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.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.

The words written on the giant hat include sightseeing spots in Can Tho, folk songs, proverbs, poems, and the names of various provinces and cities across the country. She shares that the purpose of her work is to honour the beauty of the fatherland through pieces of calligraphy. Indeed, the giant hat is created from 540 small conical hats which themselves represent the country’s 54 ethnic minority groups. The diametre of the giant hat spans for more than eight metres, with the length from the tip to the brim roughly four meters and the length from the tip of the cone to the ground roughly six metres. The work has 14 rows of conical ha...
