Vijender Kumar won India the third medal at Beijing Olympics. He won a bronze medal in 75 kg Middle Weight boxing category today. He was assured a medal by qualifying for the semi-finals. But unfortunately he went down to Cuban boxer Emilio Correa in the semi-final bout. He is the first boxer to get a medal for India in the Olympics. Congrats to Vijender! This is India's best ever medal haul at the Olympics with 1 gold and 2 bronze medals. Previous best was 1 gold and 1 bronze at 1952 Helsinki Olympics.
