Miss Our 4-year-old Son': Coach-husband Ravinder Opens Up About Sacrifice After Seema's CWG Discus Throw Bronze
Seema Kaliramna: Amidst the celebratory cheers following Indian discus thrower Seema Kaliramna’s bronze medal-winning performance at the Commonwealth Games 2026, her personal coach and husband Ravinder opened up about the emotional tug-of-war as the couple’s four-year-old son, Rudra, stayed back in India.
Seema, 27, secured a podium finish with a best effort of 58.65m at the Scotstoun Stadium, marking her maiden major international medal. However, behind the podium glory was a deeply personal story of sacrifice and a last-minute scramble to get to Glasgow.
"We missed our son a lot," Ravinder told reporters after the event. "He could not come because he did not have a passport, and my own travel was uncertain until the last moment. My visa was approved only on the evening of the 28th, and I flew here on the 29th, so it was not possible to bring him along. However, he watched the event from home. When I called home, he said that he slept 2 minutes ago. He is not used to waking up late," Ravinder told IANS.
