Mary Kom, the first Indian woman to win a medal at the Olympics, was not able to participate in this edition due the age limit rule in Boxing as no one above the age of 40 is allowed to participate. The 41-year old revealed she \u2018could not digest,\u2019 the poor performance at the event. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI felt bad from the inside, there was no progress. The Paris Olympics was disappointing, all the boxers were washed out. I could not digest their performance and just kept thinking \u2018agar mai jaati to\u2019 (If I was there instead). I can still fight better than these girls, performance wise, but could not participate due to the age limit. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI am still training, still concerned about my fitness. I am confident that still no one could touch me for one or two rounds. That is the spirit. The current boxers don\u2019t have confidence and you could see it. I felt pain as I kept thinking why is there an age limit on only boxing?I still have that hunger, my dream and Olympic goal is still aching,\u201d said Mary during a special address at the second edition of the Indian Gaming Convention (IGC). <\/p>\r\n\r\n
