At 23:06 local time on the 6th, the women's boxing 60kg final of the Paris Olympics started in the night, and it was two veterans who broke into the final: 33-year-old Chinese player Yang Wenlu and 34-year-old Ireland Harrington · Kelly
Compared with the latter's 2020 Tokyo Olympics women's boxing 60kg champion, Yang Wenlu is only participating in the Olympics for the first time, facing this strong opponent, Yang Wenlu finally defeated the Chinese women's boxing by points, and the moment of ushering in the first Olympic gold medal can only be postponed (see >>> for details)
Since the establishment of the women's boxing event at the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Chinese women's boxing team has won seven Olympic medals, ranking first among all teams, but no Olympic gold medal has been recorded so far
Although she failed to win the long-awaited gold medal for the Chinese women's boxing team, Yang Wenlu believes that the Chinese women's boxing team, which has long been a world powerhouse, will definitely be able to pierce the last layer of window paper at this Olympic Games and complete its long-cherished wish to win gold
Yang Wenlu was 17 years old because his uncle was a boxing coach because he began to learn boxing, Yang Wenlu started too late, and her growth rate was very slow in the early days of learning boxing, which once made her have the intention of giving up, but thinking that this path was chosen by herself, and Yang Wenlu before the age of 17 was a rebellious teenager who did not study well and was naughty in the eyes of her family, at this time she hoped that she could make some achievements in something, so Yang Wenlu chose to persevere
When the time came to 2011, 20-year-old Yang Wenlu finally won the first international boxing medal in her life, which made her more firm in her belief, in 2014, Yang Wenlu won the championship for the first time in the national competition, and then entered the ranks of the top female boxers in China, but because of her own lack of strength, Yang Wenlu hit the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games unsuccessfully, until this time to qualify for the Paris Olympics
In the game on the 6th local time, facing the defending champion and Ireland star Harrington · Kelly, Yang Wenlu played bravely and strategically, but Harrington · Kelly was still slightly better, and Yang Wenlu finally lost 1:4 points to win a silver medal
"Won a silver medal,
I'm very happy.
When I go back, I'm going to sum up the game well.
Then slowly move on to the next stage. ”
