On Tuesday, 23-year-old Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain brought cheer to the country on an otherwise disappointing couple of days at the Tokyo Olympics. The first woman boxer from Assam at the Games came up with a commanding display over experienced Germany pugilist Nadine Apetz at the Kokugikan arena.
With a split decision win over her senior rival, Lovlina moved into the quarter-final of the women’s welterweight division (64 to 69kg). She is now just a win away from sealing a medal for India. Notably, the semi-finalists are assured of at least a bronze in the sport at the Games.
