Vietnamese boxer wins silver at world boxing championship

Before the match, Zareen was considered the great hope for the host to secure the championship title. 

She was the defending champion in the 52kg class before moving down to the 50kg weight category.

The first round saw Zareen, who received great cheers from home spectators, launch many quality right-handed punches toward Tam.

The host boxer received five 10-point markings from judges, while the visiting fighter got five 9-point markings, losing the round.

In the next two rounds, Tam maintained her attacking tactic, but it made no difference. 

Meanwhile, Zareen proved to be an experienced fighter when she kept distance and maintained a moderate attacking tempo, securing a 5-0 win in the end.

The Indian boxer won a gold medal and a bonus of US$100,000 while Tam bagged a silver medal and $50,000.

Despite her loss, Tam has made history as the first Vietnamese boxer to reach the final of a world boxing tournament.

The Vietnamese fighter will fly home to prepare for the 2023 Southeast Asian Games, to be held in Cambodia in May, and the delayed 2022 Asian Games, scheduled to take place in China in September. 

Her goal is to win a ticket to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from July 26 to August 11 next year.

Buzz, Bump, Goal! Drone Football Takes Center Stage at CES

Five red drones are competing against five blue drones in a thrilling drone soccer match. Controlling the drones from outside the playing field ensures safety for all. The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field. Their mission: to score goals by maneuvering a drone through the opposing team’s “donut,” a hoop suspended 3.5 meters in the air that lights up when a goal is achieved. Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago.

This is the fourth time that Vietnam have qualified for the AFF Championship final. Thanks to Nguyen Tien Linh’s double, Vietnam defeated Indonesia 2-0 after two legs as both teams had drawn 0-0 in Central Jakarta last Friday. The Vietnamese striker put his team ahead quite early with a volley in the third minute before earning his second to double the lead with a header in the 48th minute.

The players of Shin Tae Young, who had taken to Instagram to personally criticize three rough tackles by Vietnam’s left-back Doan Van Hau on Sunday, tried to hit back but their finishes either lacked accuracy or failed to beat Vietnamese goalkeeper Dang Van Lam. Vietnam wrapped up a 2-0 victory on aggregate to set up the finale against the winners...
