if I remember well, the boxers must have a limited number of pro fights under their belt to enter the Olympic pathway.

 

I'm sure it was between 10 and 15 max (with no title fights) when they opened to the pros in 2016, but tbh I don't know if the limitation is still in place or it's been removed. 

This has been removed after 2012. One of the competitors in 2016  was Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam who had 26 pro fights and held a world title before he returned to the Olympics

 

However some of the professional boxing organizations will ban boxers who compete at the Olympics for getting a world ranking.

Basically it's very complicated...

So if i want to nominate someone like Kliment Kolesnikov, i should do it in the non-olympic category?

All swimmers are eligible for the main categories, unless they're finswimmers

Similar question - baseball players who play in the US major leagues? Olympic or non-Olympic?

Baseball is not currently Olympic anymore, same for Karate.

There isn't a category for mixed teams, as they are very few (and sometimes only "made up" for a competition). Individual athletes are eligible, though.

[OlympicsFan 860]

I tried to make a list with eligible junior athletes (born in 2004 or later) who won an individual medal at the winter olympics or at 2022 summer world championships:

- Su Yiming (snowboard)

- Kokomo Murase (snowboard)

- Rikuto Tamai (diving)

- Chen Yuxi (diving)

- Quan Hongchan (diving)

- Claire Curzan (swimming)

- Katie Grimes (swimming)

- Leah Hayes (swimming)

- Benedetta Pilato (swimming)

- David Popovici (swimming)

- Summer McIntosh (swimming)

- Mollie O'Callaghan (swimming)

- Erriyon Knighton (athletics)

- Wei Xiaoyuan (artistic gymnastics)

- Hazuki Watanabe (artistic gymnastics)

- Shoko Miyata (artistic gymnastics)

- Jessica Gadirova (artistic gymnastics)

- Sarah Chaari (taekwondo)

I entered it in "male team", altough is not a really male team. 
Anyway, deserves an award or at minimum a nomination.
