She isn’t quite happy with just a bronze in her debut Olympics but Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain said it nonetheless was huge reward for her sacrifices in the past eight years and she would celebrate it by taking her first vacation since 2012.
“Accha to nahi lag raha hai. I worked hard for a gold medal so it is a bit disappointing,” Borgohain said after the bout, in which she was docked a point for not paying attention to the referee’s instructions and also endured two standing eight counts.
