I see the 63kg division (named light in the Olympic qualification system and team delegations handbook) has become light welter and light in yesterday's documents (respective examples here and here). What's that about?

 

Had another look and it appears they've called the 57kg division bantam and feather as well. :facepalm: (The latter is the current Olympic name)

I don't know if it's still the same but there used to be a funny rule in AIBA, if you lose a match by KO, you can't participate for something 6 months (or 3 ? can't remember)   well at least

I know why it happened...it's because there's a Slovak losing his bout... it's a plot by our friend @hckosice

This is why every division in every sport with weight classes should just be called by it's weight rather than some sort of confusing name like bantam, feather or welter.

Indian Perspective for these games

 

 

Our Tokyo Prospects are mainly on 3 sports - Shooting , Boxing and Wrestling 

 

 

Shooting has seen a spectacular improvement in the last couple of years , so to boxing now let us see how they do 

 

Mens Boxing has been a bugbear for us - they are Good but not great -   tend to have 4-5 Quarter finalists and then a spectacular fall - Just 0-1 in the semis and then no one in the Finals ( we have never won a gold or silver at the world champs ) , is it a defeatist attitude , poor last mile fine tuning or just that we are not an AIBA " favored " nation I never understood ............

 

So I am looking at this squad to do better .......

 

1. The squad is a very new look squad with a lot of the usual boxers - Shiva , Manoj , Vikas etc not there , I think that is positive sign both from a selection angle and that there is new blood coming in 

 

2. We have 3 seeded Boxers with Amit seeded second as the highest so that is again positive

 

 

Hoping for at least 2 medals and hopefully one boxer in the finals

it's because those 2 weights have been created by merging the old bantam+feather (it was 54 and 57) and the old Lightweights+light welterweights (it was 60 and 64) to cut from 10 to 8 the total number of weight classes...

therefore, as they don't have an official name for the new classes, there's some confusion within the media, calling the new weights with one or the other old name indifferently...

that's why I agree at 100% with @heywoodu...they should just name them by their actual weight limit and stop...:evil::pope:

I mean, the names are absolutely relative...for instance, to me 91kg are small men, just like flyweights :yikes::rofl::facepalm:

And I'm a little used to pro boxing, where at least one thing is simple: "Oh, heavyweights, the heaviest guys, how easy :)"

 

Along comes amateur boxing: "No, wait, we have heavier guys than the heaviest guys, super heavyweights!"

 

Uuugh. I'm waiting for the mega super heavyweights.

      Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything

      Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on

      Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week

      The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.

      Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
