Evaluating the athletes, the representative of the coaching board said: "The athletes competed enthusiastically, with high determination, especially the 2 female athletes in the 50kg and 52kg categories who competed excellently, bringing home gold medals for the delegation. However, besides that, the athletes also faced certain limitations in terms of physique and physical strength, especially in the male athletes, which were still limited compared to international athletes."
