With just five entrants, she received a bye into the semis, and Commonwealth boxing rules guarantee bronze to both losing semi-finalists. Her coach and father, Badi Taafaki, said the medal will be celebrated at home and used to highlight the climate emergency facing Tuvalu. Commonwealth Games (boxing): Lovlina Borgohain then advanced to the final after a dominant 5-0 semi-final win over Taafaki, but later settled for silver after a 4-1 split decision loss to Australia’s Emma-Sue Greentree.

Schengen Entry Rules: Spain says only Mauritius and Seychelles qualify for visa-free short stays for African travellers under standard Schengen rules.
