Asian Games 2023 Top Contenders: World Champion Lovlina Borgohain targetting golden glory in boxing

#LovlinaBorgohain #Boxing

<h2>Lovlina Borgohain had a disappointing outing at the Commonwealth Games 2022 but since then has gone on to win the Asian and World Championships.</h2>

Lovlina Borgohain!
At a mere 25 years of age, she's already etched her name in Indian sporting history. The boxer from Assam burst into stardom with a resounding bronze medal triumph at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Before that unforgettable moment in Tokyo, Lovlina's prowess remained largely in the shadows, hidden from the world's gaze. Yet, her journey to glory was far from sudden. She had clinched bronze at both the World and Asian Championships before her stunning Olympic display.
However, a formidable challenge awaited her when she was compelled to transition to a higher weight class following the removal of welterweight from the Olympic program. All her prior international victories had been in the welterweight (69kg) division, making the shift to middleweight (75kg) a daunting endeavour.
Despite early exits at the 2022 World Championships and a medal-less outing at the Commonwealth Games, Lovlina remained resolute and she eventually silenced her critics and doubters, rising once more like a phoenix from the ashes.
Her crowning moment arrived when she seized her maiden Gold at the 2022 Asian Championships, where she decisively defeated Ruzmetova Sokhiba of Uzbekistan with a resounding 5-0 victory.
But Lovlina was far from satisfied with her Asian Championships triumph. Her gaze was firmly fixed on the 2023 World Championships, hosted in the heart of Delhi, in her homeland India.
And what an extraordinary journey it was! Breaking her longstanding bronze medal jinx at the World Championships, Lovlina's path to a well-deserved Gold was nothing short of spectacular. In the semifinals, she bested a giant of the sport, the two-time Olympic medalist and former World Champion, top-seeded Li Quan of China. Despite Quan's towering reach, Lovlina's nimble footwork and swift moves outsmarted her opponent, rendering her giant wingspan inconsequential.
Finally, the woman who had claimed bronze in 2018 and 2019 ascended to the pinnacle as a World Champion, a moment destined to stay in her memory for eternity.
Yet, Lovlina's journey continues, as she sets her sights on the coveted Gold at the Asian Games in Hangzhou. This medal, when added to her illustrious collection, will signify her dominance on both the Asian and world stages, alongside her World Championship Gold and Olympic Bronze. A relentless champion, Lovlina Borgohain's story is one of unwavering determination and unparalleled achievement.
Lovlina Borgohain's schedule for Asian Games 2023 The preliminary round in Lovlina's 75kg category will start on September 26
Where to watch Lovlina Borgohain's event on TV? Chanu's event will be broadcast live on the Sony Sports Network.

After making India proud at Tokyo Olympics, boxer Lovlina Borgohain will be aiming for a superb show at Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham. 
The Olympic Bronze medallist boxer failed to secure a medal in the previous edition of the Commonwealth Games as she was knocked out in the quarterfinals at the Gold Coast.
However, the 24-year-old boxer shed the horror of the Commonwealth Games thereafter and clinched a Bronze at the 2019 World Boxing Championships. 
Such was her meteoric rise in international boxing since then that she claimed a Bronze at World's biggest sporting extravaganza. 
However, her form saw a slump after the Tokyo Olympics. She was knocked out from the 2022 World Championship in the pre-quarterfinals. After World Championship's disappointment, Lovlina stated that no one learns from wins but from defeats.
And once again she showed her never die approach and sealed a CWG 2022 spot in the 70-kg category by winning the trials, conducted by the Indian Boxing Federation. 
With Olympics Gold being her career goal, Borgohain aims to become a champion at Commonwealth Games first before moving to her future endeavors.

The Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist had alleged on Sunday that her coach had been denied entry into the Commonwealth Games (CWG) Village.

BFI further explained that only 33% of the playing contingent is allowed as support staff which in BFI’s case for the 12 boxers stands to be 4 support staff including coaches, who were to travel with the team to Burmingham. However, with IOA’s help the number of support staff went up from 4 to 8 for the entire contingent of 12 boxers.
Lovlina on Sunday took to Twitter and wrote about the mental harrasment she had been subjected to. The boxer wrote that the coaches who helped her win the Olympic medal were removed which hindered her training process.
