India has laid a lot of hopes on boxing champion Mary Kom and many thought she would definitely return to the country with a medal. But shockingly Mary Kom has crashed out of the Olympics after losing in the Women’s Flyweight Round of 16.
The six time world champion met Ingrit Lorena Valencia of Colombia and Mary Kom lost the match by a 3:2 split decision. But it was a close contest and Mary Kom gave everything to win the match.
Mary Kom is 38 years old now and this could be her last Olympics. This is heart-breaking and her dream to retire with a medal has shattered.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju acknowledged Mary Kom’s efforts. “Dear Mary Kom, you lost in Tokyo Olympics by just one point but for me you are always a champion! You have achieved what no other female boxer in the world has ever achieved. You are a legend. India is proud of you. BOXING & OLYMPICS will miss you,” tweeted the minister.
