Two confirmed reallocations of two Asian games quotas, both related to doping violations.

 

M63.5kg- Chinzorig Baatarsukh :MGL tested positive for an anabolic steroid at Asian games, Quota gets reallocated to beaten semi-finalist Bunjong Sinsiri :THA who Thailand interestingly hadn't selected for the 1st world qualifying tournament although he is definitely a worthy olympian.

 

W57kg- Parveen :IND suspended for a whereabouts violation, Reallocation goes to beaten quarter finalist Sitora Turdibekova :UZB which means Uzbekistan now have ten quotas with a reasonable shot of adding to it next week.

 

Both Mongolia and India will contest the respective weightclasses at the second world olympic qualifier although Mongolia is replacing Baatarsukh with two time Olympic quarter finalist and 2019 world medallist Erdenebat Tsendbaatar :MGL.

 

Also somewhat unrelated but according to an article on the French federation's website, the Olympic draw just like the qualifying tournaments will not be seeded which is gauranteed to lead to some interesting medal winners.

Source for African universality spots

 

W50kg- Margret Tembo :ZAM

W57kg- Marine Camara  :MLI

W66kg- Ivanusa Moreira :CPV

W75kg!!!- Rady Gramane :MOZ

 

M71kg- Tiago Muxanga :MOZ.

 

Additionally according to the Tongan boxing federation's facebook

 

W60kg-Feofaaki Epenisa :TGA.

 

Most notable thing is Rady Gramane because there wasn't orignally a universality quota available at W75kg but clearly one has been created as a consequence of Cindy Ngamba qualifying directly. Zambia, Cape Verde and Mozambique all take universality quotas but at least on the womens side W50kg was the only one with other realistic options with the likes of Haiti and Nepal but perhaps they are covered in the 3 currently unknown quotas. (Having now looked through them I'm dissapointed why this wasn't Susma Tamang :NEP as I don't think Nepal are realistically getting one of these quotas and I thought they had aquitted themseleves well in qualifying.) Tiago Muxanga is a good boxer but there were plenty of other options at M71kg. I was hoping for Nidal Foqahaa :PLE or despite DR Congo already having two quotas I would have loved Steve Kulengeluka :COD to get this spot after being robbed of the African quota. Makes me think they decided on Muxanga and then at a later point had to allocate a quota at W75kg and had no other realistically competitive options other than to give it to Gramane. Then again, while from an Olympic competition standpoint Moreira and Gramane are undisputedely the right options giving Gramane who qualified directly for Tokyo and Ivanusa Moreira who reached winnable quota fights at both of the world qualifying tournaments isn't ideal and I dont love either of them getting the safety net of a universality quota as that shouldn't really be what they exist for even if they do come from underrepresented nations they both had their chances of qualifying and failed plus both countries had qualified boxers for this Olympics.

Anyway speculating on the last couple of spots I would be surprised if Asian bronze medallist Ali Qasim Al Sarray :IRQ didn't get the M63.5kg spot, only other real non African option I can see in that division is Samuel Contreras :ESA (At a stretch possibly Alston Ryan :ANT) but I supect the Americas are getting one universality spot and its probably either Cedrick Belony Duliepre :HAI or Desmond Amsterdam :GUY at M80kg. That would just leave M57kg which could be Allan Oaike :PNG but there are plenty of options.

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
