Indian boxers have made history by guaranteeing 10 medals, surpassing their previous record of seven medals achieved in Birmingham, according to Times of India. This milestone was reached as six more boxers, including Sakshi Chaudhary, Arundhati Choudhary, and world champion Jaismine Lamboria, joined their teammates in the semifinals of their respective weight categories. The achievement marks a significant improvement in India's boxing performance.
The boxers who secured semifinal spots, in addition to the previously qualified Lovlina Borgohain, Priya Ghanghas, Preeti Pawar, and Jadumani Singh, will compete in various weight categories, including 51kg, 57kg, 60kg, 70kg, 75kg, 80kg, 54kg, 55kg, and +90kg. The Indian team's performance has been notable, with the number of guaranteed medals already exceeding the seven won in Birmingham, which included three gold, one silver, and three bronze medals.
This achievement is significant as it showcases India's growing prowess in boxing, particularly in comparison to its previous performance in Birmingham.
