Paris 2024 boxing: All results, as People’s Republic of China’s Li Qian completes triple crown with golden victory in women’s 75kg

People’s Republic of China’s Li Qian solidified her name in the history books after completing a historic triple crown with a gold medal in the women’s 75kg final at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 on Saturday, 10 August.

The victory comes on the heels of a silver medal at Tokyo 2020 and bronze from Rio 2016, making her the first and only woman in the sport to ever make it onto an Olympic podium at three consecutive Games.

“I took the fights step by step,” Li said after her match.

“But it has always been my dream to get a gold medal and it has finally come true … I was just so proud for my country when I saw the flag.”

Going in as a former world champion and the top seeded boxer in her category, Li was the heavy favourite to win gold, but Panama’s Atheyna Bylon wasn’t going to make it easy for her in the final, putting up a tough fight but eventually falling to Li 4-1.

Though Bylon had to settle for the silver medal, she still accomplished a major feat in becoming Panama’s first ever woman to medal at an Olympic Games.

“It’s not what I wanted, but I got a medal so I’m happy,” she said after the match.

“It’s historic, so I have to be delighted with that … I am sure it will be a great reception when I get back to Panama, even if it’s not gold I'm taking home.”

On 8 August, Australia’s Caitlin Parker and IOC Refugee Olympic Team’s Cindy Ngumba clinched the bronze medals after falling to Li and Bylon in the semifinals, respectively.
