HANGZHOU: Lovlina Borgohain had a lot riding on her. India was waiting for its first gold medal from the boxing ring in Hangzhou after four other boxers finished with a bronze each.
The hopes rested on the reigning world champion and Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Lovlina’s shoulders for the perfect final flourish. Disappointingly, she couldn’t rise to the occasion and lost her title bout to China’s two-time Olympic medallist, Li Qian, by a unanimous decision to finish with silver in the women’s 75kg division here on Wednesday.
