Going over that moment in the ring once again she recalls, "I was completely stunned when they announced Jina as the winner. I couldn't believe my ears. I just stood there dumbfounded thinking they had just made a terrible mistake and would soon realise and rectify it. But nothing of the sort happened." It was only when her husband, who was watching from the gallery, came down to the ring and shouted at the judges that Sarita says she came "to my senses and realised that the match had been fixed.
It was then I realised I had been cheated of a medal I deserved. What shocked me the most was the completely shameless and blatant way in which they went about ruling it a completely one-sided match without extending the courtesy of awarding me a single point despite the fact that I fought hard in the ring."
