duineeile 5 Posted May 29 #201 Share Posted May 29 Aidan Walsh does the business against 🇺🇦 to progress to the quarter finals, one fight away from an Olympic quota. There's 5 quotas available at 71kg so I presume box-offs between the losing quarter finalists to determine the last Olympic place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indian guy failed a doping test so a new spot was freed up. Tough one again for Aidan coming up but he’s given himself a great chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Indian that got suspended was Parveen their W57kg boxer and that quota got reallocated to Turdibekova who was the boxer she had beaten to win that quota.

Ogreman 355 Posted May 29 #205 Share Posted May 29 1 hour ago, dodge said: Jaysus. I was way off there. Cheers No worries, You should see some of my predictions. Literally the exact opposite of whatever I said has happened in a few brackets. Also, meant to post this earlier this week but with the way swimming qualifications work we should get reallocated the W4*100 free relay before we have to select our squad and as such have 6 relay quotas to work with so if we are smart about it we should be able to select our entire Men's 4*100 medley squad and then just Grace Davison and Victoria Catterson for the womens relays. Mcsharry should be able to swim that 4*100 free and is much faster than Erin Riordan anyway so there shouldn't be any issues there and then we won't have to use Fannon in the mens medley relay or play some very risky game like not selecting Conor Ferguson and just assuming he gets an invitation based off his OCT.

dodge 1,024 Posted May 30 #206 Share Posted May 30 No Olympics for Kelyn Cassidy. Lost another split decision today. On the back foot after he lost the first round on all cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duineeile 5 Posted May 30 #207 Share Posted May 30 That's a disappointing result for Cassidy, as he could possibly have been our best medal hope on the mens side had he made it. Up against a World medallist today, he hasn't had much luck with draws and losing 3-2 split decisions in all three qualification tournaments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duineeile 5 Posted May 31 #210 Share Posted May 31 Aidan Walsh beaten 4-1, point deductions in both the 2nd and 3rd rounds ruining his chances after claiming the first on all 5 cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
