Parul Choudhary, who’s never won a CWG medal, stepped into the 3,000m steeplechase final with grit. Murali Sreeshankar? He wasn’t just jumping for gold; he was chasing his second podium. And that’s just athletics. Swimmers like Sajan Prakash, boxers like Jaismine Lamboria, weightlifters like Sanjana; they all lined up at odd hours, eyes locked on the finish line. Why does this matter? Because behind every medal chance is a story of 6 AM trainings, skipped festivals, and years of sacrifice; all for moments that last 10 seconds or 10 minutes. No headlines, no fanfare… just pure will. Watch these names; they might just become household names by the end of the week.
