Huh??? So there were 248 quotas originally in boxing. IOC then allocated two refugee quotas which in theory don't count towards the 248. So when they announced Rady Gramane  had been allocated a universality quota that originally didn't exist my assumption had been that because Cindy Ngamba was effectively occupying two quotas simultaneously ie. a refugee quota and an actual quota, there was a spare quota which they seeemingly had allocated as a universality quota.

 

Seems like they may have changed their mind on that but this has nothing to do with Cindy Ngamba's abilities just the number of quotas they have allocated.

I understand, your reasoning could obviously be applied by IOC and Boxing WG.  But not necessarily.

 

Cindy earned a normal quota and I think she was just incorporated into the Refugee Team as she has no other NOC.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Pretty sure they added a universality quota when Cindy Ngamba  qualified directly and the other refugee athlete Omid Ahmadisafa  is not included in this document either so it looks like despite calling it a final quota allocation they haven't added the refugee quotas yet. It's a curious one but   Rady Gramane 75kg should still be in.

Expand  

Don't see why they would have added a new quota, as she won her quota in a competitive fashion and is a competitive athlete.

Looks like lost their tripartie quota in the 75kg (which originally was an event without a tripartie spot). I suspect they just corrected it.

Wow!!! I think this is true.

Olympic seeding is out. Draw was random for the continental champions with either Africa or Oceania gauranteed to be seeded 5th so whether a boxer is seeded 1st 3rd or 4th doesn't matter, what does matter is the boxer that is opposite them in a hypothethical quarter final and semi final although given the quality of unseeded boxers in most of these divisions we won't see that many of these potential matchups. Silver medallists from Europe, Africa and Asia randomly seeded 6th, 7th or 8th. In some of these weightclasses like M71kg all being seeded really does is gaurantee you a bye into the last 16.

Expand  

So, just to be clear, this is the final seeding?

1-8
4-5
3-6
2-7

According to this video http://boxing.athlete365.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Official-Draw-and-Seeding-procedure_L_sub_en.mp4

I spent a while going down a rabbit hole of trying to figure this out a couple of months ago and I think my conclusion was that they just haven't announced it either way yet although that may have since changed.

They haven't seeded any of the qualification tournaments so maybe they just don't although that would gaurantee some very strange medals. My guess is they probably do include seeds and just end up seeding the European/ Asian and American champions along with either the African or Oceanian champion but I don't really have anything to base that on.

Expand  

The 4 first seeds will be the continental champions, according to a source - not sure if its true or not, but

How can brazil and uzbekistan win 10 qota and cuba 4 

Expand  

Brazil is doing a very serious job in boxing since late 2000s at least, probably one of the best examples of PanAm Games and OG legacy for sport.

 

And Cuba... well, they are having many issues with sports, not only boxing.

Of course, but as an Irish Olympics fan we understand all oo well this process of BBC adoption!

Expand  

I thought that Andy Murray said it once he was British when he would win and Scottish when he would lose, but I guess it's a urban myth?

Now all tha fun of digging into Federation's twitter, going through google translate and refreshing this page ad eternum is over!

 

So sad that the bouts will be live streaming from tomorrow....

Men's 63.5Kg -  Ismail Umar def.  Saparmyrat Odajev - Not 100% sure about this one. Based on Google translate, the Finnish federation went big on their rhetoric "Oh the scattered sound of scattered voices!! A more detailed result will be updated ASAP. But the name comes to mind Ismail Umar" That doesn't sound like a loss to me.

Why can't the federations just post the score? 

[Pasolini 264]

Men's 71kg- Wanderson de Oliveira 5x0 Wendel Stanley

 

Difficult bout against Walsh now, probably the most important one from that quarter.

I just wish that the  NOC would do like  used to do and rejects those quotas that were won too easily.

Expand  

they don't do this anymore. As in BMX cycling, where a guy from RSA was the last at World Championships and guaranteed a quota to Paris.

[Pasolini 264]

On the 66kg Marissa Williamson is also on the final, but not really sure who will take the silver medal lol

[Pasolini 264]

Sometimes I think about providing Olympic consulting to small nations in the Pacific and Africa.

 

Not sure if they are interested, but if they properly read Olympic Qualification Documents they could even double up their number of athletes...

[Pasolini 264]

wow, priceless!!! amazing <3
