Tokyo Olympics Latest Update- The Tokyo Olympics witnessed another Indian bronze medalist in boxing. Lovelina Borgohain is the second female boxer to have won a gold medal for India. This was a proud moment for not only her family but all Indians as a whole.
Highlights Of The Match
Up against a very distinguished boxer, Busenaz Surmeneli, Lovlina Borgohain was completely out-punched. She lost 0-5 in the welterweight semi-finals and had to settle for bronze. She also faced a one-point deduction in the second round for not paying attention to the referee’s instructions despite several cautions.
Some say that it was a lopsided affair as Surmeneli had kept Lovlina at bay for the match’s entirety.
Lovlina’s Response
Lovlina was disappointed that she had lost to Surmeneli. She worked very hard for the gold medal but could not execute her strategies as Surmeneli was more potent than her.
She had been training for eight years away from her family for this moment and expected herself to perform better. However, she has come to terms with this and is going to take a holiday to celebrate her bronze medal.
