Tokyo, July 30: After days of frustrating wait, India is assured of a medal, their second, in the Tokyo Olympics on Friday (July 30). Boxer Lovlina Borgohain has entered the semifinal of the 69 kg category, and assured her and India at least a bronze.
Lovlina defeated her opponent from Chinese Thaipei's Nien-Chin Chen 4-1 in split verdict. The Indian boxer used her better reach and maintained her aggression in all three rounds to emerge the winner. Mirabai Chanu had gifted India a silver in the 49kg weightlifting on the second day of the Olympics.
Lovlina also erased the disappointment of shock defeat of MC Mary Kom in the 49kg category to Ingrit Valencia of Colombia on Thursday (July 29).
But there was a bit of heartbreak of India in the ring as Simranjit Kaur bowed out of the ongoing Tokyo Olympics after Thailand's Sudaporn Seesondee defeated her in women's lightweight (57-60kg) by 5-0 here at Kokugikan Arena on Friday (July 30).
Seesondee advanced to the quarterfinals after this victory against Simranjit in the lightweight category. All five judges gave the unanimous decision in favor of Thailand's boxer as she thrashed the Indian in three rounds. Simranjit started the match with a flurry of punches but it was Sudaporn who came out at the top with all judges ruling in the favour of the Thai boxer.
Seesondee started the second round brilliantly as she landed three successive left hands-on Simranjit. And continued to derail the rhythm of the Indian boxer and took the round very easily. Simranjit had no chance but to aim for the knockout in the third round.
The Indian went on offense but the clever footwork by Thai pugilist never gave her any clear-cut chance. Earlier on Thursday, Mary Kom, the face of India's boxing contingent, faced a shocking defeat -- split decision -- at the hands of Colombia's Ingrit Valencia to bow out from the ongoing Tokyo Olympics (/topic/tokyo-olympics) on Thursday. Valencia won bout 3-2.
