MC Mary Kom, the legendary Indian boxer, shed 2 kgs in just 4 hours to qualify for the 48kg category at the 2018 Silesian Open Boxing Tournament in Poland. Jet-lagged and facing disqualification, she skipped for an hour straight to make weight. Her dedication paid off as she clinched her third gold of the year. "I had roughly four hours to shed that or I would have been disqualified," Kom said. The 35-year-old, supported by her husband Onler, remains focused on her sport, eyeing the 2020 Olympics.
