RIO DE JANEIRO -- Nicola Adams has spent the last four years basking in the glory of her historic triumph in London.The first woman to win an Olympic boxing title has worked hard in the gym but has also been caught up with talk of an acting career, setting her sights as high as Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead.After a bye to the quarterfinal here, she completed a medal-guaranteeing win against Ukraines Tetyana Kob on Tuesday but looked like she needed to sharpen her fighting focus a little.For Mo Farah to fall over and still get up to win, that just shows true grit and determination, but thats what it takes to be a true champion, Adams said. Even when youre down youve got to find a way to get back up to win that medal.Adams wasnt actually down that much in her quarterfinal, winning three of her four rounds against an experienced opponent, but she will have to be better next time out.She faces Ren Cancan in the semifinals on Thursday, the Chinese great who beat Adams in the 2010 and 2012 world championships finals but came off second best in the Olympic final in London.I was a little bit off with ring rust, but Ive got the first fight out of the way and [will be better] when I fight in the semis, Adams said. Ive been here nearly four weeks and Ive been quite anxious to get in there and perform. Its nice to get the first one out of the way.A medal means everything to me. I came here for a medal, but you know me -- I always want the gold so Ill be aiming for that.Adams said she felt that as the defending champion she has a target on her back that makes life a little tougher. However, if she can defend her crown she would become the first Briton to win two Olympic titles since London policeman Harry Mallin won middleweight gold in 1920 and 1924.After Farahs fall and rise on the track and the ever-lengthening list of firsts for Team GB at these Games, it would be unwise to back against her.Custom Miami Marlins Nike Jerseys .
