Indian Navy officer Taniksha Khatri wins Commonwealth fencing gold

A woman named Taniksha Khatri is an officer in the Indian Navy and also a fencer.

Fencing is a sport where two people try to score points with swords.

She started learning fencing in 2012, about 14 years ago.

Recently, she won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Championship in Nigeria.

In the final, she beat another fencer from India named Khushi Dabhade, 15 to 7.

Taniksha said every day of her training over the years helped her win.

She also said fencing is a well-known sport but does not get much support in India.

She is thankful to her family, her coaches, and the Indian Navy for helping her.

Now she hopes to keep competing in Asian competitions and one day the Olympics.

She said the gold medal belongs not just to her, but to India.
