In the quest for Olympic medals, the Chinese national boxing team is closely united around one goal -- to compete to their utmost for national glory. One boxer, Tohtarbek Tanglathan, is seen as a dark horse for Team China. He grew up in a pastoral area, and the Kazak tradition of worshiping heroes bonded him to boxing from a very young age.

At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Tohtarbek has his eye on a gold medal. "I started my sports journey as an ethnic minority athlete. Representing China at the Games and standing on the top podium --I often picture this moment in my mind and it makes me genuinely excited," he said.

In addition to ethnic minority boxers, the Chinese national team also features coaches from ethnic minority backgrounds. Hadabateer, a Mongolian coach for the Chinese women's national boxing team, is helping the boxers to realize their dream of winning the trophy, among whom include Li Qian and other boxers. As a previous champion of the Asian Games, the ex-boxer hopes to realize his unfulfilled dream of becoming an Olympic champion by training superb boxers.

The Chinese national boxing team is comprised of a large number of ethnic minority athletes including Uygurs, Kazaks, Mongols and others.

"Boxing is a sport closely related to ethnic minority groups because they are born with courage and uprightness in their blood," said Hadabateer.

"Our greatest motivation is the sense of responsibility. We compete to win glory for our country so we must have the spirit of never quitting and trying to achieve the top world level," said Zhang Chuanliang, the head coach of Chinese national boxing team.
