About me / Bio:
Payao Poontarat was a Thai boxer who made history by winning the bronze medal in the men's Light flyweight category at the 1976 Summer Olympics, becoming the first Thai athlete to win an Olympic medal. Born in Bang Sapan, he rose from humble beginnings, selling flowers in Pattaya to support his family. His boxing career was marked by significant victories, including defeating the 1972 Olympic gold medalist György Gedó. After the 1980 Olympics boycott, he turned professional, winning the WBC super flyweight world championship. Later, he served as a member of the House of Representatives in Thailand. His life was cut short by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but his legacy lives on in the world of sports.
