Smile-Worthy Olympic Moments

#34:  Uhm, Thanks?

Chinese boxer Zhao Mingang is cooling off between rounds during the 2016 Rio Olympics in a unique way. But hey, if it works, it works. Men’s boxing has been an Olympic event since 1904 and women’s since 2012. Just like every other boxing event, there are precise rules about weight classes.

The 2021 Tokyo Olympics will have eight separate weight classes – super heavyweight, heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight, and flyweight. Team USA has over 114 Olympic medals in this event, including 50 gold, 24 silver, and 40 bronze!
