London: The 29-year-old five-time world champion fought her way but
settled for an Olympic bronze on Wednesday after losing her semifinal bout to Great
Britain’s Nicola Adams.
Mary Kom says sorry after semi-final loss but said she was
satisfied with her effort at the London Games.
“I am sorry, couldn’t win gold or silver. I know my fans
prayed and wished for me. I tried my hardest. I am satisfied with my performance,”
said Mary Kom shortly after losing in the 51kg class.
The mother of two from Manipur was completely out-boxed by
the second-seeded Briton in all the four rounds (1-3, 1-2, 2-3, 2-3) to deny
the Indian to enter the final of the event.
With this medal Mary Kom, became the second Indian
boxer to win a medal after Vijender Singh.
Women's boxing made its Olympic debut in London.
