Lovlina Borgohain cites luck in Olympic loss, vows comeback

Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain has attributed her quarter-final loss at the Paris Olympics to luck, vowing to return stronger in future competitions. Borgohain's Olympic journey ended after a 4:1 defeat against China's Li Qian in the women's 75 kg category on Sunday.

Speaking to ANI, Borgohain expressed hope for her future in boxing, stating, "Hopefully, I will be stronger for the next Olympics."
