Why? 

Our boxer is facing World and Olympic champion Katie Taylor... she'll need a judges miracle to defeat her

Isn't she qualified for Rio?

No, she isn't; and when the draw was out and she was on Katie's path, I was sure the only option for Mexico was USA advancing to semis, but now that's impossible

Sandra Drabik has a chance for a quota

I am very sad for Sarah Scheurich. Her only chance to qualify here was to reach the semifinal, because the girls from Sweden and Russia who finished ahead of her at the continental qualification tournament didnt compete here (very clever decision, but bad for Scheurich) and she had to fight against Shield from the US (number 1 seed) in the second round ...

I hope that we get at least one quota place on the womens side, considering how unlucky we have been so far.

 

Edit: I just found out that our best chance for a quota place has to fight against a girl from Kazakhstan in the quartefinal, so its time to say goodbye to the quota place, although she beat the number one seed in the last round.

Didn't Taylor recently get beaten in a huge upset as well?

Expected loss for Nimani, she wouldve deserved to be in Rio, but the draw killed her. In the end we will probably qualify more athletes for Rio all sports combined than i expected, but not the athletes that i wanted to qualify. My dream wouldve been to have about 300-350 athletes in Rio, we will have more in the end, but many athletes/teams who shouldve qualified didnt qualify.
