let's have a quick look at how the whole drama could develop...

 

Men's -49kg

the bottom half of the draw is as simple as it looks...Rufat Huseynov (AZE) will cruise into the final (and the Olympic spot) with the usual help of the judges...

in the top half, the Turkish guy is very, very weak, but I guess he will be taken with force at least into the decider against Zamotaev (UKR, no.1 seed) in the quartrfinals...I hope that at least the Ukranian can stop him (if it was a fair game, the spot would be contested between the Ukrainian, Cappai - ITA - and Jagodzinski - POL - but we all know that ths is not a fair game at all)...

my picks: UKR, POL and AZE to qualify...

 

Men's -52kg

this class is quite open...in the top half we have the Irish Irvine as no.1 seed, the German Hamza Touba and the Italian veteran Picardi as the best fighters on paper (but we also have a Turkish man, not to be forgotten)...

in the bottom half, my favourite is Muhammad Ali (GBR), but Asenov (BUL) has always had a certain luck with the judges and Riscan (MDA) is always a dangerous boxer...

my picks: IRL, BUL and GBR to Rio...

 

Men's -56kg

Qais Ashfaq (GBR) and Butsenko (UKR) should be the semifinalists in the top half of the draw, meanwhile in the bottom part the 1st round match-up between Chalabiyev (AZE) and Gojan (MDA) is the actual top fight of this class, but, once again, we can't forget that there is a Turkish boxer, who could mess up the whole field, especially in this class, where he's been gifted the no.4 seed...

my picks: GBR, AZE and TUR to the Games...

 

Men's -60kg

top half: the fight between Sofiane Oumiha (FRA) and the German Robert Harutyunyan (which would take place in the second round, if everything goes according to plan) should establish this side's finalist...

the bottom half is a lot more open, with Domenico Valentino (ITA) being the classiest man in the field, but with also a few other serious pretenders to the Olympic spots (from David Joyce, IRL, no.3 seed to Joseph Cordina, GBR, no.2 seed...without forgetting the Hungarian Miklos Varga and the man from Belarus Safaryants)...

my picks: GER, GBR and BLR to qualify...

 

Men's -64kg

the top half of the draw is quite easy for both the Ukranian Petrov and the Cuban (starting for Azerbaijan) Sotomayor...

the bottom half should see Petrauskas (LTU) through to the semifinals, meanwhile the other spot is really everybody's chance (I secretly hope in a stunning performance by the young Italian Arecchia, medallist at the last Youth Olympics)...

my picks: AZE, UKR and LTU to the Games...

 

Men's -69kg

top half of the draw almost unpredictable, even the no.1 sed Stanionis (LTU) can't consider himself above the rest of the field...

bottom half with Mangiacapre (ITA) clearly being the best boxer, but with many opponents who could easily spoil the party for the Azzurri (especially the Hungarian Bacsai in a possible second round match-up)...

my picks: LTU, ITA and GER to qualify...

 

Men's -75kg

top half with 4 strong pretenders to the only 1 or 2 places for the Games: Christian Mbilli-Assomo (FRA), Michael O'Reilly (IRL), Antony Fowler (GBR) and Bogdan Juratoni (ROU)...

bottom half with less quality...Mytrofanov (UKR) should get the spot accessing the final bout...and I hope Cavallaro (ITA) can at least make it through to the semis and fight for the Games in the play-off bout (Paskali, GER, no.3 seed and the Hungarian Harksa should be his strongest rivals)...

my picks: FRA, UKR and ITA to qualify...

 

Men's -81kg

top half with a fake no.1 seed (th Dutch Peter Mullenberg)...the fight will be almost certainly between one of the most overrated boxer ever, Teymur Mammadov (AZE) and the almost unknown Russian (formerly from Georgia) Kushitashvili...the only outsider could be Mehmet Unal (TUR)...we know with which methods...

the bottom half on paper will be an easy task for Oleksandr Khyzhniak (UKR), with the German Serge Michel as only trustable opponent...

my picks: AZE, UKR and GER to qualify...

 

Men's -91kg

Abdulkadir Abdullayev (AZE) is the no.1 seed and the favourite to earn the Olympic spot in the top half, but he shouldn't underestimate Darren O'Neill (IRL) in the possible quarterfinals matchup nor the the man from Turkey in the eventual semifinal bout...

The Pole Jakubowski and the Belarussian Karneyeu, instead, are the 2 best fighters in the bottom half, at least on paper...it would be an interesting semifinal if they really meet at that stage...

my picks: AZE, BLR and (I hope) POL to qualify (but I really fear the local "hero")...

 

Men's +91kg

Unfortunately for Italy and Great Britain, I don't see how AZE, RUS and TUR won't get the available spots in this class (maybe Joseph Joyce has a better chance against Babanin in the top half of the draw, but the bottom part is definitely closed for anybody not coming from AZE and TUR)...

 

finally, my Women's picks:

 

-51kg: GBR and the winner of the early rounds bout between ITA and BUL

-60kg: IRL and her legitimate successor as the best women's fighter pound for pound, 17 year young multi-youth champion of everything Irma Testa (ITA)

-75kg: GBR and RUS

Why is Müllenberg a "fake no. 1 seed" and what's wrong with Fontijn in the women's 75kg? :p

Mullenberg is a "fake" no.1 because there are at least 3 fighters (AZE, UKR and RUS) who are clearly better than him (and 2 of them already got many international medals to prove that, the only not yet so successful cruiserweight - at senior level - is the young Georgian boxing for Russia)...:evil:

 

on the women's side, there's nothing wrong with Fontjin...she is definitely a very good boxer...

it's just my personal idea that Savannah Marshall (GBR) will win the fight beween them (if they actually end up meeting in the semis)...nothing more than a simple prediction (and don't worry...I usually miss more predictions than I guess right)...;)

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
