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.

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
