India's coaches punch in at the Games

Shiv Thapa could not hide his relief at the Asian Games boxing venue on Wednesday. Not because he had been awarded a walkover in his first bout - dodging punches was not the issue.
He was relieved just to have a coach in his corner during the competition.
For Thapa and the 12 other Indian boxers at Incheon, there hasn't been coaching support at international competition for close to two years.
