GUWAHATI: She is the new star on the horizon. Swimmer Shivangi Sarma, who was recently selected in the Indian team for the forthcoming Asian Games, is in the city for a few days break. In a brief conversation with The Sentinel the swimmer looked very focus on her preparation for the forthcoming Games. Here are the excerpts.
The Sentinel (TS): You are in the Asian Games squad. Share your feelings.

Shivangi:I shall try to give my best timing in the Games. Need blessing from all.
TS: How have you planned the final phase of your preparation?
Shivangi: Camp for the Indian swimmers will be held very soon and I have planned to utilize it in the best possible way. I shall also work with my coach so that I can go to China with a very good preparation.
