Amateur boxing corrupt from top to bottom, according to this evidence.  It’s a great shame, because it ought to be one of those sports where poor nations can do as well as rich ones.  Always was suspicious after the very transparent judging system used at Beijing 2008 was changed back to the subjective judges’ verdict system in 2012.

It did at least seem a lot better in Tokyo.

AIBA World Champs in Belgrade are nearing and for the first time in history there will be a prize fund for the medalists. Gold medal will be $100,000, silver $50,000 and both bronze medalist get $25,000. Wonder from where exactly they got the money. :whistle: Our team was very enthusiastic about this at their press-conference, but most likely they still won't win anything :d 

 

And the other thing is, why the heck are they going to have 13 categories?! Like the IOC is reducing them by the minute and they bring in more... 10 was more than enough and well balanced. Guess it's some profi-boxing structuring. (Yes, i know they used to be 12 in the past, but i find 10 to be the optimal number)

    • 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.
    • Someone made this Statue Trump---Epstein     mysterious bronze statue called “Best Friends Forever” has popped up on the east end of the National Mall in Washington, DC,    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-epstein-statue-dc-national-mall.html    
    • 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.
    • another wave of mega rain is coming in north Africa 
    • 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
