I had no support, no opportunity, no sponsors backing me for most of my career.

I learned my weaknesses at the Asian Games and other competitions where I lost. My guard was down.

I am blessed with a reasonable athletic talent and was an athlete in school.

My normal weight category is 48 kg. So for the 51 kg. category, I had to depend on lots of food and drinks before going in for the weigh-in. But that does not make my strength, my muscles. It's a little bit different. If there's a 48 kg. category, it's a perfect fit for me.

I kept my clothes on. I borrowed money.

Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.

I find my husband's family history fascinating, as they can trace the family lineage back to ancestors who fought, and died, in the first battle of the Revolution, as well as to many other interesting people.

Money makes everybody evil when you think about it.
