Kaevaan Setalvad wants the COVID-19 pandemic to end soon so that he can participate in showjumping events and get his horse and himself some on-ground training. Kaevaan, 24, and younger brother Zahan, 22, representing Mumbai and Amateur Riders Club (ARC), bagged gold and silver medals respectively in the annual 150 cm Grand Prix at the National Equestrian Championship (NEC) held in Delhi last month. Now, the Setalvad brothers want to train hard and target the 2022 Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou [September 10 to 25, 2022].

Kaevaan felt the global pandemic has affected him a lot but hopes to give his best and aim to enter the final as they did during the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta."Right now, we don't know our plans as far participating in any specific events are concerned because of the restrictions. We are going to have shows at the ARC and that will help us get ready. My target is to qualify for the Asian Games as they are relatively at a higher level. The last time we got to the finals, but this time, I am not sure. I don't know if we can win a medal, but hopefully, we aim to at least finish in the Top 10 or Top 15," Kaevaan, who is a last year student at Government Law College in Mumbai, told mid-day.com.
