In preparation for the forthcoming Asian Games, the Olympic and Commonwealth Games medal winners will train at St. Louis’ SQUAT University under the direction of Dr. Aron Horschig.
The team of Mirabai and Bindyarani will be joined by Indian Chief Coach Vijay Sharma and their physiotherapist Tesneem Zayyad throughout their 65 international training session.
