Boxing Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

i think they did it that fast so hopefully either Paquiao or Mayweather will suddenly choose to compete which wont happen. Countries with good boxers have their quota filled up pretty much (like russia). Don't think it will be very fair to put amateurs vs pros in Rio. I don't really watch boxing but that's what makes sense to me....

Pacquiao already said he won't try to qualify anyway.

 

Dutch Peter Müllenberg said he's not afraid at all of the pro's. "Our pace is way too high for them. By the time we finished our fight, they barely warmed up. We can take all of them."

I have heard that view quite a few times, that pro boxers won't be able to cope with the pace of the amateur game and that the 3 rounds as opposed to 12 will be a big advantage for the amateur boxers. I would be suprised if many pros actually compete in Rio, GB for sure will not send any pros to Rio 2016 and I hope other countries don't remove quota from amateurs and give it to pro athletes, considering they will not have contributed towards winning the quota in the first place.

Unfortunately our (probably) best boxer apart from already qualified Müllenberg is in a weight with just 1 available quota..

Well, Müllenberg and Fontijn are both already qualified, which is one more than I expected, so if the three guys here in Baku can get a quota that would only be an even nicer surprise :d

I don't get why they discriminate heavier boxers and give them much less quotas than to others... Boxing is the only combat sport which doesn't have the same number of quotas in all weights.

    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall. 
    • Finally got around to updating post 2 with results from last weekend...that's a lot of German and Austrian flags!
