Boxer Lovlina Borgohain won a bronze medal in the women's welterweight category at the Tokyo Olympics last year and the nation has high hopes for her this year as well.
However, just a few days before the opening, she alleged that her coach Sandhya Gurung is unable to enter the CWG contingent, which has put a halt on her practice.

She shared a note via Twitter which said, “With deep sadness, today I have to inform you that I am being mentally harassed. The coaches who helped me win a medal in Tokyo are being constantly removed with my training and competitions being consistently interrupted."
“Among those (coaches) is Dronacharya awardee Sandhya Gurung. Because of this, I am facing a lot of difficulties during training and mental harassment. Right now, my coach Sandhya Gurung is standing outside the CWG village and is not being allowed to enter. My other coach has been sent back to India."

Gurung has been training Lovlina for a long time and was a great support for her during the Tokyo Olympics.
All this has resulted in her training coming to a halt just eight days before the championship. Even after several requests, nothing has been done which is affecting her mentally.
She states that she doesn’t like the politics happening in the games and wishes to make the nation proud by winning the medal.
