Sangwan qualify for London Olympics 2012 . Sumit Sangwan struck gold on
Thursday to round off a brilliant performance by India in the Asian
Olympic Qualifiers in Astana, Kazakhstan where the country bagged three
London tickets to make it an unprecedented seven-strong contingent for
the quadrennial extravaganza. The 19-year-old Sumit (81kg) beat
Tajikistan's Dzhakon Qurbanov 14-9 to bag his maiden senior
international gold in his debut event. Besides these two, Vijender Singh
(75kg) also booked a London berth by making the semifinals of the last
qualifiers for the July-August mega-event. Four Indian boxers -- L
Devendro Singh (49kg), Jai Bhagwan (60kg), Manoj Kumar (64kg) and Vikas

World Championship.
