FWIW  have won 15 Olympic medals in men's boxing and all but 4 of them have been 60kg and lower!

 

 

48kg - 2

51kg - 2

52kg - 1

54kg - 3

56kg - 1

60kg - 2

67kg - 1

67kg - 1

75kg - 1

81kg - 1   And here's our team for the European qualifiers     Men 52kg – Flyweight – Brendan Irvine  57kg – Featherweight – Kurt Walker  63kg – Light-welterweight – George Bates  69kg – Welterweight – Aidan Walsh  75kg – Middleweight – Michael Nevin  81kg – Light-heavyweight – Emmett Brennan  91kg – Heavyweight – Kiril Afanasev  91+kg – Super-heavyweight – Dean Gardiner    Women 51kg – Flyweight- Ceire Smith  57kg – Featherweight – Michaela Walsh  60kg – Lightweight – Kellie Harrington  69kg – Welterweight – Christina Desmond  75kg – Middleweight – Aoife O’Rourke

I was thinking that Nevin has been around a long time until I realised I was mixing him up with his cousin John Joe who's more than a decade older and won a silver back in 2012.

Yeah there’s been a few Nevins on the scene

 

With an OK draw I’d expect Nevin and Walker to qualify. Harrington and O’Rourke on the women side

 

others might need a bit of luck

We're also relatively good at lightweight rowing too. Kings of the european little people!

 

meanwhile Carly McNaul has replaced Ceire Smith in the women's 51kg flyweight event

would hope Irvine and Walsh x2 would be close. Think we will ge5 a most 4 men over the two qualifying tournaments but could also get 4 women. We look weak in the men’s heavier weights

Despite the crisis and very strict regulations in the country, a team of Slovak boxers flew to the London qualifying tournament

with

one big dream aka big goal aka big wish aka almost heavens miracle to interrupt the 24 years of droughts.

 

 

Slovakia competed as independent country at the Olympics since Atlanta 1996 and it was also the only time we had boxers (2 males) at Olympics...will we be so lucky to finally qualify someone... ?

 

Depending on the draw, on the judges, on the so needed luck hepfully we finally will..

 

Andrej "Bandi" Csemez in -75kg may be our biggest hope of this sport for the last 24 years...

 

 

Team

 

M

• -57kg - Viliam Tankó
• -63kg - Michal Takács
• -75kg - Andrej Csemez
