Following a tough week in the hospital, the 23-year-old is in quarantine on the campus of the National Stadium in Delhi.

The prolonged isolation has been a test of character for Lovlina.

“After the lockdown, I was in quarantine for 23 days in Patiala prior to joining the camp. Then I went home (in Assam) to see my mother. Again I was in quarantine and now this. I am just going through everything without thinking too much.”

Is she disappointed about missing out on the trip to Italy? “Of course, it was disappointing. However, I don’t think this is a big loss as the Olympics is seven months away and one needs to increase the intensity of training in the last three months. I think I can catch up,” said Lovlina.
