India's Women Boxers Aim for Medals at Commonwealth Games
India's women's boxing team is going to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
A former coach, Mohammed Ali Qamar, thinks they are very strong and can win medals.
He says all seven women have a good chance, but it depends on who they face in the competition.
The team includes experienced boxers like Lovlina Borgohain, who won a bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics.
Qamar also thinks the men's team is not doing well and needs better coaches.
He believes the women's team is improving, while the men's team is slipping.
The Commonwealth Games start on Friday, and everyone is hoping for a good performance from the women's team.
India's women's boxing squad is considered one of the strongest ever for the Commonwealth Games.
