(BEIJING, November 8) -- "The thing I want to do the most right now is to have a good sleep," China's Olympic boxing hopeful Zou Shiming said after arriving in Beijing.

Zou beat Harry Tanamor of the Philippines to grab the gold in the light flyweight (48 kilogram) division at the World Amateur Boxing Championships on Saturday.

"This game lasted 11 days, and I could only drink a little water and have several pieces of bread every day to maintain my weight."

Zou will recuperate soon enough and gear up for the fight at the 2008 Olympic Games.
