Mary Kom - mother of two; from the land of manipur; was victorious and grabbed gold medal 'again' for the fifth straight time in 48 kilograms category on Sunday.
Could not resist to upload her and the coach's 'standing tall' pic. Where you can see all the emotions on this warrier's face. Feeling of a achiever, pride, winner, I-know-its-very-easy kinda feeling oozing on her face. Simply brilliant!
She took boxing as a career to provide financial support to the family. She took this step after getting inspired from Dingko Singh who brought home gold medal from Bangkok in Asian games.
Apparently, she is enthusiastically managing her two children along with the sports. Even if she knows that the age is definitely not on her side for 2012 London Olympics, she gets more than excited about it; and informed the media that she is not gonna give up the sport unless she grabs at-least one Olympic gold medal for India.
Hope she inspires many more such fighters in our country to take up this sport. Kudos to the sports and the sportswoman!
