Racing against time to get fit, six-time world champion boxer MC Mary Kom is targeting the Asian Games as her swansong in the ring before she is "forced" to retire next year.

'I'll be forced to retire next year' - Mary Kom aiming to do well in Asian Games

Mary Kom is hoping to get fit for the Asian Games before she is 'forced to retire' next year

The veteran pugilist, who had torn her anterior cruciate ligament after twisting her left knee during the Commonwealth Games selection trials last year, underwent a reconstructive surgery to repair the ACL tear in August.

Racing against time to get fit, six-time world champion boxer MC Mary Kom is targeting the Asian Games as her swansong in the ring before she is "forced" to retire next year.
The veteran pugilist, who had torn her anterior cruciate ligament after twisting her left knee during the Commonwealth Games selection trials last year, underwent a reconstructive surgery to repair the ACL tear in August.
"What happened during the Commonwealth Games trials was very unfortunate. I suffered a major injury and I had to undergo a surgery," Mary said at the unveiling of the Indian team jersey ahead of the women's World Championship.
"I'm trying to come back soon. Because I have only this year, next year I'll be forced to retire. So this year I want to compete in any competition before the retirement." According to the rules, the maximum participation age for a boxer is 40 years and the Manipuri will turn 41 in November.
However, in order to be selected for the marquee-event, the London Olympics bronze medallist will have to go through the new selection process, which requires a boxer to go through an evaluation test in the national camp.

From Sourav Ganguly's shirtless celebration to Kumble's broken jaw, there are several images that speak for themselves. And, here we are looking back at 10 images that have defined Indian Sporting history since the Independence. 
 India's 1st major sporting event
India hosted the first-ever Asian Games which took place in Delhi. The week-long event started on 4th March 1951.  India stood 2nd in the marquee event and collected as many as 51 medals which included 15 gold, 16 silver, and 20 bronze. 
Olympic Glory for New India
KD Jadhav brought home independent India's 1st ever Olympic medal. The Maharashtra-born star won the bronze medal in the Bantamweight category of wrestling at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952.
India's 1st World Champion
Wilson Jones who won the World Amateur Billiards Championships in 1958 and 1964 was the first to win a world championship across sports in independent India. He was awarded Arjuna Award in 1963, Padma Shri in 1965, and the Guru Dronacharya award in 1996. 
The Big HeartbreakIndia’s first legend of the track, Flying Sikh Milkha Singh had missed out on a Bronze medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics by just 0.1s in the 400m race. Though he won at Commonwealth, and Asian Games and made multiple national records, the Olympic medal eluded him endlessly. 
A new dawn in Indian cricket
Underdogs India defeated the legendary West Indies who entered the campaign as hot favourites and lifted their first-ever World Cup. The moment that changed Indian cricket forever.Captain Kapil Dev received the trophy from Prince Charles.
A broken jaw - No problem!

Shirtless Dada at Lord's
Sourav Ganguly took off his jersey, swung it in the air at Lord's, and celebrated the historic NatWest triumph against England. While the win was special, cricketers, management & audience were apparently allowed to maintain the dress code of Lord's. But, Dada flouted the norm as he celebrated the iconic victory in the most iconic way. 
'India win the World Cup'
It took another 28 years for India to win another World Cup. In 2011, the MS Dhoni-led team defeated Sri Lanka to lift the trophy again. Team India dedicated the World Cup victory to 'God of Cricket' Sachin Tendulkar
Farewell, Little Master!
A billion Indians had tears in their eyes when Sachin Tendulkar walked out for one final time in Mumbai's Wankhede. Tendulkar retired from all forms of cricket after his 200th Test which was against West Indies.
