The other gold was clinched by Paonam Lily Chanu of Sagolband Soyam Leirak today. She and her team partner beat Lebanon in the mix team division. To compete in the mix team, she has to beat all the other Indian women first. She is not working right now for any private or govt. company.
Both Khuraijam Ratan and Paonam Lily Chanu wish that the state govt. of Manipur recognize their hard work and give them incentives and job opportunities to encourage young sportsmen.
Both of these winners will be arriving to Imphal around 8/9 of November 2013. I, as sportsman, as a Manipuri and as a Taiwanese request all the people of Manipur to extend a warm-welcome to these champions.
Another athlete, Laishram Bombayla is competing tomorrow in the individual division. Let's hope she too performs well and bring laurel to Manipur and India.
