2014 के एशियाई खेलों में पदक समारोह में भाग लेने से इनकार करने पर किस भारतीय मुक्केबाज को दंडित किया गया था?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Sarita Devi / सरिता देवी
Explanation / व्याख्या
During the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, Sarita Devi lost the semifinal bout in a controversial decision. She felt the judging was unfair and protested by refusing to wear the bronze medal during the medal ceremony and placing it around the neck of the South Korean boxer who had been declared the winner.
2014 के इंचियोन एशियाई खेलों में सरिता देवी सेमीफाइनल मुकाबले में विवादास्पद निर्णय से हार गई थीं। उन्होंने निर्णय को अन्यायपूर्ण मानते हुए पदक समारोह में कांस्य पदक पहनने से इनकार कर दिया और इसे विजेता घोषित दक्षिण कोरियाई मुक्केबाज के गले में डाल दिया।
Because of this protest, she was provisionally suspended and fined by the boxing authorities.
इस विरोध के कारण उन्हें अस्थायी निलंबन और जुर्माना झेलना पड़ा।
