Uzbekistan is also a world power in freestyle wrestling and they got their first Gold in weightlifting. Men's 105 kg class. Good judo players as well.
atsch When the IOC withheld their money from Athens AIBA was supposed to reform but Wu is as bad, if not worse than his predecessor. Boxing will get removed from the Olympics if AIBA continues being run by Central Asian despots & gangsters.
Boxing should get removed from the olympics, 3 rounds of competition is absolutely NOT a good way to measure boxing talent :deal AIBA corruption has benefited many countries, the poor Kazakhs got the worse end of the stick.:rofl
You know nothing about Russia or it's culture. You are a coward with no athletic achievements so you broad brush hard working athletes that shatter your status quo. I am going to laugh myself into a seizure when Murika and Brit****ia's glass house comes crashing down upon them.
You have really fallen for the anti-American, anti-west, pro eastern Europe propaganda haven't you? So many of your posts have a clear nationalistic agenda. Anthing anti-Russian sees you pop up with your twisted opinion and that's all it is, never actual facts. If you actually looked at the facts you'd see that Russia have doped more than anyone. The 2016 WADA report had them top with the adverse test results with 148, 25 more than Italy who were the next worst offenders, UK had 35, US 34. http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/doping-data The 2013 report also showed Russia were the worst with 225 failed tests. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/athletics/russia-doping-crisis-map-reveals-the-worst-nations-for-doping-in-sport-a6728916.html If you just look at failed tests during the Olympics between 1968-2010, Russia are joint 2nd worst offenders with 9 failed tests. http://sportsanddrugs.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=004420 Over the last 10 years Russia has failed 496 failed tests making them the 2nd worst offenders. http://www.dopinglist.com/?action=news&news=article&id=316 But of course to you WADA is a western run body controlled by those who want to undermine Russia's good standing. The fact it's an international body, with committee members all over the world is just an inconvenient truth. Now I'm not going to pretend other countries don't dope, they do, some I would even say are state sponsored like Russia, but not many do it on the scale of Russia.
As some of you know I'm from the UK so maybe it isn't as bad or a story anywhere else but I am quite surprised at the stick Shukar Stevenson is getting for getting emotional after his defeat to Ramirez. The young man is 19 years old and has obviously worked ridicously hard to get where he is and it all got a little too much for him after the final, it was just a release of pressure but he is being slaughtered.
Conlan wasn't robbed. I don't know what fight you were watching, he was hitting gloves and shoulders of the opponent in the 1st and 3rd round, hardly any significant punches at all while he was getting countered clean. Nikitin put a counterpunching clinic on him in those two rounds. Conlan is a bum who doesn't know how to boxed and was schooled by MMA fighter Conor McRunner
