(Central News Agency reporter Li Jian-chong, Nagoya, 24th) The Nagoya Asian Games will open on September 19th. The boxing venue is 50 minutes away by car from the athletes' hotel, which is responsible for winning medals. To prevent athletes from traveling back and forth, coach Tseng Tzu-chiang borrowed a boxing gym near the hotel through a Japanese friend, making it convenient for pre-match training.
The Asian Games boxing venue is located at Nishio City General Gymnasium. However, there are not enough hotels in the local area, so the organizing committee arranged the athletes' hotel in a hot spring hotel 50 minutes away by car from the venue.
Due to event regulations, athletes who are not competing on the day cannot use the venue's warm-up area, and the journey is long. Therefore, Lin Yu-ting's coach, Tseng Tzu-chiang, sought help from a Japanese coach and borrowed a private boxing gym less than 10 minutes from the hotel.
Tseng Tzu-chiang stated in an interview with the media that this boxing gym was originally used for training professional boxers. “We are very grateful for the help of the Japanese coach, which allowed us to solve the problem of pre-match training.”
Tseng Tzu-chiang analyzed that in addition to time restrictions, the warm-up area at the venue is used by many people, making it easy to accidentally get injured, and the smell of many people is not pleasant. Therefore, he decided to continue the past model of renting a boxing gym.
Although the boxing gym is not large, with only one practice ring, it has showers, toilets, and even a single-person sauna, all of which can meet the athletes' needs.
Tseng Tzu-chiang pointed out that another very important reason for wanting to rent this boxing gym is that tactical and strategic simulations are needed during pre-match training. At this time, more concentration is required, and it can also avoid opponents from seeing their fighting style and tactics. (Editor: Guan Zhong-wei) 1150424
