Biografie

With medals at the Olympics, the world and the Asian championships, all in a span of just a few years, Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric.

The journey from a small village to international podiums, however, took the young boxer much more than four years.

Born on October 2, 1997, in a remote hamlet called Baromukhia in the Golaghat district of Assam, Lovlina Borgohain’s family struggled to make ends meet during her childhood.

But that did not stop Lovlina’s father from supporting his children’s sporting ambitions.

Lovlina and her two elder sisters took up Muay Thai, a form of kickboxing. Both her siblings even competed at the national level.

However, Lovlina Borgohain found her true calling in boxing.

While attending a Sports Authority of India (SAI) boxing trial at her school in 2012, Lovlina Borgohain’s talent caught the eyes of Padum Boro, who eventually became her childhood coach.

“I took a few tests of her like punching bag, fast punching and she did well on those parameters. I thought she could be made into a boxer,” Padum Boro recalled during an interview with Olympics.com.
