#4 Mary Kom - Women's 45-48kg Boxing
Everyone knew that MC Mary Kom had an easy path to the gold medal in the 45-48 kg class as there were only eight competitors who were young and fairly inexperienced. The Indian was contesting against herself, hoping to prove that even at 35, the mother of three still had the drive and desire to win medals.
The Commonwealth Games medal was the only one missing from her trophy cabinet. Now that the anomaly has been set right, can she continue till 2020?
She wants to add gold to her bronze medal from 2012 but it will be an uphill task. However, when it comes to Mary Kom, not many would like to bet against her.
