Advancing to the medal round, along with Mary Kom, were Shiksha (54kg) and Priyanka Chaudhary (60kg). Mary Kom, a five-time world champion and an Olympic bronze-medallist, defeated Chinese Taipei's Meng-Chieh Pin in a split verdict in the quarterfinals to make the last four stage of the light flyweight (48kg) category. Mary Kom, 34, has won four gold and a silver medal in her five previous appearances at the event, will face Japan's Tsubasa Komura in the semifinals. The medal assured on Saturday is Mary Kom's first in more than a year and a massive confidence-booster for the boxer, who had missed Olympic qualification last year.
