According to the recent communication form our deputy Olena Hovorova - Bach ensured her, that all the proofs provided by Ukraine will be taken into account. Several athletes like Sadulaev, Uguev, Batsarashkina were ruled out. More to follow. In judo this process will take place later since their dedaline is one of the latest.

Bach

According to the rules of ICF country can get only 2 athlete quotas at the continental qualifier fro Men`s Canoe (as well as Women`s canoe and e.t.c.). Thus despite of the fact that they "won" C1 and C2 quotas they cannot get all 3 athelet quotas. That is absolutely for sure and confirmed by the ICF. So, they should decide - to get C1 or C2 (by the way in Paris C2 members may both start in C1). The other boat will be reallocated to the next country at the European qualifier. That is definitely will happen. *** Then. ICF has its own strange rules and do not consider C2 as a "team". But this rules are only applied to the ICF competitions. The IOC has its own rules and clearly stated that russians will participate as AINs - Individual Neutral Athletes. Thus the IOC has no reasons to allow C2 to compete and according to the logic of its own rules must reallocate this quota. But! That is Bach and he can do what he wants. So we have to wait for a word from the IOC. P.S. It is notable, that European qualifier took place many days ago but the ICF have not update quotas list yet.

Yes, Parma was really strong and won a trpophy against Antwerpen. I think, that the cornerstone of that good old football was the rule, that no more than 3 foreign players can be at the field at the same time in one team. That made more teams really competitive.

Herojam Slava! I think it is a moment to unite all the coubtry! Interseting list. I have never seen it. By the way, can we add one more country - Czechoslovakia ?

Any news on the reallocation? June is coming ))

I liked that Fiorentina squad - with Batistuta and Rui Costa. That was one of my favorite teams in Serie A. But they did not win the title too (((

Yes, that`s why I wrote that I am not satisfied with text. Our federation is simply in chaos last years. @dodge I would like to apologize to Irish friends for that incorrect statements in the appeal. They should focus on the actions of referee and on the scores given by judges but not on the opponent. Of course the IOC has got enough from boxing recently, but my main hope (not a huge one) - they will revise referee`s actions.

So the appeal officially filed. I must say I am not satisfied with the text of the appeal. They mixed a lot here and some parts of the text are too emotional for the official document as well as some allegations. But in general it shows the strategy: it is unlikely to change the scores from judges, but it is more likely to overturn referee`s decisions. The chances are low but bigger than zero.

My congratulations! Greece had a long way to this victory! (I best remember that chance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC-2OZ7q9OM) It must be a holiday for a whole country today!

Great job - doing so detailed analysis. Lovchynsy won / Khartsyz lost - that were that 50/50 bouts. No problem with that. Your point about styles stresses the most fundumental problem of amateur boxing - no clear clriteria for scores. That makes nonsense of this sport - since any unfair decision can be justified easily. I strongly believe this decision is unfair. But it is obvious and normal that we cannot agree on this. About W54. I do not think Kovalchuk is good enough right now. And I will not be satisfied if our girl will get win not because of her merits but as a compensation of Zakhareev` lost. We have seen it many times - when one injustice is beeing fixed with another injustice. As it was in London 2012 - when Khytrov was robbed to get medal for hosts and then Vastin was robbed to give us another medal instead of Khytov`s one. I hate this way of doing business by International Federations. So I prefer us winning appeal (i do kot know if any other appeals were filed at all) - but not getting that ugly "compensations". I understand that the chances are low, but we have that experience with Lomachenko and may be some ref`s decisions can be revised or something else. Anyway, that is good that the next bout in that weight is not tomorrow.

Yes, I agree on the statement judges. By the way, what are the rules of the appeals at this tournament? It is organized by the IOC not World Boxing or AIBA. As far as I remember earlier the scores from judges could not be appealed. But the actions of referee could be appealed. At the OG-2008 qualifying tournament (WCH) we used that rule to reinstate Lomachenko. He "lost" at the early stage, but was reinstated and won the tournament. I am asking because our NOC is preparing an appeal to revise the bout - it is official information. By the way the scores: and by round by judge J1 - 9:10 - 10:9 - 10:9 J2 - 9:10 - 10:9 - 9:10 J3 - 10:9 - 9:10 - 10:9 J4 - 10:9 - 10:9 - 9:10 J5 - 9:10 - 9:10 - 9:10

Did you watch Walsh - Zakhareev? (By the way, I do not think angles were so important there). Our federation did all they can to broadcast all the bouts of our boxers, but that bout we have from another source.

It is a question with no answer, I am afraid (( Our girls in Air Rifle are clearly not good enough for years - may be it is a question of selection? Girls were more interested in pistol or... in other sports.

Finaly a quota for us . Congratulations for And I think is safe via rankings too. We have 6 quoats - exactly the same number as for 2020. And again no shotgun for men and air rifle for women.

Thank you for watching video and writing this. I appreciate your evaluation and remark on styles. And of course, scoring system is awfull. Of course we are biased, and you see close bout and I see clear robbery with Zakhareev. @Fly_like_a_don as a neutral specatator says Zakhareev won all three rounds.

We got it, no problem ) I was trying to be funny too and created that screenshot of your complaining ) If I complain every time when our boxer lose website would require a new harddisk to save all that posts )) It is not a problem to be funny when your boxer loses because he is just worse than the opponent, but when he was not worse it is another case.

By the Way IOC killed IBA. National federations who will not leave IBA must be excluded by the NOCs.

Really? And I supported you there, ah...

Here is video https://www.facebook.com/taramari/videos/816989067015582 So you will be able to evaluate (interestingly, that comments to the video during livestream are in favour of blue corner) )) No blanket statements, of course, but this bout was robbed, as for me. (edit. we lost 4 bouts today, but this one is not OK) I would say - the best system was in 2008, when the scores were shown live during the rounds to everyone.

I do not want to characterize in such way Irish boxing in general. But personally Walsh... should stay at home during the Olympics, since he lost to Zakhareev.

Walsh "beated" Zakhareev - clear robbery. Khartsyz has ane even bout against Cuban - it was 50/50 decision. Very bad day for us. Especially with that robbery in favour of Walsh. He did not win that bout at all. Video here https://www.facebook.com/taramari/videos/816989067015582

No they are eligible. For example, Hordyents, because 1. Hordyents did not win quota for Ukraine personally. 2. He is competing in the 25m tournament where Ukraine won only 1 quota. So he can win 2nd quota for Ukraine in 25m. And then if Ukraine will have 2 Ukrainian quotas in 25m and 1 quota in 10m, one of athletes from 25m will be able to compete at the 10m too.

By the way. WALSH - ZAKHARIEIEV tomorrow in R16. Zakhareev`s bout in R32 R

won 9 of 10 bouts! It cannot last forever and may come to an end tomorrow ) But by now excellent performance
