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

    • Vittozzi- Wierer in 2019 or even some later. They are still not close friends and do not train together: Vittozzi has been training alone since last season, Wierer with the men's team for 4-5 years and the rest of the Italian team still separately - Vittozzi trained with this second group until she suffered an injury in the autumn of 2024.
    • So far, the Russians haven't even reached the Dnieper River, so don't worry. Poland has the same problem as Ukraine, in that there are no major geographical obstacles to the east: mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. The terrain is quite flat, but to reach Warsaw in a few days, the country would have to fall apart, the army would collapse and the authorities would have to escape from the country. 
    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
