Reigning Youth World champions Alfiya Pathan and Gitika produced sensational performances to win Gold medals at the inaugural edition of the Elorda Boxing Cup in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan on Monday.
Two other female boxers — Kalaivani Srinivasan and Jamuna Boro — signed off with Silver medals. With the addition of two Gold, two Silver and 10 Bronze on the final day, the 33-member Indian contingent concluded its campaign with an overall tally of 14 medals.
Alfiya did not have to break a sweat and got an unanimous 5-0 verdict as she proved too strong for her opponent, the 2016 world champion, Lazzat Kungeibayeva, in the women's 81kg final. Gitika, on the other hand, clinched a thrilling 4-1 victory over compatriot Kalaivani in an intense all-Indian women's 48kg final.
