Lollen’s selection marks a significant milestone in her illustrious career. Last May, she demonstrated her prowess by winning two bronze medals at the 21st Asian Armwrestling Championship held in Ajman, UAE. This achievement was particularly noteworthy as it ended a 20-year medal drought for Arunachal Pradesh in the Asian championship.
