“It’s truly disheartening knowing we weren’t able to bag a medal for our country. As a team, it was our first ever international event as we have only participated in South Asian tournaments and we are quite happy with our performance at a global scale after securing the 5th spot we will train harder and come back stronger. I would like to thank ESFI, our coach Samuel Boudrie, and all our supporters out there for hyping us up and supporting us along the way!”
