Hello guys! Any idea if the spectators are allowed to take their mobile as well as tablets inside the stadiums? Specially tablets... While there in stadium for a long period, one does not want to miss activities / results from other sports.

Thanks. That's what wiki says too. But do we have any official source or a link saying that?

Any idea how does it work for 5th boxer to qualify? Box-offs or the guy whom Gold medalist defeats goes through?

Her event happened 2 days back. She needed to break her own NR of 1.92m to make it through Rio, however, ended at a paltry 1.80m!

Not sure if that's gonna happen. Had Rafa been playing injury free right now, it was a strong possibility (by his own admission) He plans to start practising only in July and then appear only in just a single tournament - Rogers cup, before Rio. Thus seems difficult to me. One of MD / XD could go. XD most likely IMO

Vikas was brilliant too. He broke his own NR of 154 kg in snatch by a unit more. No information on his overall score. I am guessing he might have missed out very narrowly to Satish.

That was the whole point! Power hungry officials have screwed the sport which could have been easily flourishing right now.

You wanna think of it as tragic or may be a conspiracy against Indian boxers (given the unfavorable results of recent past), but we have stooped down big from where we had reached once. I can't help but remorse thinking about Beijing and London, when all one could see was increasing number of our boxers entering late knock-out stages. Specially London. Since we had so so close bouts for most of our boxers, the immediate feel was of getting revenge by improving to one step more in next games. And look at where we are!! It makes me really sad. And yes. Thanks. I was in awe of the level of analysis you'd been putting here, so had to join

Thanks Vaisakh Like I mentioned I have been following every single post here for quite some time now. But since qualifications are more or less over, I didn't know a better way to pass time till Rio begins. Hence...

But what's the point sir? 1. If he couldn't get past the unknown spanish pugilist, how would he survive at ABP qualifications! 2. I doubt if there would be any takers (fed/opponent/viewers) for him turning pro!
