Nikhat Zareen Exits in Olympic Pre-Quarterfinals

Indian boxing star Nikhat Zareen's Olympic campaign came to an early end as she was defeated by top seed Wu Yu of China in the pre-quarterfinals of the women's 50kg category at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Despite her best efforts, Zareen lost 0-5 in a unanimous decision. This defeat has been particularly heartbreaking for Zareen, who had been a strong medal contender and had overcome numerous challenges to qualify for the Games. She expressed her disappointment in an emotional social media post but vowed to return stronger in pursuit of her Olympic dream. Zareen's journey at the Olympics started with a victory over Germany's Maxi Carina Kloetzer. The Indian boxing contingent has seen mixed results, with other boxers like Lovlina Borgohain advancing while others have been eliminated.
