Ashish ready for Olympics

“We start training in the morning and continue till four in the afternoon. After that there is a one-hour lunch break and then again we are back to training till seven in the evening,” Ashish said over phone from Essex, where the four-member Indian men’s team has been training since July 8.

“After my success at the CWG and Asian Games, I am working hard to win an Olympic medal for the country. Expectations have risen following my success at the CWG and Asian Games but I am only focused on qualifying for the London Games.

“Here at the Basildon Sporting Village, training facilities are top class with a state-of-the-art gymnasium and an Olympic-level swimming pool. We are preparing hard for the World Cups.”
