India’s performance on the sixth day in the Commonwealth Games 2022 was excellent. Indian players won a total of five medals, but the surprising thing was that Lovlina Borgohain could not even make it to the semi-finals. She crashed out after losing in the quarterfinal match and could not win any medals. Lovlina, who won a medal for the country in the Tokyo Olympics, was expected to do better in the Commonwealth. Winning his medal was believed to be certain. The country was also expecting a gold medal from her, but Lovlina’s defeat in the quarterfinal match has shocked everyone.
This Commonwealth Games has been full of controversies for Lovlina. Earlier his coach was not getting permission to go inside the sports village. On this matter, Lovlina expressed her pain on social media and instead of the doctor of the boxing team, Lovlina’s coach was allowed to go inside the sports village. She then left before the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, but kept waiting for the taxi. Due to all these reasons, the performance of Lovlina has declined.
How was Lovlina’s performance?
Lovlina played a total of two matches in the Commonwealth Games 2022. In the women’s 66-70 kg category, Lovlina’s first match was against New Zealand’s Ariane Nicholson. In this match, Lovlina showed a great game and won the match by a margin of 5-0. All the judges were impressed by Lovlina’s game and she won. However, this did not happen in the second match.
In the quarter final match, Lovlina faced Rosie Eccles of Wales and Lovlina lost the match by 2-3. In this match, there was a close fight between the two boxers, but in the end, the boxer from Wales got the victory. Lovlina also lost a penalty point in this match and was out of the competition after losing the match.
Training was stopped eight days before the Commonwealth Games
Eight days before the start of the Commonwealth Games, Lovlina had posted on social media that she was facing mental harassment due to the carelessness of the management. His training came to a halt eight days before his match at the Commonwealth Games. Lovlina had said – Today I say with great sadness that I am being tortured a lot. Every time my coaches, who helped me get medals at the Olympics, interfere with my training and my competitions and harass me by removing them time and again. One of my coaches Sandhya Gurung is also honored with the Dronacharya Award. Both my coaches are included in the camp too late for training after joining hands a thousand times.
Lovlina had written – I have to face a lot of problems in training with this and there is mental torture. Right now my coach Sandhya Gurung is outside Commonwealth Village (Game Village) and she is not getting entry and my training has stopped eight days before my match. My second coach has also been sent back. This happened even after my so many requests, it has caused me a lot of mental torture. I don’t know how to focus on my game.
Because of this, my last World Championship was also spoiled. I don’t want to spoil my performance in Commonwealth Games because of this politics. Hope I can break this politics and bring medal for my country. Jai Hind.
After Lovleena’s post created a ruckus, her coach was hurriedly allowed inside the sports village and the boxing team doctor was thrown out for this. Lovlina also expressed happiness after the coach was allowed to go inside the sports village.
Was in controversy even on the day of the opening ceremony
Lovlina had left the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony midway. She wanted to train the next morning, but she could not find a taxi and was stuck for almost an hour. He was accompanied by another member of the Indian boxing contingent, Muhammad Hussamuddin. Rajesh Bhandar, vice-president of the Boxing Federation of India, expressed displeasure over the matter saying “We were in the middle of the ceremony and I found out later that he and another boxer left early. We all came in buses and taxis were available at that time. No. If they wanted to leave early they shouldn’t have come. There were a number of athletes who chose not to come because they had to go to training or competition in the morning, which we totally understand. I’m on the matter with the boxing team. I’ll talk to you.”
Medal lost due to controversies
Due to constant controversies just before the Commonwealth Games, Lovlina could not fully concentrate on her game and missed out on a medal. Apart from Lovlina, athlete Tejaswin had also been in controversy before the game and had reached Birmingham just three days before the match. Though she managed to win the medal, Lovlina missed out on the medal.
