after becoming a mother. The love for the game made me start afresh but my comeback was halted further due to the pandemic when I was also affected by the virus,” she said during a meet the press programme at the Calcutta Sports Journalists’ Club on Tuesday.
