Seema Kaliramna targets Asian Games after Commonwealth bronze
Indian discus thrower Seema Kaliramna has announced her focus is shifting toward the upcoming Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. Kaliramna recently secured a bronze medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with a best throw of 58.65 meters.
Kaliramna, who is also a PhD scholar researching the impact of positive self-talk on athletic performance, credited her mental toughness for her success in Glasgow. She noted that her research techniques helped her recover from an initial foul to secure a podium finish.
Her journey to the podium included overcoming significant health challenges, including arthritis following the birth of her son in 2022. She credited her husband and coach, Ravinder, for encouraging a muscle-strengthening approach over steroid use. Kaliramna also acknowledged support from the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) regarding her training and physiotherapy needs.
