Funds hurdle in way of international dream
The Telegraph | Robert Sapam | Imphal, July 3
Six bodybuilders from Manipur, including two women, have been chosen by the Indian Fitness and Body Building Federation to represent the country at two international events in South Korea and Mongolia this year.
To compete in the South Korean event alone will cost around Rs 1.5 lakh and this has left the Manipuri bodybuilders, their family members and coaches worried. They have appealed for financial assistance and even sought help from the state government.
Laitonjam Rishikanta, who won the Junior Mr India title in the 70kg category in 2015, told The Telegraph, "This is a rare chance for me as it will be my first international exposure and I am raring to go all out for the best result. However, though I have been receiving blessing from all sides, my family's financials are not so sound, it hits me every time."
