London Olympics - India bags Third Bronze Medal


India bags its fourth medal (bronze) by Mary Kom. Mary Kom, India's diminutive female boxer, bags her bronze medal by defeating Maroua Rahali of Tunisia. She tried hard to win the semifinal, but lost the match with Nicola Adams of UK. However, she stood third in the competition and had her first olympic Bronze medal.

India's diminutive female boxer Mary Kom who is mother of twin boys now became the nation's newest sports star. Eventhough she's been winning world championships for years, but boxing has few fans in India, and many in this traditional country can't fathom the idea of a woman landing lethal left hooks. Only now, has "Magnificent Mary" seized the front pages.
