I  have enough time before the competition and my Olympic preparations are  going on in full swing and now I am working on my fitness, especially  building o my lower body muscle.<br \/> <strong><br \/> ISN: What\u2019s your training schedule and where are you training these days?<br \/> Krishna Poonia: <\/strong>I train for around seven hours under the guidance of  my coach-husband Virender Poonia.\u00a0 Presently I am training at NIS  Patila. I have recently returned from US after a government-sponsored  4-month training stint there.<br \/> <strong><br \/> ISN: Tell us about your early days, when and how did you get into the sport?<br \/> Krishna Poonia: <\/strong>I took part in college meets but left the sports  after marriage. For three years I did nothing. But husband inspired and  encouraged me to take up discus throw and here I am now.<br \/> <strong><br \/> ISN: What are your strengths and weaknesses as a player?<br \/> Krishna Poonia: <\/strong>I think I have the confidence, commitment, concentration, which a sportsperson should have.<br \/> <strong><br \/> ISN: Being a mother, how difficult it is to stay away from your son, especially when training and competing abroad?<br \/> Krishan Poonia: <\/strong>It\u2019s very difficult. I hardly get time to spend with  my son Lakshay. I miss being able to spend time with him. He is a kid  and he needs me more attention. I try to stay in touch with him through  all means, including phone and internet. Thankfully, since my husband is  my coach, it makes things a bit easy for me.<\/p>\n<p> ISN: Finally, what do you have to say about your medal prospects at London Olympics?<br \/> Krishna Poonia: As far as my preparations are concerned, I am very  positive about it. My career best is 63.69m. I am throwing 62 in  practice and should do better when I peak at the Olympics. Yes I want to  win medal in 2012 London Olympics. <\/p>\n<p> {module[87]}<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terming gold medal win at the Commonwealth Games as a life-changing moment, Krishna in an interview to <strong>Shraddha Bagdwal of Indian Sports News <\/strong>talks about her training, aim and her family. <strong>Excerpts:<\/strong><\/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":[92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-athletics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>My Olympic Games preparations are going on in full swing: Krishna Poonia - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=812\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"My Olympic Games preparations are going on in full swing: Krishna Poonia - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Terming gold medal win at the Commonwealth Games as a life-changing moment, Krishna in an interview to Shraddha Bagdwal of Indian Sports News talks about her training, aim and her family.
