It is not just about physical fitness; mental state matters too. Unfortunately, sometimes our queens end up facing such fierce competition without the necessary support, like a chaperone and other team players. Many queens travel with a whole team to assist them with every need. Hopefully, this time, our queen also travelled with a team to navigate the tough competition. Chombo will undoubtedly need our support as a country, but she also requires a support team in India to encourage her and provide guidance on various issues. While she may be well-prepared for the big stage, she will still need coaching on other matters.
