Vijender wins hearts albeit losing the fight!

Vijender Kumar lost his semifinal bout yesterday to the Cuban Boxer Emilio Correa Bayeaux. This was a sad moment for a billion of Indians who had pinned their hopes on Vijender to get India a second Gold.

Nevertheless, Vijender has won a Bronze medal, another first by any Indian boxer in the Olympics. The boxer from India's mini Cuba (Bhiwani) lost to the actual Cuban boxer, but has won the hearts of all his countrymen. This has announced India's arrival in Boxing to the world.
