Lovlina borhogain

North Paris Arena: Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist boxer Lovlina Borhogain crashed out of the Paris Olympics after losing to China’s Li Qian in the women's 75kg quarterfinal at North Paris Arena here on Sunday.

With Lovlina's 1-4 split result in the quarterfinal, India's boxing campaign ended in Paris without a medal. Previously, Nishant Dev lost to Mexico’s Marco Verde in the men’s 71kg quarterfinals on Sunday. Six Indian boxers earned the quota for the Olympics including four women and two men in the Games.

Qian won the first round with a 3-2 split decision and also took the second round by an identical margin. The Indian boxer failed to close the gap in the third and final round as the judges favoured the top-seed Chinese boxer with a 4-1 decision. Qian will now progress to the semifinal.
