New Delhi: Gearing up to make the Olympic cut for a second successive time, star Indian woman boxer MC Mary Kom yesterday said it would be no walk in the park to fetch a medal even if she qualifies for next year's Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Mary Kom, who won a bronze medal in the 2012 London Games where women's boxing made its Olympic debut, said Rio would be a tougher proposition given that the size of draw is expected to be bigger. "Qualifying for the Rio Games would be tough and winning a medal would be even tougher. I am trying all I can to qualify for the Games," said the pugilist who was here to felicitate podium-finishers of the recent Special Olympic Games where India claimed 173 medals.
