Two more Tangkhul athletes have become brand ambassadors for BuildPro Nutrition and Sure Test Nutrition respectively.
"I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mr Miraj Maibam, Proprietor of Thew-Fuels-House in New Checkon, Imphal, for his generous sponsorship and appointment of Miss Chingri Khapai and Mr Khanrin Shaiza as brand ambassadors for BuildPro Nutrition and Sure Test Nutrition," L Robert Meitei, proprietor of Royal Gym Ukhrul, stated in a statement on Tuesday.
Khapai, a resident of Ka-zipphung, has achieved remarkable feats in the world of fitness, securing 5th place in the Miss Manipur Women's Model Physique 2023 and 4th place in the Jr Miss India Women s Model Physique 2024 .
Shaiza has also demonstrated exceptional strength and dedication, achieving 5th place in the 70kg category of Sr Mr Manipur 2023, 5th place in the 65kg category of the Federation Cup 2024, and becoming a certified IPT-FA-INDIA trainer, Robert Meitei stated.
Both these talented athletes are currently under my supervision at Royal Gymnasium Ukhrul, diligently preparing for upcoming championships.
Maibam's support is a testament to his belief in their potential and a valuable boost to their training endeavours, he said.
As Robert Meitei mentioned, even a virtual connection can pave the way for tangible support, building bridges and fostering opportunities for our hill-based athletes.
"Even though the meeting between me and brother Miraj is on mobile, the constructive way of supporting the hill athletes is making a bridge rather than a wall" .
'I am deeply grateful to Mr Luwang, a national medallist, and Mr Arnold, a multiple-time state and national champion with international recognition, for their dedication to nurturing our local talent", he added.
