The 23-year-old says she is not satisfied with the third place.
Lovlina Borgohain won India’s third medal – a bronze – at the Tokyo Olympics to Turkish world champion Busenaz Surmeneli in their 69kg semifinal bout on Wednesday. She becomes only the second Indian woman pugilist and third overall, after Vijender Singh (bronze in 2008) and Mary Kom (bronze in 2012) to climb the podium. However, the 23-year-old was not satisfied with the result. “I’ve just lost, and I am not really happy about it. I’ve had to be content with the bronze medal throughout my career. A medal is a medal, whether it is an Olympic medal or an inter-district one,” she said right after the bout.More Related News
