A 10-gun salute to Mary Kom for her incredible performance at the London olympics, despite all the odds. Getting a medal in womens boxing that too from a male dominated country like India is a tremendous achievement. Mary, being a 5 time world champion, carried a lot of hope and expectations of a billion people, which unfortunately is the bane of many a sportsmen and sportswomen in India. There is a tinge of dissapointment that she couldnt box her way to the finals which would have really been some achievement. However a place in the podium is always to be cherished and the 5 time world champion has given India that honor.
Like Mary, Devendroo too was a medal hopeful but it was not to be as he was outsmarted by a superior rival. Still age is on his side and this performance on a big stage should see many more laurels come his way in the future provided he is groomed and supported in the right way.
