Ran Jun-Xian (冉俊賢) won Taiwan’s first bronze medal in the World Youth Boxing Championships, while Lin Yu-Ting (林郁婷) won the country’s first gold medal in the AIBA Women’s Youth World Boxing Championships.

Between them they have won a series of victories in world championships. This is a result of Taiwan’s training program for potential athletes promoted by the Sports Administration, Ministry of Education.
