The group constitutes of 15 members who  have been specifically selected to train for the World Championships  and the 2012 Olympic Games. The AIBA Women\u2019s World Championship that is  slated to be held in the Chinese city of Qinhuangdao will act as the  only qualifier for the London Olympiad. <\/p>\n<p> The top eight boxers in each weight category at the Championships will  obtain a quota place within the confines of the number allocated to each  continent. Asia has been awarded a quota of eight boxers. In view of  the above mentioned facts, coupled with the introduction of the  discipline at the biggest sporting arena in the world, boxers\u2019  preparedness for the World Championships becomes ever so vital.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cParticipating in the Olympics is a massive opportunity and means a lot  especially for women boxer. The height of any athlete\u2019s amateur career  is to be an Olympic champion. At London next year, for the first time  women pugilists from around the world will get the chance to win an  Olympic medal. Therefore every female boxer playing in the Olympic  weight category is bound to go all out in her preparation,\u201d expressed  Coach D Chander Lal who would be closely measuring the progress of each  boxer in the core group.<\/p>\n<p> Talking about the focus areas at the training camp, he said that overall  development of the boxers will be imperative, but emphasis will be  given on improving techniques especially with the changed scoring system  in place. He added, \u201cWe have few veteran boxers in the camp who are  adapting well to the new system, but there are a few other who still  have room for improvement and need to perfect their approach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Five time world champion MC Mary Kom, who recently reclaimed the  \u2018National Champion\u2019 title in Bhopal, will be joining the camp on  Friday.\u00a0 The Asian Games bronze medallist faces tough competition in her  weight category with the likes of L Sarita Devi and Pinki Jangra. But  the Champion, who beat Pinki in the finals of the Nationals, is  confident that when the time comes she will be able to pull through. The  28 year old said, \u201cI have performed well in the tournaments that I  participated in this year. I am confident that I will do well at the  trials, but there is still time and my focus at this point of time is on  the training at hand and I hope to make the best of the camp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> With the idea to provide boxers with adequate international exposure,  sparring opportunities and to better acclimatize the athletes with the  English weather conditions the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation will be  fielding a team for a multinational training cum competition in  Sheffield and a Test Event in London next month. The test event  scheduled to be held from the 24th of Nov\u201911 will be played at the  Olympic boxing venue and is a part of the \u2018London Prepares\u2019 series \u2013 a  build up to the Games.<\/p>\n<p> The first big challenge for the Indian team though, would be ASBC Asian  Boxing Championship, which is scheduled to be held in December this  year. The sixth edition of the event will serve as a preparatory ground  for the qualifying event \u2013the world championships. Chief Coach Kumar  considers the continental championship to be instrumental and said the  tournament will give Indian boxers an opportunity to access the level of  competition that Asia offers. <\/p>\n<p> He added, \u201cWe have performed exceptionally at the Asian Championships  over the years. Although the competition would be stiff this time around  but we hope to do well again. Moreover the event will be a good  exposure for the girls and it will allow us to further assess our  pugilists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Patiala: <\/strong>After the successful culmination of the 12th Senior  Nationals in Bhopal, on Thursday over 40 women pugilists have moved to  NIS Patiala for the national camp in preparation for the London Olympics  next year.\u00a0 Chief Coach Anoop Kumar and Coach-in-charge of the core  group D Chander Lal will supervise preparation at the camp, which will  go till December 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-boxing-boxing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Women pugilists begin WC &amp;
