General
PHYSICS
She enjoys studying physics and says it has helped her during her taekwondo career. "My favourite subject is physics. There are many similarities between physics and sports. Speed and distance should be calculated. In taekwondo, you can calculate how many points you can score by keeping distance and how much power you can lose. Even during training, I've been able to easily understand the coaches' instructions." (ekantipur.com, 05 Sep 2021)
