India boxer Lovlina Borgohain, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics recently, is keen to visit schools in her home state, Assam, along with her medal in the hope that it inspires youth to excel in sport. 

“I want to contribute and inspire young minds at the grassroot level. Hopefully, my medal and my story will go a long way in inspiring kids to take up sports and pursue it. It will be great if my medal can be showcased across schools in Golaghat [where she was born and brought up] and across other regions Assam,” Borgohain, who lost to reigning world and Olympic champion Busenaz Surmenelli in the welterweight (69kg) semi-final and settled for bronze, told mid-day recently.
