How Long Can You Fear the Virus? Mary Kom Ahead of First Competition in a Year
News 18The fear of the coronavirus has made way for a fierce desire to compete in star Indian boxer M C Mary Kom’s mind as she gears up for her first tournament in a year next week, having recovered from the muscle loss triggered by a recent bout of dengue. Next week at the Boxam International tournament in Spain, she will step into the ring for the first time since making the cut for Tokyo Olympics at the Asian Qualifiers in Jordan last year. She might no longer fear the virus that put the world into disarray last year but the International Olympic Committee’s recent decision to cancel boxing’s world qualifiers because of the challenges posed by the pandemic do underline the continuing concerns. “All I can say is that those who qualified when the competitions were on, they got lucky.” Speaking about the Games in July-August, Mary Kom said she knows the expectations from her and is ready for the challenge too even though she would be up against much younger competition.
