Commonwealth Games India:Heart fail for Lovelyna fans,she loses in quaterfinal.
Lovelyna Borgohen, a bronze medalist at the Tokyo Olympics, was a contender to win a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. The level of competition at the Commonwealth Games is always higher than that of the Olympics.
So fans and experts believed that Lovelyna’s punch would give India the gold medal. But the anti-climax comes on Wednesday evening itself. Lovely loses the quarter-finals. As a result, Lovely could not win not only gold but also bronze.
At a glance, this seems like a sad and common occurrence involving the game and the players. It seems that the game keeps on winning and losing. But this incident will seem unusual if we look at the events of the last few days connected with Lovely. It looks at issues like the stubbornness of a star athlete and the ongoing controversy and mismanagement in Indian boxing.
People associated with Boxing Federation cannot digest this defeat of Lovely Lovelyna caught in local politics. An official associated with the federation said on anonymity that Lovely used to post on social media before the Commonwealth Games started. It looked like someone was driving it.
Loveline had tweeted before the Games that she was being mentally harassed. He alleged that he was being prevented from training with his coach. He is kept away from his coach. Lavina said her coaches are not allowed to enter the Commonwealth Games Village.
According to people who knew both the federation and Lovely, Lovelyna’s boxing became embroiled in the federation’s domestic politics. It is believed that there is tension between the North India and North East groups in the Boxing Federation, and Loveline is being used in it.
According to a federation group, Loveline has accused Monsik of harassing her on social media.
The Boxing Federation of India has revealed that the boxer’s doctor was
expelled after Lovelina’s allegation. According to the Boxing Federation, Lovelina’s coaches and other sports staff have been kept out of the Games Village. The organizers of the Games allowed only a limited number of staff to visit the Games Village. So some staff was laid off.
After Lavalina’s accusation, there was political pressure from the North-East. After that, the team doctor was kicked out to give a place in the games village to Loveline coach Sandhya Gurung. Earlier it was decided that a sports staff member from the North-East would be taken out on the evening. But after political pressure from the North-East, the doctor was expelled.
The head coach of the boxing team vacated his room in the Games Village, handed it over to the coach of Lovely, and himself shifted to the hotel.
There was drama even before the opening ceremony
. Even after getting the selected coach, Lovelyna’s anger did not subside. He left in the middle of the opening ceremony. She left early for a match at the Alexander Stadium with another Indian boxer, Mohammad Hussamuddin. He said he has to practice in the morning, so he wants to go early. He couldn’t find a taxi, and the two were stranded outside for hours.
Ignoring the coach’s advice in the
Lovely was beaten 3-2 by Wales’ Roly Assells in the quarter-finals. Loveline had a strong start in this match. She went further in the second round, but the whole game turned upside down.
The coaching staff asked him to focus on the game and gave situational suggestions. But allegedly, Loveline ignored these instructions and lost the match due to carelessness. She started playing very rough. The referee also warned him about that.
The coach convinced Loveline to focus on her game instead of getting rough, but Loveline didn’t listen. Thus, instead of awarding her full marks in the first two rounds, a judge deducted her one point in the last round, and therefore, Lovely and India lost a medal.
