Men's 71Kg -  Dev Nishant def.  Lewis Richardson (3-1)

 

Richardson becomes the 3rd GB fighter to exit the tournament. 

About time too!! Much needed after losing 5boxers in 1st round. Hopefully this win gives others in the camp some confidence.

Wow so we have a girl Christina Linardatou who already won two fights in 60 kg. I had never heard of her and was surprised to see she had a Wikipedia page, so I clicked it and now have been researching her a lot.

 

She is 36 yo and seemed to have a successful professional career, also has 30k+ followers on Instagram. There seems to be some drama with her not being invited back to professional boxing after having a baby, I will look into it more another time, but it seems like now that is why she is fighting for a place at the Olympics instead. Perhaps someone who knows more than me about boxing (I know nothing) can explain this better? It's confusing to me!

 

It would be cool if she could qualify considering I had never heard her name until a few days ago and I always like it when Greek athletes who weren't on my radar end up on the Olympic team 

 

Also she was born in the Dominican Republic to a Greek father (who worked in the shipping industry so that explains how he got there) and a Dominican mother, but moved to Greece as a child. She also is with a Greek guy and had a child with him (I didn't see any evidence of a wedding on her Instagram page so I don't think they are married but I could be wrong).
