From Glasgow to Glory: Jadhumani Singh’s Journey with Mentor Sarita

Boxer Jadhumani Singh, 22, walked away from the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with a silver medal and a heartfelt tribute to mentor Sarita Devi. Singh described Devi’s role as a constant presence, from early career advice to real‑time fight analysis during the Games.

In the final, Singh fell 0‑5 to Australia’s Jai Dixon, yet she emphasized that Devi’s feedback after each bout helped her refine technique and stay motivated. "She encouraged me to aim for gold and never gave up on me," Singh said.

The silver medal, Singh added, is a stepping stone toward higher goals, including stronger performances at the Asian Games and future global tournaments.
