Minor in CWG squad: Para cyclist Lisha raises concerns over no woman support staff

year-old para track cyclist Lisha Das, youngest in India's 191-strong CWG squad, raised safety concerns over no woman support staff in cycling and para cycling contingents.

Lisha submitted a parental consent form naming physiotherapist Asha Shaikh as her accompanying support personnel, but the issue remains unresolved.

Cycling and para cycling are the only disciplines in the CWG contingent without a woman coach, physiotherapist, or medical staff member.

The omission contradicts a Sports Authority of India circular mandating a woman coach for contingents with female athletes.
