RIO DE JANEIRO: Nicola Adams said she wants to inspire more children, especially girls, to get involved in sport after making history by winning a second Olympic boxing title. The 33-year-old Briton was the first woman to win a boxing gold medal at the Games in London four years ago. And on Saturday she became the first Briton since 1924 to win back to back boxing gold medals at the Games. “I’d love to inspire some more kids to get involved in boxing and in sport in general, and hopefully them seeing this again the second time around will inspire some more kids to get involved in sport,” she said. She says that she’s been doing that since her London triumph, in particular amongst girls.
