Indian women punch their way to four gold medals
The Hindu
Gitika, Babyrojisana, Poonam, and Vinka put on a commanding display
Gitika posted a commanding 5-0 win over local favourite Natalia Kuczewska, who beat Asian junior silver medallist Thipsatcha Yodwaree in the semifinals, to claim the 48kg gold medal and give India a fine start. Gitika remained ahead by landing plenty of punches, including a few shots to the head. She switched her tactics to use her feet, stay away from her opponent and deliver some straight punches resulting in a bloodied nose for the Pole in the last two rounds. A fearless Babyrojisana Chanu, an Asian youth champion, bagged the second gold for the country by upsetting European junior champion and taller Russian Valeriia Linkova in the 51kg title clash with a 5-0 margin.More Related News
