Seema Kaliramna: India's leading discus thrower Seema Kaliramna has revealed that returning to competitive sport after motherhood taught her to be more patient with herself, and that the experience also made her mentally stronger as she prepares to compete at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

"Returning to competition after becoming a mother taught me to be more patient with myself.
