She holds a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and has over 2 years of prior experience in the sports journalism sector.<\/p>\n<p>Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy are Abhiruchi\u2019s favorite Olympians. She began following them in 2018, and seeing their transformation from initially not wanting to play together to becoming the world&#8217;s top-ranked men&#8217;s doubles pair inspires her.<\/p>\n<p>Track &amp; Field excites Abhiruchi the most because of the diverse range of events involved in it. Neeraj Chopra&#8217;s historic performance at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics stands as her favorite Olympic moment as it was India\u2019s first gold in track and field events. She feels that focus should be placed on up-and-coming athletes to increase the coverage of Olympic sports during the off-season.<\/p>\n<p>Abhiruchi applies journalistic principles learnt while pursuing her Bachelor\u2019s degree by prioritizing first-hand information, cross-checking via multiple reliable sources, and fact-checking for accuracy. She follows reputed sources and numerous established athletes on social media platforms to remain updated.<\/p>\n<p>When not reporting, Abhiruchi enjoys traveling and spending time with her family and friends.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"author-know-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/author\/abhiruchirout03-1\" aria-label=\"Author know more\">Know More<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Abhiruchi Rout<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/olympics\/news-this-team-super-hungry-nebraska-volleyball-coach-dani-busboom-kelly-makes-feelings-known-players-commitment\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Nebraska Volleyball&#8217;s head coach Dani Busboom Kelly has expressed her thoughts on the team\u2019s commitment.
