Coming from a small village in Assam from India, not many would imagine the hardwork and efforts put in by people like Lovlina Borgohain over the years in order to make it to global events like the Olympics, and even do well at these events. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the 23-year old boxer has done brilliantly, a few days back making it to the semi-final of the welterweight category.
After her victory int he quarter final of the Women’s welterweight (Boxing), Borgohain had a few days to prepare for her semi final clash which was today, 4th August 2021. It was always going to be a tough clash because she isn’t as experienced as the others she’s competing with and she was up against top seed Busenaz Sürmeneli from Turkey.
As expected, it wasn’t a very favourable result for the woman boxer because she was up against one of the best in the business. Borgohain ended up losing 0-5 in the Semi Final 1 of this event at Olympics 2021. It was a poor result on the day but it marks the end of a brilliant journey, and since she didn’t have ti fight out a 3rd place game, she was given the bronze medal!

This made it India’s third medal at Olympics 2021 after Mirabai Chanu won silver in weightlifting and PV Sindhu won bronze in badminton. India is yet to win gold in this event and the chances are diminishing as day’s slowly go by, but the women are showing that they are not less but in fact way better than the men right now.
