China's women boxers have achieved a historic milestone at the Paris Olympics, securing their first gold medals in a sport that was once banned under Mao Zedong. The team has won three golds in three days, with Chang Yuan winning the 54kg crown and Wu Yu clinching the 50kg title, while Li Qian is set to compete for a third gold in the 75kg category. Wu's victory was marked by controversy, as she faced criticism for her tactics during a match against Turkey's Buse Naz Cakiroglu. This success reflects years of training and preparation, positioning China as the most successful women's boxing team at the Games with two silvers as well. Wu, a military sergeant, has been compared to renowned male boxer Zou Shiming, indicating a significant rise in women's boxing in China. The achievements in Paris highlight a transformative change in the country's approach to women's sports, emphasizing empowerment and success.
