Having won as many as four medals (two gold, one silver, one bronze) at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast to return empty-handed from the 2022 edition in Birmingham was disappointing, admitted India`s table tennis star Manika Batra.

"I was sad and upset when I lost at the CWG [in Birmingham], but I always tell myself that this is not the end and that I have to keep working hard. So when I got back to India, I immediately started training. I think it`s very important for every athlete, who loses a match, not to feel like sab kuch khatam ho gaya [everything is over] or log kya kahenge [what will people say]. They should instead get back to training harder and work on their mistakes," Batra said from Surat during a media interaction organised by SAI Media ahead of the table tennis event (September 20-24) at the National Games.
