'Target is to qualify on the first chance': Lovlina sets sights on LA28 Olympics after Asiad gold · thehansindia.com

Lovlina Borgohain has just won a gold medal at the Asian Games.

Now she is working toward the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

The first chance to qualify is expected to come at the 2027 World Boxing Championships in Kazakhstan.

India’s boxing federation plans to give Asian Games medallists the main entries to that event.

Lovlina hopes to qualify on that first try.

Doing so would give her more time to get ready for the Olympics.

She says she is enjoying her Asian Games medal rather than trying to prove anything to others.

She also believes Indian boxers are doing well because they have a champion mindset and receive government support.

Her advice to young athletes is to keep trusting themselves.
