CWG 2026: Can’t Think Too Far Ahead In Judo. Every Bout Demands Your Full Focus, Says Yamini Mourya
FISU World University Games: Yamini Mourya, the first Indian judoka to win a medal at the FISU World University Games, is heading to the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, looking to build on the momentum gained from previous experience and take on another major international challenge.
Yamini Mourya has steadily established herself as one of India's leading judokas in the women's 57kg category. The 28-year-old has since added gold medals at the African Open and Asian Open to her growing list of achievements. Now she is banking on that experience to achieve success at Glasgow.
Unlike many sports, judo offers little room to think beyond the next contest, and that is exactly how Yamini approaches every tournament.
