MARY KOM WINS GOLD AT CWG 2018

The legend of M C Mary Kom grew larger as the Indian boxer added a Commonwealth Games gold to her packed medal cabinet, thrashing Northern Ireland's Kristina O'Hara in the 48 kg Light Flyweight category final in Gold Coast on Saturday.

The 35 year old five-time world champion and Olympic bronze-medallist was competing in her debut Commonwealth Games, also perhaps her last, and made it a memorable one with yet another dominating performance to claim an unanimous verdict of 5-0.

Mary Kom had claimed the Asian Championships gold five months ago, before ensnaring the top honours at the India Open in January. She had also won a silver medal at the Strandja Memorial Tournament in Bulgaria.
