Boxing coach Saidov sets ambitious Olympic target. [Newspaper] (2021)



Abstract

KUALA LUMPUR: National boxing coach Rustam Saidov believes it is not impossible for Malaysia to produce an Olympic medallist in the sport. Rustam, who took charge at the start of the year, said Malaysia has a promising crop of youngsters coming up the ranks, who have the potential to go far if groomed accordingly. The Uzbekistan-born is no stranger to success in the ring as he is a former Olympic bronze medallist, a two-time Asian Games gold medallist and a three-time Asian champion. "It doesn't have to take 10 years," said Rustam when asked how long it would take Malaysia to produce an Olympic medallist.
