| Interviewer: | India managed just 6 medals in the 2012 Olympics even though we are a nation of 1.3 billion people. Where do you think a change is required to help us win medals that are proportionate with our population? |
| Mary Kom: | I think more and more people should take up sports as a full-time career if we want more gold medals. More corporates should come in and sponsor players so that the players don't have any financial pressure and can just focus on their games. |
| Interviewer: | Do you think interest in boxing in India will ever go beyond the Olympics? |
| Mary Kom: | Yes, I am sure that in a few years boxing will be very popular among everyone in India, all year round. |
| Interviewer: | How aware are Indian women of their nutritional requirements? Diet and nutrition must've been key factor in your conditioning for the Olympics. Do you think nutrition is a neglected area in Indian sports? |
| Mary Kom: | The awareness is growing now among female athletes when it comes to nutritional requirements. Nutrition has definitely been a neglected area in Indian sports. I had to gain 3 kg since I had to fight in the 51 kg event instead of the usual 48 kg that I fight in. So, I had to focus on what to eat. I gained weight by eating the right kind of healthy food rather than bad saturated fats. |
| Interviewer: | How big a role did OGQ play in shaping the boxing scene in India for the better? |
| Mary Kom: | OGQ really played an important part in my success. They helped me out whenever I needed something. They took care of everything, which helped me focus on my boxing and kept me stress-free. |
