During the first round of the 48 kg semifinals, the six-time world champion hurt himself. At the CWG trials at the Indira Gandhi International Stadium, Nitu of Haryana made it to the finals. Mary won the gold medal in 2018 and lost in the first round. After getting hit a few times, the 39-year-old woman struggled to stay on her feet while holding her left leg.
