Hi friends let us discuss about the future hero , who is expected to win an Olympic medal in London ,2012.She is none other than 4 times Boxing Champion Mary Kom.Eventhough we have a population over 110 crores, we still don’t perform well in Olympics. But we can say that there is a development and players will win more medals in future. Recenlty in 2008, China Olympics, India managed to win three medals (1 gold + 2 Bronze), thanks to Abinav Bindra,Sushil Kumar and Vijendar .

But there was one field where India dominated, i.e. hockey, where India has won many gold medals and that too consecutively, better than any other country in the world. It was those days, we dominated the game and one of the best player that the world has ever seen is Dyanchand. But recently we even failed to qualify for the Olympics and this was really bad as Hockey is our National game. The main reason is that Government should take steps and also show interests in the development of games in India other than cricket.

So our next destination is 2012, London Olympics and we should win more medals than that of 2008 Olympics. There is a chance that T20 cricket might find its place in 2012 Olympics and we can hope that India can win another medal. But here in this article let us discuss about another strong contender for the medal and that too, a Gold medal is possible.

We are discussing about the 4 time boxing champion Mary Kom, who is expected to participate in the event. Since there is a possibility that women boxing can take place in 2012, Mary Kom is all set to win a medal. But when we look back at her history, she thanks Dingo Singh, who was the inspiration for her to take this sport.It was in 1998,Dingo Singh have won the gold medal in Asian games and after that he had a lot of fans in Manipur, who was also willing to take this sport.

One such fan was Mary Kom and she decided to take this game in 200 and just spent 2 weeks of time to know the basics about the game. But she faced lot of hurdles as she didn’t have enough money to buy boxing gloves on her own. Once her father saw her in news paper with a gold medal, as she was a state champion at that time, and her father was shocked as he was not aware of Mary Kom’s participation in the game.
