Lovlina Borgohain is eyeing a third straight summer Olympics but will take one step at a time from here on. Lovlina, who won a bronze at Tokyo Olympics but returned empty-handed from Paris 2024, said Los Angeles 2028 was very much in her plans.

"Tokyo was during COVID times. Paris was a real learning curve. I did my best and have no regrets that I could not win a medal. For every athlete, there are lessons to be learnt and I want to be wiser leading into LA," Lovlina said during an interaction on the sidelines of the ASMITA Women's Under-17 football final at the SAI campus in Guwahati on Sunday afternoon.
