Will change the colour of the medal in 2016: Mary Kom

Thank You, Mary Kom: A for effort, B for bronze

MC Mary Kom, the diminutive Indian woman boxer who carried into the Olympic semi-finals the weight of an entire nation's expectations, will bring home a bronze medal. She lost a closely fought bout against World Number 2 Nicola Adams.

The life and times of Magnificent Mary

From a humble background to becoming a bronze medallist at the Olympics, Mary Kom has come a long way. NDTV's Monideepa Banerjie takes an insight into what went into the making of a champion like her. Her father Tonpu, sister Anne and coach Ibomcha talk about Mary in detail. A mother of twins, she also runs an academy now, her own little way of giving back to the society.

The Mary Kom story

If you don't have a streak of anger in you, you can't be a very good boxer - simple but very true words from someone who has become the first Indian female boxer to win an Olympic medal.

Onler Kom, Mary Kom's husband, said he had put his faith in god and in prayers of the Indian people.
