  "account": "India's Parveen Hooda secured a silver medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, two years after her Asian Games medal was revoked due to a suspension for failing to provide whereabouts. The silver arrived in the quarter-finals of the women's 65kg event, where she defeated Uzbekistan's Navbakhor Khamidova by unanimous decision. This performance brings India's total boxing medals to three at the Games, alongside Commonwealth Games silver medallist Narender Berwal and gold medallist Ankush Panghal. The victory was a redemption for Hooda, who had also failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics due to the suspension. Her coach, Santiago Nieva, praised her for controlling the bout from a long distance, countering Khamidova's aggression and utilizing her jab and footwork effectively. Despite the loss of her Paris Olympics quota and a defeat in the Commonwealth Games quarter-final, Hooda's performance in Aichi-Nagoya redeemed her efforts. In the semi-final, she will face China's Li Shu, who defeated Kazakh pugilist Nekruz Salimov in the previous round.",
