In Olympics Various weight categories are mixed into one. That's why there are controversies that whi h boxer should be sent for Qualification trials. MayKom is in no mood for retirement. There is an age limit I think of 40 in amateur boxing. So now MaryKom will be forced to leave her place for other boxers
When the federation decided to send Mary Kom for the Olympic qualifiers on the back of her bronze-winning show at the world championships, Zareen wrote to then Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju demanding a "fair chance." But a furious Mary Kom had asked 'Who is Nikhat Zareen'? "I have been inspired by Mary Kom since I was a teenager. The best way I can do justice to this inspiration was to strive to be as great a boxer as her. And Mary Kom is too big a legend in sport to need to hide from the competition and not actually defend her Olympic qualification," she had said.
Ms Zareen's request was heeded and a trial was announced much to Mary Kom's displeasure, who claimed she was always ready for a trial and was doing what the BFI said but the youngster had dragged her name everywhere.
The much-anticipated bout, however, turned out to be a one-sided affair as Nikhat Zareen lost 1-9 to Mary Kom. And to top it, there was no customary handshake at the end and the senior pro also rebuffed an attempted hug from her younger rival, leaving her in tears.

Everyone will learn & evolve with experience and our genius is no exception for this.
Public is not capable of understanding sarcasm or humour. Joke is on them if they feel offended

I still remember, Mary Kom behavior is disgusting after winning against Nikhat.
