  1. 1. Do You want Boxing to be included in the Summer Olympic Games 2020 Programme?

I voted yes. Although a lot of problems affected it, it is not correct to destroy history. In addition, boxing is one of the most popular sport in the world and this cannot be ignored by the Olympic movement. Punishment should be given to the referees and to NOCs which had an active role in the problems of the AIBA, (and to the AIBA leaders), eventually Olympic berths may be reduced as happened for IWF while waiting for things to become better, but still it is not correct to ignore the fair athletes.

I voted yes. But they need to completely change the scoring system, like Figure Skating did.

I remember, in London 2012 maybe, that score was displayed in real time so it was more difficult to ignore what really happened on the ring. Probably just going back to that will make boxing cleaner, although most problem still will have to be solved

No, because the federation is not cooperative whatsoever (unlike IWF for example), as they continue to push the Uzbek mafia boss to become the president. And that's just scraching the surface, so no thanks.

Yes, but a new IF should be established and major reforms need to be implemented. This can’t be done in time for 2020 but should be done for 2024.

In 2000-04-08 the score was displayed in real time, in 2012 after each round. But now the scoring system is completely different.

No.

 

Because corruption is way too deep into AIBA.

Because the results aren't serious 50% of the time.

Because the best boxers don't compete at the olympics and I don't like that in any sport (men's football, Baseball, etc).

    • How wonderful!   I met the national rowing (and beach rowing) coach of EST/LTU/LAT on the way to ice hockey one day, who's Canadian by the way. I also flew home on the same flight as JC Schoonmaker's mom and friends, so we chatted for a bit.
    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
