I had a lot of emotions going through me - should I be happy that I won bronze or sad that I lost the opportunity to play in the final?" the 26-year-old said after the match.## "But overall, I had to close off my emotions for this one match and give it my best, my all, and think about the emotions. I'm really happy and I think I've done really well. It's a proud moment getting a medal for my country", she added. ## On this historical success of Sindhu, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi along with cine and sports stars took to social media and congratulate her - ## We are all elated by the stellar performance by @Pvsindhu1.

Priyanka Chopra Hails Boxer Mary Kom After Her Shocking Olympics Exit

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, July 30, 2021: Actress Priyanka Chopra has showered praises on Indian boxer Mary Kom after her Tokyo Olympics 2020 journey came to an end. The six-time world boxing champion lost to Colombia's Ingrit Valencia, who won bout 3-2 in the flyweight (51kg) pre-quarterfinal, on Thursday (July 29). ## Priyanka Chopra, who played Mary Kom in the boxer's biopic, took to social media and hailed the Bronze medalist of the London Olympics (2012). Sharing the picture of Mary, PC wrote, "This is what the ultimate champion looks like… Bravo @MangteC… you've shown us how to go the distance with passion and dedication. You inspire us and make us proud Every.Single.Time Raising hands #Legend". ## This is what the ultimate champion looks like…Bravo @MangteC… you’ve shown us how to go the distance with passion and dedication. You inspire us and make us proud Every.Single.Time 🙌🏽 #Legend pic.twitter.com/jXnoiUEznu— PRIYANKA (@priyankachopra) July 29, 2021 ## Meanwhile, Mary Kom slammed the International Olympic Committee's Boxing Task Force for "poor judging" in her flyweight (51kg) pre-quarterfinal at the Tokyo Games which she lost despite winning two of the three rounds. The Task Force is conducting the boxing competition in Tokyo after the International Boxing Association (AIBA) was suspended by the IOC for alleged misgovernance and financial wrongdoing.## "I had beaten this girl twice in the past. I couldn't believe that her hand was raised by the referee. I swear, it hadn't struck me that I lost, I was so sure", said Mary adding, "The worst part is that there is no review or protest. Honestly I am sure the world must have seen, this is too much what they have done," she said. "I should have got the second round unanimously, how was it 3-2? What happened was totally unpredictable". ## Stay tuned...
