Paes and Matkowski had a few set points at various stages of the 1st set tie-break which they were unable to convert and eventually went on to lose the tie-break 14-12. If they had won any of those set points the story would have been different :wall:

This article is just jumping the gun...

 

There are way too many unanswered questions in AIBA's decision (as usual with AIBA). Some of them are below.

 

Q.1) The article on the official AIBA site ( http://www.aiba.org/blog/historic-aiba-extraordinary-congress-approves-registration-of-non-aiba-professional-boxers-for-all-competitions/) says " The amendment of Article 13 (J) will immediately allow ALL National Federations to register ALL non AIBA professional boxers for the APB/WSB Olympic Qualification Tournament in Vargas, Venezuela on July 3-8 according to the criteria for registration of pro boxers. The competition will offer 26 quota places available for Rio 2016" - Does that mean that even countries who have already qualified for Rio can send pro boxers to the APB/WSB qualifier ???

 

Q.2) In boxing, quota belongs to athlete and not country. So, will we have a situation where if a country has an amateur qualifier and then also sends a pro to the WSB/APB qualifier who also qualifies, then country chooses who goes to Rio ?? This was the situation with women - where countries could send different boxers to world champs and continental qualifiers and if both qualified, country would choose who goes to Rio.

 

Q.3) It seems like only amateur (plus WSB/APB) boxers are allowed for the World Qualifier in June, whereas pros + WSB/APB are allowed for the qualifiers in July. Does that mean that Indian boxers, if they fail to qualify in June, can take a token pro fight in Jun end, turn pro and then also compete in the WSB/APB qualifier ??

 

If anybody has official sources answering the above questions, please post on this forum as it will have a lot of implications for qualification.

 

The way I see it, from an Indian persepective, Vikas will be competing in the Jun qualifier. If he qualifies, Vijender is done. If he doesn't then there might be a trial between Vikas and Vijender to compete in APB/WSB event, if Vijender wants. Though don't think Vijender will be too interested. With due respect to him, have always felt that Vijender turned pro so close to the olympics because he saw the writing on the wall that Vikas is better.

Tomorrow at the French Open:

 

Mixed Doubles Quarterfinals

Paes/Hingis vs (5) Soares/Vesnina (Court 1)

Sania/Dodig (2) vs (7) Mirnyi/Chan (Court 2)

 

Both matches are 2nd matches on the respective courts and should start slightly after 3.30pm IST provided there is no rain.

Semi-finals are also scheduled tomorrow later in the day. Hoping the Indian challenge does not end tomorrow and in fact we have 2 teams in the finals! :)

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
