We are going to win 2 golds in boxing but we won't even have 1 bronze. It's the biggest shame about Abbes in the 92 kg category, because the Uzbek, who he lost to after a questionable result in the 1st round, won gold today and won all the next fights very confidently. If the Italian had made it through the 1st round, he would probably be happy with gold today. And we might miss that 1 gold very much at the very end of the games :(

I have friends in Poland and I know that you no longer have the right-wing government that you used to have. This new one probably won't make a circus out of sports and this fight?

Sure. But after 8 years of their ruling it's sth like two nations in one country. We think the opposite about everything, they try to prove that everyone who respects anything is Tusk German leftwinger with no brain, not a Pole, a traitor. Language of hate all the time. Pole is a cathol who thinks that woman are cunts (if they have their opinion) and everyone different just a bit is a sickbrain trans. And this PiS which was ruling together with Konfederacja now (Szeremeta is their important member)...well...there is a lot of them. And they like...ready to be back all the time mental like. I can't live in my country now as a happy person. I am real right side, liberał, but a traitor brainless cunt for them. So, i love the country, always will, the nation of Poland...we are not a nation now. They treat this semi in unhuman way, i just don't believe what happened to this nation. So much  hate...They have their own media, tv station, always trying all the rest to obey their private rules. Sth similar to Gilead ideas.

Brave of you to say, given that it was certain the war would be over "in a few months, then a year, then it couldn't go to two years" etc. 

 

I've said it before, but with America's rich, rich history in boxing, I'd be flabbergasted if they'd drop boxing right before their hosting. No matter what kind of other scandals the IOC has with boxing, it will be a gigantic opportunity for the US to revive interest in this sport and I'm sure there are lots of regional and local parties with interests in this.

I don't listen to political talking heads, if Trump gets elected he'll pull back NATO's support and Ukraine will be forced into peace talks, period. EU is unable to finance this war themselves.

 

And yeah, people here forget how many medals USA can win in boxing. Plus their main target is China which is doing better in swimming. Nobody in USA cares about these Uzbeks or Kazakhs winning medals in boxing so there will be no pressure to "punish" them.

There really needs to be some definitive tests to see how much of an advantage the two gold medalists had because the moment they completely open the doors for this, women's boxing will be over. 

But she competed in Tokyo and at the 2023 World Championships, only then was she in poor form and didn`t win medals. Only here did the Taiwanese and Algerian jump out in such high form. I`m interested in this weight class because of the successes of our Irma Testa and she won gold at the World Championships in 2023. In Tokyo 2021, the gold was won by a Japanese woman who is no longer competing and in the final she defeated Petecio from the Philippines.

    • https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-15560431 I can find a shark in my hometown...
    • I agree on that   but my anger was about another issue concerning the senseless words of our "beloved" troll, I'm not speaking in defence of Sinner and his crew (and actually I'm surprised that NADO Italia haven't started head down to try and getting him banned yet, as they're always in search of publicity and this case would be a special chance for them)
    • actually, there are sharks in the Mediterranean Sea also 
    • Handball should definitely the sport where USA don't get a free quota, but IIHF has a very accomodating policy   they gave them the free quotas in 1996 and most likely they will do it again in 2028   Field Hockey is OK among the women, we'll see how they are going to manage the men's team, but they found the way to let Japan (and French women) play the home Olympics recently, so I guess they won't raise the bar too much also for the US team in 2028   on the other hand, I'm really curious to see what IOC is gonna do with Cricket...a 6-team only tournament would be a farce and I don't think the USA should get a free quota, despite the very impressive T20 world cup they played a few weeks ago
    • From an IOC point of view, they've long wanted certain huge sports in - consider how much ticket revenue comes from football, in particular. Seen at its best, getting major eyeball sports in creates more revenue for all the sports, including the not so many eyeball ones. That's why IOC buckled to allow in pro athletes in cycling, it's why they brought in tennis, and badminton (very big in some parts of Asia). It's why they were so keen to get Golf and baseball in when golf and baseball themselves didn't seem bothered, and they've long wanted cricket in, and some sports with an X games quality. But Cricket was the big win, after golf, the key to an entire subcontinent. Lacross sixes and flag football os a small price to pay as a one off for that, and LA were happy to pay it.
    • I would still have a problem with Sinner's team being reckless and stupid enough to use anything with Clostebol as an ingredient. They should be much better than that.
    • On the topic of broadcasting, here's the list of rights holders put together by the IPC: https://www.paralympic.org/paris-2024/news/where-to-watch
    • if it's not the strictest, surely it's in the top 3
    • Clostebol is one of the ingredients of the Trofodermin cream, which is the most used cream for skin troubles (cuts, burns, dermatitis and more) here in Italy   and you only need a simple prescription to buy it...so, even if there's written on the box that it's doping, it might easily be used by people who don't have to respect any doping rule, but they might end up contaminating people who should pay more attention to that   that said, I think there's a problem with that cream, as perfectly explained by this article   https://honestsport.substack.com/p/italys-clostebol-doping-crisis-across?sort=top   already posted by our friend @De_Gambassi earlier in this same thread
    • Italy is probably the strictest nation on the planet when it comes to doping.
