One of the very, very few big tournaments this year started today. AIBA President Umar Kremlev is here to take some pictures and gave the official Go. The roster is pretty amazing for a pandemic world with 306 boxers, from 35 nations, from 5 continents. Everyone got tested already and every day there will be additional random tests. This could have very well been an OQT, if AIBA/IOC knew what they were doing..
