99% of the times Irish boxers lose, Irish fans claim a robbery too. 
 
It’s nearly always nonsense. 
 
Of course there have been robberies, and because of that others latch on. The worst I ever seen was Anthony Joshua over the Cuban in 2012 for example. 
 
It’s the same as football fans blaming the ref every time they lose though. The odd time they’re right, they’re mostly wrong 

That is your opinion and frankly, it’s nonsense.

Just seen a woman win a round 10-9 on one judge's scorecard despite receiving a standing count...

There’s no real “invitation” involved with pro boxing. It’s all money driven. She fought for world titles in summer 2023 and lost. 
 
Theres no rules (now) about pros entering the Olympics and there’s many active “pros” who have qualified and are attempting to qualify for the Olympics (though some national federations are against it)
 
Her opponent in the next round is Donjeta Sadiku who has won medals at world and European level but hasn’t had any wins against top class opponents. 

The IABA (Irish boxing federation) has said that Olympics.com will be providing streaming from march 8th
 
Good news

Similar to some boxing bouts I’ve seen so 

This is the only sport where they drug test to make sure there is some IN your system 

Yes, but as per earlier in the thread a lot of federations are posting their results on social media as they happen. 

Brilliant night of racing in the middle distances. Loved that they weren’t time trial processions 

Session two results are up

I don’t think they’ll ever get involved tbh. As long as they’re clear with the athletes before qualifying begins, that’s all that matters really. 

This result for Finn Lynch confirmed his selection for Ireland. He had been ahead after the world championships anyway 

with a very small team too
 
Mens 60m - Israel Olatunde
Womens 60m hurdles - Sarah Lavin
Womens 400m - Sharlene Mawdsley
Womens 1500m - Sarah Healy
 
Womens 4x400m relay team
 
Mawdsley is “pending invitation” but she’ll get that 

Actually. All the individual quotas in the 3 disciplines were confirmed
