Gaurika Singh: Despite pandemic, Nepal’s young swimming sensation is working hard to grab next medals

Gaurika Singh, at Best Venue’s enclosed swimming pool, is putting in lap after lap. First, she works on her freestyle, then backstroke. With motivation and determination, for the next two hours, she relentlessly works on her weaknesses.

Not being able to swim in the United Kingdom due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Singh, Nepal’s young swimming sensation living in the UK with her parents, flew to Nepal in mid-February with one aim – practising for the Tokyo Olympics where she aims to better her personal record and try to beat the national record.
