New Delhi: Lovlina Borgohain’s “dogged determination” drew all-round praise as the country raised a toast to the young boxer for winning a bronze medal in her maiden Olympic Games.

Borgohain (69kg) signed off with a bronze medal after a 0-5 loss to reigning world champion Busenaz Surmeneli on Wednesday, bringing an end to the country’s boxing campaign in Tokyo and adding a third medal to its overall tally.

“…With your hard work and dogged determination, you have done the nation proud. Your Bronze medal in boxing at the Olympics Games will inspire the youth, especially young women, to battle with challenges and turn their dreams into reality,” President Ram Nath Kovind wrote on his twitter handle.

Congratulations to Lovlina Borgohain! With your hard work and dogged determination, you have done the nation proud. Your Bronze medal in boxing at the Olympics Games will inspire the youth, especially young women, to battle with challenges and turn their dreams into reality.

— President of India (@rashtrapatibhvn) August 4, 2021

 

The 23-year-old’s bronze came after weightlifter Mirabai Chanu and shuttler PV Sindhu had secured a silver and bronze respectively.

“Well fought @LovlinaBorgohai! Her success in the boxing ring inspires several Indians. Her tenacity and determination are admirable. Congratulations to her on winning the Bronze. Best wishes for her future endeavours. #Tokyo2020,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted.

Borgohain stood up to the strong challenge of her opponent but came undone after Surmeneli got down to connecting her vicious hooks and body shots.

Sports Minister Anurag Thakur, however, lauded her effort.

“Lovlina, you gave your best punch! India is extremely proud of what you have achieved! You’ve achieved a Third place medal medal in your first Olympics; the journey has just begun! Well done @LovlinaBorgohai,” Thakur tweeted.

India’s lone individual Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra also congratulated Borgohain for her “stellar run” at the Olympics and shared his thoughts in a letter posted on twitter.

“To achieve a milestone of such difficulty while making your debut at the grandest sporting event in the world is nothing short of incredible. It speaks volumes of your immense grit and belief in your skills and not be overawed by the occasion.”

Former sportspersons, including cricketers, also took to the social media to wish the boxer from Assam.

“There is no doubt that the Turkish World Champion Busenaz  was a superior boxer. There is also no doubt that @LovlinaBorgohai gave it her all. Congrats on your bronze medal Lovlina. You have so much to be proud of,” former India hockey player Viren Rasquinha tweeted.
