Digital Desk: Boxer Lovlina Borgohain, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, posted a lengthy message on Twitter on Monday in which she claimed she had experienced "mental harassment" as a result of her coaches' repeated exclusion from her training sessions. Her coaches were instrumental in her Olympic victory. She added that Sandhya Gurung, her coach, is temporarily barred from entering the Commonwealth Games Village.

"My Olympic coaches who helped me win a medal have always been taken out of my training and competition. Sandhya Gurung ji, one of these coaches, is also a Dronacharya honoree. They are consistently permitted to be late for my training despite countless requests. This interferes with my training and causes me a lot of problems and mental anguish.

"At this time, my coach Sandhya Gurung ji is not permitted to enter the Commonwealth Village, and my training has been halted eight days before the Games. Despite my repeated requests, my other coach was sent back to India. I'm not sure how I'm meant to concentrate on my game. My performance in the most recent global championships was similarly damaged by this circumstance. I don't want politics to sabotage the Commonwealth Games as well. I'm hoping I can get over the politics and bring home a medal for my nation. "Jai Hind," wrote Lovlina in her blog entry.

In the women's boxing 70 kg division at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Lovlina will be fighting.

In the 69 kg division of women's boxing at the Tokyo Olympics, she took home a bronze medal.

After Vijender Singh and MC Mary Kom, Lovlina became just the third boxer from India to win an Olympic medal.
