Tulika Mann was very close to history When she met Sarah Eglinton of Scotland in the 78+kg final for a gold medal in Judo. But it was not written in her fate that she lost the final and with it the gold medal. Eglinton, who scored the IPPON in the final seconds of the match, won the gold medal. And Tulika had to face the match with some early shido in the very beginning of the match. Tulika was crying while hugging her opponent but she should know that she has made the nation proud with her achievement as winning a silver medal is also a big deal.

The CWG silver medalist was never interested in studies and after passing the 10th standard told her mother that this was not her calling, she started focusing on her judo from there and continued to win medals. “Actually, I am not really good at my studies. After finishing my 10th standard, I told my mother that I do not want to continue further studies as I have big plans in sports. And years have passed and my college (DDU Gorakhpur University) supports me a lot,” she was quoted as saying on fistosports.com.
