Mary Kom @ Family:-
Mary was born in Kangathei, Manipur. Her parents, Mangte Tonpa Kom and
Mangte Akham Kom, worked in jhum fields. She completed
her primary education from Loktak Christian Model High School, Moirang, up to her class VI standard and
attended St. Xavier School, Moirang, up to class VIII. She then moved to
Adimjati High School, Imphal, for her schooling for class IX and X, but could
not pass her exam. She did not want to reappear for her exams so she quit her
school and gave her examination from NIOS, Imphal and graduation from
Churachandpur College. Although
she had a keen interest in athletics from childhood, it was the success of Dingko Singh that inspired
her to become a boxer in 2000.
She is married to K Onler Kom and has twin sons, Rechungvar and
Khupneivar and are practicing Roman Catholics.
Mary Kom @ Early Life:-
Kom initially tried to hide her interest in boxing from her
family, since it was not considered a suitable sport for a woman. However,
after her victory in the Manipur state women's boxing championship in 2000, her
career became public; her father discovered his daughter's achievement through
a photograph in a newspaper. After winning the regional championship in West
Bengal, Kom began competing at the international level at the age of 18, only a
year after she started boxing. Her international debut was at the first AIBA Women's World Boxing Championship in the United
States, where she won a silver medal in the 48 kg weight category. She
followed this with a gold medal in the 45 kg class at the second AIBA Women's World Boxing Championship in Turkey in
2002.
In 2003, Kom won a gold medal in the 46 kg class - she would
compete in this class for the next three years - at the Asian Women's Boxing Championship in India, and
was awarded the national Arjuna Award for
outstanding sporting achievement. In 2004, she won gold at the Women's Boxing
World Cup in Norway, and in 2005 again won gold at the Asian Women's Boxing Championship in Taiwan and
the AIBA Women's World Boxing Championship in Russia.
The following year, she won gold at the Venus
Women's Box Cup in
Denmark and the AIBA Women's World Boxing Championship in India. Her
victory in the World Championship was marred by illness; the final had to be
suspended in the second round, with Kom leading 19-4.
Mary Kom @ Back to Boxing:-
Mary Kom Olympics |
After a two-year break, she won a silver medal at the 2008 Asian Women's Boxing Championship in India and a fourth
successive gold medal at theAIBA
Women's World Boxing Championship in China, followed by a
gold medal at the 2009
Asian Indoor Games in
Vietnam.
In 2010, Kom won the gold medal at the Asian Women's Boxing Championship in
Kazakhstan, and at the AIBA
Women's World Boxing Championship in Barbados,
her fifth consecutive gold at the championship. She competed in Barbados in the
48 kg weight class, after AIBA had stopped using the 46 kg class.In
the 2010
Asian Games, she competed in the 51 kg class - the lowest in
the contest - and won a bronze medal. In 2011, she won gold in thr 48 kg
class at the Asian Women's Cup in China, and in 2012 took the gold medal in the
51 kg class at the Asian Women's Boxing Championship in Mongolia.
On 3 October 2010, she, along with Vijender Singh, had the honour of bearing
the Queen's Baton in its opening
ceremony run
in the stadium for the 2010
Commonwealth Games of
Delhi. She did not compete, however, as women's boxing was not included in the
Commonwealth Games.
Mary Kom @ Olympics:-
At the 2012
AIBA Women's World Boxing Championship, Kom was competing not just
for the championship itself but also for a place at the 2012 Summer
Olympics in
London, the first time women's boxing had featured as an Olympic sport. She was
defeated in the 51 kg quarter-finals by Nicola Adams of the UK,
making this the first year since the championship began that Kom did not win a
medal, but did succeed in getting a place for the Olympics. She was the only
Indian woman to qualify, with Laishram Sarita
Devi narrowly
missing a place in the 60 kg class.
Kom was accompanied to London by her mother. Kom's coach
Charles Atkinson will not join her at the Olympic Village as he doesn't possess
an International Boxing Association (AIBA) 3 Star Certification, which is
mandatory for accreditation.
The first Olympic round was held on 5 August 2012, with Kom
defeating Karolina Michalczuk of Poland
19-14 in the third women's boxing match ever to be fought at the Olympics. In
the quarter-final, the following day, she defeated Maroua Rahali of Tunisia with a score
of 15-6. She
will face Nicola Adams of UK in the
semi-final on 8 August; as both losing players in the semi-finals are awarded
bronze medals, however, she is effectively guaranteed to win a medal in the
contest
