BEIJING, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) — Sixteen teams of about 80 young athletes from China, Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan gathered in Harbin, the capital of Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, to participate in the first Guest Youth Boxing Tournament at the China-SCO Ice and Snow Sports Demonstration Zone, which kicked off on Saturday.
According to local media, this is the first boxing competition held in Harbin under the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization). It is being organized by the Heilongjiang Provincial Sports Administration, the Harbin City Sports Administration, and the Heilongjiang Provincial Sports, Chess, and Card Games Administration Center.
The competitions are held in strict accordance with the latest judging and game rules of the International Boxing Federation, in the appropriate weight categories and using an electronic scoring system on a 10-point scale.
This tournament serves as a valuable platform for young athletes to gain experience in international competition, coaches to exchange training methods, and people from different countries to strengthen mutual friendship, noted Vyacheslav Yanovsky, head coach of the Primorsky Krai Boxing Federation and 1988 Olympic boxing champion, speaking on behalf of the international teams at the tournament's opening ceremony.
