Asian Games silver medallist Ancy Sojan responded to social media trolling over her appearance, saying critics cannot take away her medal or achievement.
Ace long jumper Ancy Sojan, who battled the rain and slippery conditions in Nagoya, only to see the gold slip from her grasp in the sixth and final round, was the latest victim of online trolls who mocked the national record holder for her fashion and makeup during the women’s long jump final.
