Indian boxer Laishram Sarita Devi lost a highly controversial semifinal bout against eventual silver medalist Park Jin-a of South Korea. Despite what many believed was a better performance by Sarita Devi, all three ringside judges ruled in favor of her opponent, leading to a 0–3 decision. The decision, which drew huge criticism, left Sarita Devi in a state of shock and she was seen weeping inconsolably. Sarita Devi stunned officials and spectators by refusing to accept the bronze medal during the medal ceremony.[1] Devi initially took her bronze medal and placed it around Park Jin-a's neck. After reluctantly receiving her medal back from Park Jin-a, Devi left the medal on the podium after the conclusion of the ceremony.[2]
