Lovlina put her native place Assam on the world map by punching her way in the mega event. She scripted history by ensuring India its second medal in the ongoing Olympic event. In the hardly contested bout, Lovlina defeated former world champion Chen Nien-Chin of Taiwan in the quarter-final and moved into semi-final of the Women’s Welterweight match.

PV Sindhu was the second sportsperson to increase India’s prospects of winning a medal at Olympics. Having stormed into semi-final, the shuttler carries high hopes of her shoulder, as she has already clinched a silver medal earlier in 2016 Rio Olympics.
