Boxing
China
Age: 27
Mao Zedong may have banned boxing, but now Beijing is hoping that the sport and its resident golden boy, Zou Shiming will bring glory to China. It looks like Zou has a good chance of winning. A native of hardscrabble Guizhou Province in China's far southwest, Zou was originally deemed, by the scientific standards that regulate Chinese sports, to have an insufficient arm length-to-height ratio for boxing. Zou punched his way to spot on his school team anyway. Now 27, Zou has since developed a characteristic, lightning-fast fighting style that helps him rack up points with rapid-fire jabs while keeping just out the reach of opponents. So far, the 5' 7" Zou has done a good job reestablishing China's presence in boxing. He's the first Chinese boxer to win the World Boxing Championship, the highest competition for amateurs, a feat he's accomplished twice. The 106-lb. light flyweight won China's first Olympic boxing medal, a bronze, at Athens in 2004; bigger things are expected in Beijing.

邹市明赢得第一枚奥运拳击奖牌
项目：拳击 年龄：27岁
毛泽东可能会对拳击下禁令，但如今的北京，对这项运动及它的本土金牌得主邹市明却充满了期待。
作为中国西南偏远地区——贵州省的本土居民，邹市明的胳膊长度和身高比例，以科学的拳击手标准来衡量，条件并不算好。但他通过努力，最终在校队里脱颖而出，进入国家队。
邹市明出手如闪电般。这种风格使得他多以游动作战为主，以得点为目的。在主动向对方进攻后，他总是可以迅速撤退以瓦解对手的跟进反击。在2004年的雅典奥运会男子48公斤级比赛中，邹市明获得铜牌，为中国赢得了第一枚奥运拳击奖牌。
