Ashmita Dey eyes Asian Games judo medal after historic CWG gold
Indian judoka Ashmita Dey made history by becoming the first Indian to win a Commonwealth Games gold in judo. Her path to the top was marked by severe financial hardship, including food shortages and a family forced to pawn jewellery. She also endured the loss of her father in the lead-up to the Commonwealth Games, adding a personal dimension to her triumph.
