New Delhi: She understands the emotion behind L Sarita Devi's tearful protest on the Asian Games podium but MC Mary Kom, who became the first Indian woman boxer to win a gold at the mega-event, said faced with a similar crisis, she would have shown dissent differently.

"I really do not want to comment on it anymore. I feel sad for her, she should have won that semifinal bout. I understand her pain and fully support the issue she raised but personally I would have protested differently though I can't say how. This is my personal thought but I support her," said the Olympic bronze-medallist and five-time world champion.
