Bengaluru, October 13: Manju Rani's brilliant debut campaign in 48kg at the AIBA Women's World Championships 2019 culminated in a silver medal as Indian women pugilists finished with a rich haul of four medals that included one silver and three bronze in Ulan-Ude, Russia on Sunday (October 13).
Rani gave her all before going down 1-4 to second seed Ekaterina Paltceva of Russia in the summit clash.
The 19 year old made a strong comeback in the second round after a slow start with her flurry of punches landing on the home favourite.
Despite the Indian continuing to put up a brave show even in the third round, the result ultimately did not go her way.
The Haryana girl was fantastic throughout the tournament. Showing no nerves in her maiden appearance at this elite tournament, she refused to be intimidated by the bigger names of the sport.
Her spirit and zeal were evident in ample amounts when the Strandja Cup silver medallist pulled off a stunning upset win over the top seed Kim Hyang of North Korea in the quarter-finals.
She took that confidence into the semis and avenged her Thailand Open semi-final defeat to former World Championships bronze medallist Chuthamat Raksat of Thailand.
While Manju Rani was the only Indian to reach the final this year, India can draw a lot of positives from the best-ever overseas show that the women pugilists put up to equal last year's haul of four medals.
Mary Kom (51kg) got an unprecedented eighth medal from this prestigious tournament to add to her glittering resume that already has a staggering six gold medals and one silver. The Manipuri legend became the only boxer, male or female, to win eight medals from the Amateur World Championships.
Assam girls, Lovlina Borgohain (69kg) and Jamuna Boro (54kg) also shone to add to India's medal tally. While Borgohain repeated her feat of last year to take her second consecutive bronze medal, Boro picked a bronze in a smashing debut at the World Championships.
