High hopes, disappointing return: Indian boxers flatter to deceive at Paris Olympics

New Indian Express  

Poor show But when it came to actual competition, the Indians never seemed to have the momentum needed to go deep into the tournament. With the exception of Nishant, who was denied a podium finish after a contentious result in his quarterfinal, the rest struggled with Borgohan and Zareen unable to overcome formidable opponents, and Amit Panghal failing to match his previous form. Although Borgohain and Zareen were handed challenging draws, with both encountering formidable opponents in their second rounds. Zareen, who was considered a potential gold medallist, was markedly off-colour in the second round and later revealed that she had been taking some extreme measures to stay inside the prescribed weight limit, that left her exhausted for actual competition. Jaismine Lamboria, who came in after dropping down to 57kg weight class from her more comfortable 60kg division, expectedly lost to Tokyo Olympics silver-medallist Nesthy Petecio.
