I am grateful to everyone for your love and support, writes Lovlina Borgohain

Aug. 4: It has been a wonderful journey to Tokyo Olympics. Finally, my years of preparation have yielded me an Olympic medal. Although I was aiming for Gold, there’s always a next time and hopefully for the 2024 Paris Olympics. I thank my entire nation for their prayers and wishes and also dedicate this medal to my country.

This journey won’t be possible without the acknowledgment of the Boxing Federation of India (BF!), Ministry of Sports, Sports Authority of India, TOPS, OGQ, Assam Government, my chief coach Raffaele Bergamasco sir, personal coach Sandhya Gurung ma’am, sports scientist Amey Kolekar sir, physio Hemanta Kolita sir, nutritionist, all coaches, IOS Sports and boxing fraternity for their constant support.

My family has played a pivotal role in my success. They were there with me during thick and thin, especially my mother who motivated me clot despite her illness. Jai Hind.
