    I guess her qualifying win 6-4 in the third over the mighty Valentini Grammatikopoulou gave her the confidence and strength to breeze through the rest of the tournament

    Not your fault Laraja but those rankings (as published by the UCI) are wrong. They’ve made a mistake with the European championships (AFAIK!)

    Kinda interesting info from our wrestling star, 2-time Olympic medalist Zhan Beleniuk (who also, if you don't know, is a politician). 

    In his speech, he noticed this:  

    "The developed criteria should be in line with Ukraine's interests. Those people who supported or are supporting the war, who have been identified as participants in propaganda activities, for example, standing next to Putin and glorifying the Russian authorities and their leader, should not be able to participate in international competitions. In particular, I have information that some Russian wrestlers have already been blocked. They are now confused and do not know what to do, as they planned to take part in the Olympic Games, but this opportunity is still closed," the politician noted.

    Considering that, maybe a trio of dumpsters, also known as Uguev-Sadullaev-Sidakov can be possibly banned due to attendance of Luzhniki action. If that's would be the true, it really is a great news.

    Really impressive from Yastremska, especially since she struggled in all three of her qualifying matches, including against our own Valentini Grammatikopoulou (6-4 3-6 6-4)

    Dayana Yastremska  literally destroyed current Wimbledon champ Marketa Vondrousova with a stunning 6-1, 6-2. 

    What's more, Taylah Preston, who is "Yastremska's twin", made some problems with Eli Svitolina , but our star handled them with a double 6-2.

    Thanks for a huge job, it really simplifies future predictions.
     
    Here are some insights from Ukrainian squads (not confirmed yet, but 70% possible according to the Trials-National Champs): 
    Basanets lost at the Trials, so there can be a replacement with Anastasia Molochko (not so well-known boxer but we will see what she brings)
     
     
    You got it right, Bova can be replaced, and her replacement is Anastasia Chernokolenko, who left no crumbs on all of her opponents in the Ukrainian Champs including 5th place in Tokyo Lysenko and Bova herself. To my mind, Chernokolenko looks really powerful in 66, so it would be interesting. 
     
    Meanwhile, Chernokolenko will be replaced in 75 by youngster Karolina Makhno, who placed fifth at the 2021 WCH
     
    He is out probably, he decided to move to non-Olympic 60 and lost in the semifinals there. Our hope for this weight is another young athlete Aider Abduraimov. 
     
    It's also right, Khartsyz is likely to be replaced with Danyil Zamorylo in the first tournament, he shockingly lost to him in the final of the Ukrainian Champs

    So I decided to try and figure out who would be the likely qualifiers at the world qualifying tournaments and well many many hours, lots of procrastinating and a contender for the ugliest excel file ever created later I ended up ranking every boxer who competed at the continental qualifying tournaments and doing well some other stuff too.
     
    Obviously these are just my rankings and well I will fully admit aren't especially accurate even if I did spend a significant amount of time thinking about every position but they should at least be the most accurate boxing rankings out there.
     
    Just quickly in terms of boxing rankings that already exist the IBA have a ranking which is based on points system based on how far you get into their competitions. Even in a normal cycle where everyone was competing in the IBA's competitions they would still be woefully inaccurate because of the way they are calculated. They are also self perpetuating given that these rankings determine seedings which then effect how far into competitions boxers get. Anyway they are completely useless.
     
    Then boxrec has a ranking system which is accurate enough and as I understand based on the quality of your opponents you beat/ lose to. It does fall into weird pitfalls  where sometimes it overrates/ underrates one group of boxers and then when they keep beating/ losing to eachother and it gets stuck in a cycle and ends up with some weird rankings as a result. Also if you keep losing to good boxers without fighting bad ones or only beat bad boxers without ever fighting good ones it can end up with weird rankings. Finally while boxrec results database is very good it is still missing a lot of competitions particularly outside of Europe.
     
    And then finally Taylor O'Higgins (worth a follow on twitter) used to do an amateur boxing rankings on the Fight site and he is a boxing coach so obviously knows a lot more about the actual boxing side of things than I would. He has mentioned doing the rankings again a couple of times on twitter but as far as I know hasn't posted them.
     
    So ye hopefully these fill a bit of a hole and help with some of the qualifying/ medal projections on this site where some of the boxing related projections have been a bit hit and miss.
     
    I'll only post the top 50 boxers in each weightclass and the top 60 or so in my country rankings but I have linked an Excel file with the complete rankings of every weight class and ranked every country plus the same stuff but broken down by continental if anyone wants to look at them.

    (To be clear this is not the ugly Excel file I referred to earlier)

    As for Ukraine, I would say Mykhailo Brudin and Olha Mashanienkova - these youngsters won medals at the youth European level and theoretically can qualify if they decide to focus on senior competitions
