The 2024 Paris Olympics are in full swing, and among many events, the performance of the Chinese boxing team is particularly eye-catching, especially the women's boxing team, which can be described as overwhelming.
As of today (August 5), Beijing time, the 6 players of the boxing women's team except Xu Zichun lost in the eighths of the finals, and the remaining 5 players all entered the semifinals and finals, which means that the Chinese boxing team has locked 5 medals in advance in the Olympic Games, including 54 kg Chang Yuan and 60 kg Yang Wenlu will rush for gold in the final, so among the 5 medals locked, there will be at least 2 silver medals, not to mention Chang Yuan and Yang Wenlu have every hope of winning the gold medal.
At present, it seems that the Chinese boxing team is expected to achieve the best result in the Olympic Games, at least in terms of the total number of medals in any previous edition.
The Chinese boxing team made its debut in the Olympic Games in 1988, but unfortunately as of 2000, it had not won anything in four consecutive Olympic Games, but in the 2004 Athens Olympics, Zou Shiming stood out and opened the way for the rise of Chinese boxing under the banner of the five rings.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese boxing team won 2 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze, which impressed everyone.
In the three Olympic Games from 2012 to 2020, the Chinese boxing team has achieved stable results, with medals in each Olympic Games, and in the last Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese boxing team won two silver medals, all of which came from female players.
Next, the schedule of the Chinese boxing team is as follows:
7 August:
50kg Semifinals – Wu Yu vs Nazim Kizabe (Kazakhstan)
66kg Semifinals - Yang Liu VS Chen Nianqin (Chinese Taipei)
60kg Final – Yang Wenlu vs Kelly Harrington (Ireland)
9 August:
75kg Semifinals – Li Qian vs Caitlin Parker (Australia)
54kg Final – Tsuneen vs Hatis Akbas (Turkey)
At present, Yang Wenlu and Chang Yuan of the Chinese boxing team are expected to rewrite history, that is, to create a record for China to win gold in women's boxing at the Olympic Games, and the remaining three boxers are also expected to break into the final to win the championship. In addition, the Chinese Taipei boxing women's team, the Paris Olympics have also made significant progress, and now Lin Yuting in the 57 kg class, Wu Shiyi in the 60 kg class, and Chen Nianqin in the 66 kg class have all entered the semifinals and have locked up 3 medals.
