Is boxing really that bad? I know that the host country always has an advantage, but isnt it pretty much the same in all fighting sports, fencing and maybe even artistic gymnastics (all sports with judges)?

It would be great if there would be a way to make it impossible for the judges to "identify" the athletes. If you dont know which athlete is from country X, then you also cant cheat. No we only need a way to disguise the athletes during the competition ...

yeah, boxing has always been like a heaven for corrupted judges...some of the worst scandals ever have been recorded in this sport...

other fighting sports are not so widely manipulated as boxing (maybe because they are less popular in many parts of the world and don't have the same economical power of boxing - even the relatively modest AIBA sector of boxing)...

maybe only Taekwondo has had in the past the same problem as boxing, but now there are less "wrong winners" in all of its bouts (of course some manipulations will always be present, I'm not saying that now it's a completely clean discipline)...

fencing...well, fencing is so poor on the economical side (and has very few Countries dominating the action, at least until the last few years) that it's not worth the effort to build a system like the boxing one, so until now there have been just a few occasional real cheats...mainly we have just bad mistakes because of not well prepared refs...

Tuvalu didn't get it? So sad, looks like they will only have 2 sprinters in Rio...   Btw, looks like this is correct. apparently received this today.

I think that's a mistake on wikipedia, as that weightlifter is listed as Greek on IWF rankings. I guess we'll just have to wait and see when IWF finally decides to publish something.

How can federations hide doping cases at olympic games, i think WADA does the testing at the olympics? WADA should get much more power, federations or countries cant decide about bans, WADA should treat all athletes the same.

that's the theory...but practice can be a lot different...just look at what the Russians did in Sochi with their "disappearing positives"...

frankly, I don't have any sort of confidence in any Institution (WADA, IOC, International Federations) when there's so much money on the table...

Not very happy anymore with my bet on Hou to win neither..I've now gone for Miyake at odds of 6, which I guess is too high without a Chinese girl in her class.

Yeah had a bet on her too. It's really hard to say who is favorite in 48 without Hou , but I would pick Sopita Tanasan , in world champs last year she did 210 at 53 but weighted only 50.xx. So i believe she could do about 200 total, which may be enough for gold

Personally I think it's between Miyake and Tanasan, I would take both of them at odds of 6, but they're not offering Tanasan and I think at those odds Miyake is a good bet too :p

Records in nationals or other internal competitions mean nothing for the real competition , most athletes lift around 10kg less,
