Egyptian Boxers Yousry Rizk said on Wednesday that that his aim during the upcoming Olympic games is to win 1st medal in almost two decades.

"We were part of a training camp here at the Olympic Center and then we travelled to Lithuania to participate in an international competition where myself and Abdelrahman Orabi won two gold medals. We attended another training camp in Spain for around 21 days and came back here to the Olympic Center where we will stay until this Friday then we will be travelling to Tokyo," he said.

A win for either would be the first in over 15 years for Egypt at an Olympic boxing event.
