Digital
Desk: Ace Boxer, Lovlina Borgohain and Ankushita keep Assam's hope alive for Golden as they enter the finals
of their respective weight divisions.
Assam
is currently at the 15th spot with 23 medals (7 gold, 10 silver, and 6 bronze)
and gold each from Ankushita and Lovlina will help the side surpass Telangana
(with an additional gold) to the 14th position in the medal tally.
However,
it was heartbreaking to see multiple Asian championship medalist Shiva Thapa of
Assam lose 2-3 to Services' Akash in a close call match. His statemates, Jamuna
Boro (57kg) and Pwilao Basumatary (60kg), also settled for the bronze. Among
the region’s other boxers to take the bronze are Manipur’s Pravish Konthoujam
(women’s 60kg) and Mason Moirangthem (men’s 60kg), Tripura’s Karan Rupini
(men’s 51kg) and Mizoram’s Lallawmawma (men’s 57kg).
Also
advancing to their respective finals were Services' heavyweight boxer Sanjeet,
Punjab's Simranjit Kaur and Mandeep Kaur, the national championship silver
medallist duo of Ankit Sharma and Minakshi, while Assam's Ankushita Boro set up
an exciting Northeastern derby with Manipur's Alena Thounaojam for the 66kg
welterweight category title.
