Durban, Aug 20 - Ten top Indian athletes are undergoing an intensive four-month training in preparation for the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games.

The athletes, all gold medallists at various international events in the past two years, are also being groomed for the 2012 London Olympics by Elite Athlete Performance (EAP).

EAP Director Heath Matthews said the success of Indian gold medalist rifle shooter Abhinav Bindra at the Beijing Olympics last year had prompted the Mittal Champions Trust to sponsor the training for the athletes.

'(The Trust) has confidence in our work since we have in the past conditioned Bindra. We have also had India's number one squash player, Joshna Chinnappa, and two top Indian boxers Akhil and Jitendra Kumar train with us,' Matthews said.

'We combine sports science, sports medicine and coaching to develop world class athletes,' Matthews added.
