Yet to get trophy, might get it later from Prez: Manish Kaushik

NEW DELHI: Olympic-bound boxer Manish Kaushik is currently on cloud nine after receiving the Arjuna Award virtually on National Sports Day, saying the feeling is beyond imagination. Speaking to IANS, the Indian boxer also revealed that they have only got the certificate as of yet and "might get Arjuna award trophy from the President personally" after the Covid-19 pandemic gets over or a vaccine gets introduced. "I was told that we will get a chance to meet President (Ram Nath Kovind) sir personally after this pandemic and he will give the trophy to us. If that happens it will be really great," Kaushik said. The national sports awards were conferred upon athletes and coaches on Saturday. The ceremony, for the first time in its history, was conducted virtually due to the Covid-19 scare. IANS
