avlar 132 Posted January 31 #11 Share Posted January 31 Recent interviews from russia suggests that all the national team rejected participation in the Olympic games under the white flag. It does not mean for sure that they will not send boxers to the qualifier but it looks probable at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,259 Posted February 8 #12 Share Posted February 8 668 athletes have registered for the tournament - obviously way more than they expected as they have had to put in an extra day of competition. No are taking part but there are 2 in these initial numbers. Final entries to be confirmed 1st March.

An average of 50 athletes per weight class, but unlikely to be even distributed, so there may be more than 64 in some classes - so a minimum of 4 wins required to bag a spot. That is brutal.

That is brutal. Or put it this way - most male boxers who qualify for the Olympics will only need two wins to medal (Most will not have a round of 32 fight, so win last 16, win QF = bronze) About 8 are there already in most classes. These guys are two wins from a medal right now. The poor saps at QF1 are possibly 7-8 consecutive wins away right now * * (ignoring SF and F in the QF1 which have no effect on qualification/medalling) Edited February 8 by mpjmcevoy Josh and Ogreman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
