“This was my first championship in a new weight category and I won a gold. So I know that I am in the right direction. I had a very good run in the championship and was at ease with my punches and movement. I am regaining form and expecting to peak at the right time. These wins matter a lot.” “Off course my ultimate aim is to win a gold at the Paris Olympics. I am striving and working hard to achieve that and I hope my best comes out at the right time,” she said.
