Good news from womens boxing... 4 medals assured........ that too two in olympic categories with world class competition

 

As some one said Sarita (in 60kg) is done with... we should try with youngster.... otherwise we have good womens team in olympic categories including neeraj and saweety

Neeraj chopra has pulled out of National open athletics championship at the last moment

 

It would have been interesting to see how he could have performed.... but decision has been taken considering long term

 

Btw hope every one has observed that at World Athletics Gold has been won with  a throw of 86.89 m which is well below Neeraj PB

Yes, but Neeraj needs to throw a 90m before the Tokyo Games.

Yeah 90m would be fantastic but I don't think it is absolutely necessary. As we saw in WC there were 7 guys who had thrown 90m before but gold went at 86 something.It all depends  upon conditions and my priority would be to see neeraj back to full fitness first.

Watched all the bouts.... ... 

Mary....... A pleasure to watch..... Good defense  strong offense....... The best boxing brain and a lovely style.. 

. Can go all the way..... Has a tough match against turkey who is the European champ 

 

Manju played very well against the much taller world number one...... A very amit like bout.... Go low.... Go in score and out.... Worked for her...... 

 

 

Jamuna - wow one of the best boxers I have seen, very Mary kom style upright.... Good offense and defense..... Very impressed.... Very young on her debut..... She may want contest the Olympic weight category 57  based on her performance here 

 

 

Lovlina..... Really fast and light boxer...... She should be nicknamed lightning..... But still has to work on her footwork..... Fell over at least 4 times was scared she will be penalised for it...... 

 

Kavita..... Good boxer but well  past her prime needs to give way like sarita for some one younger .... Was beaten by a faster BLR boxer
