When thinking about, I found one good thing. No Boxers at Olympics means less money for this sport, means more money for hockey.

 

Slovakia with Only 4 (mayvbe 5/6 at the end) sports at the Olympics will result in huge increase of money on Hockey. Let say the truth it is still the only thing which interest this country, having a boxer at the Olympics (even more a female) would be ridiculous and just take out money from what matters more.

 

So at the end, once Paris will be over nobody will even cry about and everybody will completely refocus on August Hockey Olympic Qualifiers. This is the main event of this year for the absolute majority of sport fans in this country

I hope that works out and we'll see a Slovak hockey team in LA 2028

That's cool too.

 

Can't wait for you to explain little by little facts about  hockey match, if Slovakia indeed does well in hockey. Also no one in the forum is opening threads like Hockey Div 2,3 etc so I hope you do that, once that format is restarted by world hockey. 

 

HC Kosice vs HC Bloemendaal what a mouthwatering clash between the two hockey clubs

I remember that Seoul 1988 was also a huge scandal. Then Roy Jones Jr. lost to the host representative in the final after the scandalous verdict.

That one was a biggie.  One judge from Morrocco was quoted in the US magazine Sports Illustrated saying that Jones won easily, but that he put down Park Si-hun as the winner because he thought a 5-0 decision would have embarrassed the host country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So now, 36 years later, Park Si-Hun gifts the 1988 gold medal to Roy Jones Jr.
