The Chinese fighters won two gold medals and one silver, and in addition to getting the victories, they showed exceptional quality at all times.
In the light flyweight division, Shiming Zou won the gold medal by technical knockout in the second round, when after 19 seconds of the round his opponent, Serdamba Purevdorj from Mongolia, conceded defeat as he had injured his right shoulder.
Zou became the first man to give his country an Olympic boxing gold medal in history.
