Mary Kom
This is the Indian boxer's first medal at Commonwealth Games and probably the last as she is expected to retire after this tournament.
Indian boxer MC Mary Kom defeated Northern Ireland's Kristina O'Hara 5-0 to win the coveted gold in the 45-48kg category at the ongoing Commonwealth Games.
This medal took India's tally to 43, with Mary clinching boxing's first gold in this edition.
Kristina O'Hara was beaten on a unanimous points decision by the legendary Mary Kom.
This is the Indian boxer's first medal at Commonwealth Games and probably the last as she is expected to retire after this tournament.
Mary is a five-time World Champion, an Olympic bronze medalist and has also won the Asian Championship five times. She is the only Indian boxer to medal at this edition of the Games after Pinki Rani, L Sarita Devi and Lovlina Borgohain failed to reach the medal rounds.
President Ram Nath Kovind congratulated Mary Kom for winning the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games at Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
