After coach’s life was likely saved backstage, Uzbekistan dominates Olympic boxing tournament
Uzbekistan's beloved head boxing coach was revived from apparent cardiac arrest Thursday by two members of Britain's training staff after celebrating his team's first gold medal of the Paris Olympics, his fighters confirmed Saturday night. The Uzbek team went on to win five golds — more than any Olympic team in the last 20 years — in tribute to Tulkin Kilichev, who is recovering in a Paris hospital. Kilichev fell ill backstage after flyweight Hasanboy Dusmatov won Uzbekistan's first gold medal Thursday.
