Two more Chinese boxers secured spots at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in Amman, Jordan, yesterday, joining four who had qualified on Sunday.
China’s Hu Jianguan stunned world bronze medalist and fourth seed Saken Bibossinov of Kazakhstan in the men’s 52-kilogram division, becoming the fifth Chinese boxer to qualify for the Olympics. “I was more experienced than my opponent today and I used my speed and flexibility to my advantage. I’m happy to get another chance to go to the Olympics,” he said. Also, former Youth Olympic champion Chang Yuan beat Sumaiya Qosimova of Tajikistan 5-0 to secure her spot. “I can’t stop smiling, and I think I will keep smiling all the way to the hotel,” she said. “This means a lot to me, but I also know that the job is not done.” On Sunday, Li Qian (women’s 75kg), Gu Hong (women’s 69kg), Tanglatihan Erbieke (men’s 75kg) and Chen Daxiang (men’s 81kg) booked their Tokyo 2020 tickets.
