Athlete-first Approach Behind India's Record Boxing Haul At CWG: BFI Chief Ajay Singh
Indian Olympic Association President Ajay: India's record-breaking seven-gold haul in boxing at the Commonwealth Games 2026 is the result of an athlete-first approach backed by world-class support systems, Indian Olympic Association President Ajay Singh said after the country's historic performance in Glasgow.
Crediting the boxers' determination while highlighting the importance of a strong support structure, Singh said, "Just an athlete-first policy and trying to keep politics as far away from this as possible. I think the very first thing is hunger in their belly. The fact that they are so keen to do well on the global stage. It's their hard work, effort and perseverance that make this happen," he said in a press conference organised by BFI.
He added that providing athletes with the best possible environment has been central to India's success.
