From a childhood where her father earned Rs. 50 to Rs. 150 a day repairing bicycles and her family struggled to afford basic sports gear, Asmita Dey has come a long way. Her mother even pledged her gold earrings to help fund her judo journey. Now, after winning Commonwealth Games gold for India, Asmita has her sights set on an even bigger dream: Olympic gold.

In this conversation, Asmita opens up about her journey, losing her father just months before her historic win, the sacrifices her family made, the pressure of competing at the Commonwealth Games and why she still isn’t satisfied with one gold medal.
