Boxer Lovlina Borgohain’s Psychic Warfare
This tall boxer from Assam, Lovlina Borgohain’s psychic
warfare tactic is exemplary which she had proved during quarter final at
Olympic 2020 in Tokyo when her name was stripped from her uniform as that happened
with Manipur’s Mary Kom the world champion.
We could say it was unfortunate what had happened to Mary
Kom who was completely at a loss of words when she was forced to change with a
nameless top prior five minutes before the game. Even Lovlina was agitated with
same treatment from the organizer but she retained her consistency without expressing
psychic turmoil.
Mary Kom was disturbed which impacted her during boxing
against an opponent whom she had defeated number of times, this failure made
Lovlina Borgohain alert about the psychological warfare in Olympic sport and
worked out perfectly against psychic warfare before the begin of the big fight.
It was strange that at the quarters neither Mary Kom
nor Lovlina Borgohain sported their names on their top when their opponent displayed.
Indian Boxing High Performance Director Santiago Niever stated names must have
allowed on their vests which is strange it did not occur in big games like
Olympic.
Even in the ring Lovlina had undergone psychic
influences but she never let it to overpower her and concentrated to defeat her
much powerful opponent Nien Chin Chen, Chinese Taipie to whom she had lost four
times. Being initially a kick boxer it helped Lovlina to maintain exemplary
footwork during Olympic boxing quarterfinal to duck and hit the opponent with
winning points.
The fourth seeded Chinese Taipei player even seemed
perplexed by her agility and footwork display that Lovlina reformed in her game
statistic. The debutant Indian boxer Lovlina avenged in the ring all her
frustration by exerting her aggressiveness to dominate with her powerful
punches from all the directions due to which the judges had to make split
decision.
Never was seen Lovlina in such aggressive manner, the
fear of losing was great on her though she appeared fierce whenever her
opponent choose to overpower her, she ducked, moved and struck not to be cowed
down.
Lovlina would shine in the ‘Greatest show on Earth’
like Olympics was never thought about as she hailed from a remote village of
Golaghat district, Assam and struggled to enlist her names on international
chart.
Some where she missed in the big international tournaments
and won also but Olympic is the platform that world No. 1 athlete seeks for and
our Lovlina made a mark that Assam won’t forget apart from how she demonstrated
boxing in proper psyche and spirit.
