Indian boxing sensation Lovlina Borgohain has advanced to the quarterfinals of the women’s welterweight (69 kg) category at the Paris 2024 Olympics. With a commanding performance, Borgohain is now just one victory away from clinching her second consecutive Olympic medal, a feat that would solidify her status as one of India’s most accomplished athletes.

In her opening 75-kg round of the competition, she won over Sunniva Hofstad of Norway by unanimous decision, scoring 5-0 points. Following this triumph, Borgohain is now just one win away from earning a medal and making boxing history in India.

In the quarter-finals, she will face Chinese boxer Li Qian on August 4. If Borgohain wins her next fight against Li Qian, she will ensure herself at least a bronze medal, which she can add to her amazing Tokyo Olympics medal collection, which she earned in the 69 kg category.

As the nation holds its breath, all eyes will be on the boxing ring, where Lovlina Borgohain continues her quest for Olympic glory.
