Slovakia competed at the Olympic Games in boxing only once in the post Czechoslovakia era. And it was already at the very first games the new country attended, in Atlanta in 1996, we even had there two boxers, two men, but they both lost their opening fights. Peter Baláž in the 1st round to Indonesian opponent and Gabriel Križan to a French boxer in 2nd round after having a bye in the opening round.

 

The 23 years old Andrej Csemez, a boy no one in his neighborhood will calls him by any other name than by his nickname "Bandi" was not even born when our boxing was at the Olympics for the last time. But, thanks to this wonder kid the incredibly long droughts (25 years) of Slovak boxing will finally close.

 

The former EU 2018 champion and Minsk 2019 European Games Bronze medalist won his quota to Tokyo at the European Qualifying Tournament after beating Ryszard Lewicki of Poland in the opening round and was scheduled to face Miguel Cuadrado of Spain next, but the competition was postponed after three days due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Returning from England he tested positive for the virus, becoming the first Slovak athlete to do so, and had to go into quarantine with the entire Slovak team. But did not gave up his big dream, continued to prepare himself and when the qualifying tournament re-started in France this May (more than a year and half after his 1st match) he faced the Spaniard and won again 5-0 to advance to the quarterfinal and direct olympic qualifiying match.

 

In that what can be named as historic bout for Slovak boxing he defeated the Belgian Lancelot Proton de la Chappele again 5-0 and qualified himself to the games and returned the country after long, very very long 25 years back to the Olympics Boxing ring.

 

As I wrote, Slovakia never won a medal at the Olympics in Boxing since the independence, in fact, never won a single match at the Olympics so far. The country will be looking at our "Bandi" this late July/early August to finally change that.

But it is appropriate to mention that in the Czechoslovak era, the former TCH won 6 Boxing medals, 3 of them by Slovak boxers, 2 of them gold, the legendary Ján Zachara in 1952 and Július Torma in 1948, the last medal is from the Moscow 1980 games, Bronze of Ján Franek.

For India 

 

While we came close to the medal podium several times with quarterfinal finishes , it was in 2008 that vijender got us a medal , followed by Mary Kom winning bronze in 2012. The banning of the Indian boxing federation from 2012 – 2016 dampened spirits but the Boxing federation was reconsitituted approved and has done a good job and we have a sharp uptick in our boxing performance.

 

So what our chances . we have 9 boxers participating in 2021, the biggest team ever , of these 6 are genuine medal prospects . I will focus on these

 

*Flyweight Men*   - Amit Phangal is currently ranked world number 1 and a reigning world championship silver medallist  and is the reigning Asian games champion.  He has lovely footwork  and compensates by quick in  and out boxing . Definitely a “likely” medal

 

*Lightweight men* Manish kaushik is an elegant boxer always a pleasure to watch  , he is a current world championship, he is currently ranked 18th which is more based on weird ranking system but a definite *likely* to medal for me

 

*Welterweight*  Vikas Krishan Yadav will be taking part in his 3rd  Olympics,  Immensely talented a youth gold medallist in 2010 , followed by a world championship bronze Vikas has been a bit of a bad boy of Indian boxing often missing camps and sometimes reaching big events not in great physical shape , he currently looks very focused and after a brief stint in pro boxing seems to want to  redeem his early promise , always a *likely*  for me

 

*Flyweight women* : Mary Kom  , the diminutive  Manipur is a legend in Boxing and India ,  she is the rare  Indian G.O.A.T ( greatest of all time ) in an Olympic sport by winning  6 world championship gold medals , the highest by any women boxer. Her favored pinweight has never been part of the Olympic program and she is forced to box in the Flyweight. She is looking to cap her great legacy with another Olympic medal . The best boxing brains in the business , she will be surely a *likely*

 

*Lightweight women* Simaranjit Kaur is seeded 4th  and a 2018 bronze at the world championship underlines her class. She is yet another “likely”

 

*welterweight women* - Lovlina is another lady from the northeast , she is twice world bronze medallist and surely surely a *likely* medallist

 

*Medal  prediction for India : Three , with a range of 2-4 will be my best bet , but with only Simranjit and Amit seeded in the top 4 , the luck of the draw will play an important part in boxing

strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi

    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.
    • This video is just about the poic "Russia-Ukraine Crisis Consequences in Sports"    
    • got the gold medal for the 2nd time as the best biological oil of olive

    • alcohol during christmass  has been banned by the european parliament in  Brussels this year 
    • Russian athletes have  nothing to do in politic , ...if you support  justice  ,why don't you ban Satanyahu from sport too ?  , they even use doping without any control 
    • Team Slovakia   Goaltenders:   Leonardo Roberto Henriquez (Green Bay Gamblers, )  Alan Lenďák (Fargo Force, )  Michal Prádel (Tri City Storm, )    Defencers:   Adam Beluško (Green Bay Gamblers, )  Michal Čapoš (Wenatchee Wild, )  Andrej Fabuš (HC Slovan Bratislava) Adam Goljer (HK Dukla Trenčín) Adam Kalman (HC Nové Zámky) Filip Kovalčík (Drummondville Voltiguers, )  Matúš Lisý (Red Deer Rebels, )  Luka Radivojevič (Boston College, )          Forwards:   Jakub Dubravík (Vlci Žilina - Juniors) Alex Gašo (Mountfield HK, ) Ján Chovan (Sudbury Wolves, )  Tomáš Chrenko (HK Nitra) Michal Liščinský (HC Košice) Alex Mišiak (Erie Otters, )  Samuel Murín (Tri City Storm, )  Adam Nemec (HK Nitra) Tobias Pitka (Northern Michigan University, )  Tomáš Pobežal (Kingston Frontenacs, )  Andreas Straka (Quebec Remparts, )  Michal Svrček (Brynäs IF Gävle, )  Tobias Tomík (Vancouver Giants, )  Lukáš Tomka (HC’05 Banská Bystrica)
    • Slovakia pulled the goalie out in the Overtime and played 4 vs 3  for more than 2 minutes    We suddeenly pulled out goalie and have control of the puck for like 2 minutes in the first 2 minutes of the overtime but without soring than lost the puck and give up a 2 on 0 breakaway empty net goal for the czechs    Interesting strategy 
    • The doomongering made what I post on here seem positive. Everything possible to go wrong was predicted fo go wrong.
