The Minry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS)’s Mission Olympic Cell (MOC) on Friday approved Indian fencer Bhavani Devi’s proposal to continue her training in Bauer Fencing Academy, Orleans, France.
Bhavani recently won the Bronze Medal in Women Sabre event of Asian Championships, becoming the first Indian to do so.
“I believe I’m a better fencer now than I was in Tokyo. My style and way of fencing has changed. I understand fencing as a game, much better now. From Tokyo, the preparation, experiences have helped me to understand better,” Bhavani had told The Indian Express in June after the event.
“Her training camp for France has been approved for a period of eight months and will cover her training camp cost, air fare, boarding/lodging costs, local transportation cost, physiotherapy/ massage sessions, training fee, license Fee and insurance cost among others,” a minry release said on Friday.Most Read
