Lovlina Borgohain Eyes Paris 2024 After Tokyo Olympics Bronze

Lovlina Borgohain said she will take take a holiday after her Tokyo Olympics bronze before starting preparations for the Paris Games in 2024.

She had the time of her life in Tokyo with a medal on Olympic debut being the icing on the cake but Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain says all of it is "done and dusted now" and she will start afresh in every aspect of her game for the Paris edition in 2024. In an exclusive interview to PTI, Borgohain, who clinched the welterweight (69kg) bronze, spoke about the hardships she endured to get where she is, the joy of watching the triumph of human spirit at the Games and how her regular life now becomes much more eventful thanks to overnight fame. The 23-year-old from the tiny Baromukhia village of Assam's Golaghat district became only the third Indian boxer to finish on the Olympic podium, joining two of the biggest icons in Indian boxing -- six-time world champion MC Mary Kom and the very decorated Vijender Singh. She had vowed to touch upon her sacrifices only after her campaign was over and she did exactly that.
