Nieva: Will look to rebuild, several aspects need improvement
The HinduRetained as Indian men's boxing's High-Performance Director after a few months of deliberation and discussion, Santiago Nieva says the immediate focus in his second stint would be to rebuild the team, which hit a low by ending medal-less in the Tokyo Olympics. His position came under considerable pressure in the aftermath of the Tokyo Games where none of the five Indian male boxers, including world number one Amit Panghal, could go past the preliminary stage. The Boxing Federation of India was expectedly "dissatisfied" with the performance, and its top officials talked about Nieva's contract extension being a remote possibility. "A full-time nutritionist, and yes, we need strength and conditioning experts that we had for some time before Tokyo Olympics but have lost after the Games," he added.
