After a week of fierce battle, as of August 2, only 2 of the 6 participating team members have not been eliminated, namely the women's 75kg Li Qian and the women's 69kg kg Gu Hong. They have all entered the top 4 of their respective levels to ensure that they have 2 medals. Three male boxers, Hu Jianguan (flyweight), Chen Daxiang (light heavyweight), and Tuohe-Talbeke (middleweight) all stopped in the quarterfinals 16, while female boxer Chang Yuan (flyweight) stopped in the quarterfinals 8.
In the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Chinese Olympic boxing team won a total of 4 medals, 1 silver and 3 bronzes. The silver medal is the female boxer Yin Junhua, and the bronze medal winners are Li Qian, , Ren Cancan and Hu Jianguan. Three of these 4 medals come from women, which shows that the Chinese boxing team is currently in a strong and yang. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese boxing team has only locked in 2021, which is not as good as the 2016 Rio Olympics in total. However, these two people have a great chance to win the gold medal, and the gold content may not be worse than in 2016.

31-year-old Li Qian performed quite stably in this Olympics, and defeated her opponent 5-0 in the 16-to-8 and 8-to-4 matches. After the experience of the Rio Olympics, Li Qian is now much more mature than before, not only at the technical level, but also at the psychological level. She can be calm and calm on the court. In 2018, Li Qianyong, who is 1.80 meters tall, won the women's 75kg gold medal in the World Boxing Championship and was named "The Best Women's Boxer of the Year" by Asian Boxing Federation. In 2019, Li Qian won the gold medal in the Asian Boxing Championship. In March 2020, Li Qian won the championship in the final of the Asian-Area Boxing Qualification Championship at the Tokyo Olympics. This time, Li Qian is likely to win the women's 75kg gold medal in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, and this is also his last chance to win the Olympic gold medal.
32-year-old Gu Hong also performed very strongly at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Like Li Qian, she defeated her opponents 5-0 in 16 and 8-4 in the matches. Gu Hong, who is also 1.80 meters tall, won the silver medal in the 2018 World Boxing Championships. At that time, she lost to , Chinese Taipei boxer Chen Nianqin with a controversial score of 2-3. In 2019, the two met again in the Asian Boxing Championship final. This time, Gu Hong defeated Chen Nianqin 3-2, won the gold medal, and successfully took revenge. In March 2020, the two met again in the final of the Tokyo Olympics Asian Boxing Qualification Championship. Tani Hong won the victory 3-2 again and won the championship of the Tokyo Olympics Asian Qualification Championship.
Compared with the other 4 people participating this time, Li Qian and Gu Hong's results and experience are obviously better. They are both veterans and mainstays of the Chinese boxing team. This time they shoulder the heavy responsibility of winning gold in the Chinese Olympic boxing. Previously, only Zou Shiming and Zhang Xiaoping won the Olympic gold medals, and the number of gold medals for women's boxing in is still zero. I hope Li Qian and Gu Hong won the gold medal together in this Olympics, setting a new historical record.
