It looks like Reese Lynch is back to full fitness - he's been included in the squad taking part in the Socikas International tournament this weekend in Lithuania and he has won his first round fight against :LTU Aleksandras Petrovskis. 

 

I think the selection for Bangkok needs to be done by about 17th of April so I guess this will be an important tournament for him as he will need to prove he's back to full fitness for the selectors to give him the nod for the final Olympic qualifying tournament. 

 

Also in the squad this week are Scott Richards and Hamza Mehmood in the 51Kg, Joe Tyers in 63.5Kg, Harris Akbar in 71Kg, Ramtin Musah in 80Kg and Isaac Okoh in 86Kg.

 

Alongside the victory for Lynch, Richards, Tyers and Musah all recorded victories on the first day, but Harris Akbar was defeated.

Reese Lynch comes up short against :KAZ Zhandos Kydyraliyev in the semi-final. Joe Tyers also loses his semi-final against :IRL Paul Hale. Both will take home bronze medals.

 

Hamza Mehmood lost his first fight against :ARM Baregham Harutyunyan but as it was a semi-final, he still comes away with a bronze medal.

 

Scott Richards won again - defeating :KAZ Daniyal Sabit whilst - and Ramtin Musah is through to the final after defeating :UKR Maksym Kofan.

 

Isaac Okoh got his first victory with a defeat of :UKR Pavlo Michkovskyi.

The Socikas tournament reached final stages to day and GB came away with a gold and two silvers to add to the two bronze medals won yesterday. Isaac Okoh took gold in the 86Kg class whilst Ramtin Musah and Scott Richards took silver in the 80Kg and 51Kg classes respectively.

 

I don't usually follow boxing so I could be wrong here, but in digging through recent results, I get the impression that the competition pool for GB boxers seems to be quite limited. It tends to be the same nations competing each time - so they're able to rack up bouts against Scandinavian and Baltic nations but that's about it.

Suspect it's connected to the World Boxing/IBA issue

It would certainly cause waves on both sides of the Irish Sea :d but she would certainly be great addition to the British squad. Whitwell has had 2 attempts to qualify and hasn't won a single bout yet. 

 

I just can't see the logistics of the switch working in the timeframe we have left given the registration window for the 2nd Olympic qualifier closes on the 11th April.

  • 2 weeks later...

GB Boxing squad announced for next week's Gee Bee Tournament in Finland

 

Scott Richards - M51Kg

Cameron McKay - M63.5Kg

 

Kelsey Oakley - F50Kg

Lucy Kings-Wheatley - F60Kg

 

I think it is safe to say that competing next week will likely mean that these 4 are out of consideration for the final Olympic qualification tournament in Bangkok.

 

Joining them on the squad are Olympic qualified Rosie Eccles F66Kg and Cindy Ngamba W75Kg

Fairly chunky GB squad competing in the World Boxing Boxing Cup in Colorado this week. 

 

W50Kg - Savannah Stubley has bye in round 1 and faces :USA Lexus Ramirez in QF

W50Kg - Demie-Jade Resztan has bye in round 1 and will face either :DEN Sofie Rosshuag or :USA Jennifer Lozano in QF

W54Kg - Charley Davison v. :USA Shera Mae Patricio

W57Kg - Elise Glynn has bye in round 1 and will face :USA Alyssa Mendoza in QF

W57Kg - Sameenah Toussaint has bye in round 1 and faces :ITA Amina Zidani

W60Kg - Shona Whitwell v. :CHN Wen Lu Yang

W60Kg - Gemma Richardson v. :GER Felicitas Ganglbauer

W75Kg - Chantelle Reid v. :AUS Emma Greentree

 

M57Kg - Owain Harris-Allan v. :DEN Frederik Jensen

M63.5Kg - Reese Lynch v. :GER Ousainou Hansen

M63.5Kg - Joe Tyers v. :AUS Jaggar Altoft

M63.5Kg - Patris Mughalzai v. :USA Jahmal Harvey

M71Kg - Harris Akbar v. :SWE Kevin Scott

M71Kg - Lewis Richardson v. :CZE Milos Barti

M80Kg - Taylor Bevan v. :CHN Tuohetaerbieke

M80Kg - Ramtin Musah v. :BRA Wanderley Pereira

M92+Kg - Delicious Orie v. :BRA Abner Teixeira

 

It's good to see a bit more variety in terms of the opponents that British fighters will be up against and they've some tough match-ups to look forward to. In the W54Kg class Shera Mae Patricio got to the quota fight at Busto Arsizio before losing out to Thailand's Jitpong so will give a good indication of where Davison is. Likewise, Elise Glynn's opponent - Alyssa Mendoza - was another fighter to fall short in the quota bout in Italy. 

 

On the men's side, both Musah and Orie's opponents are qualified for Paris. Orie has had mixed results of late so this is a good opportunity to test himself against another Paris bound fighter.

Irish media are reporting that Amy Broadhurt's switch to represent :GBR has taken a further step forward after receiving clearance from the IOC Boxing Taskforce. 

 

Broadhurst also travelled with the GB squad to Colorado last week and was part of their training camp. 

 

Registration for the final qualification tournament in Bangkok closes tomorrow, so we may have a squad announcement by the weekend.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
