Philippines currently ranked No. 24 and remains the best performing nation in SEA ...



However, it can't break the top 20 unless another gold is won.

More or less we will end our stint with 4 medals.

Maybe our boxers need better coaches.

Good luck to our golfers.

Boxing might not be in the Olympics in 2028, unfortunately. If this does happen, it'll be a massive hit for us since we've historically relied on boxing to bring us medals.

The IOC and Paris 2024 have sent out a statement condemning the discrimination on two boxers banned by the IBA last year. One of them is the Algerian boxer embroiled in the current controversy in Paris.

• Two boxers competing in Paris 2024 were disqualified by the IBA in 2023 for supposedly "high testosterone levels" using an unspecified test. The decision was made by the then IBA Sec-Gen.
• The IOC REMOVED recognition of the IBA as the international federation for olympic boxing that same year.

Note: Both these athletes are NOT TRANSGENDER athletes and were reportedly born female. They just happen to have high testosterone levels.

it's getting more confusing.
before, it was pharmacologic,
now it might be natural...
i can see it now... "wanted! female boxers with naturally high testosterone levels. objective: olympic gold!"

what's next, "ban high testosterone, whether pharmacologic or natural..." ?

in guinness, they don't ban overly active pituitary glands...

i'm wondering bakit kaya siya pinayagan mag-compete pa? or talagang considered minor illness na ngayon ang covid 19.

Akala ko Joel Embiid was French because the people in Paris were booing him. Cameroon-American pala siya.

He has a French passport daw and was courted to play for the French olympic team but he chose the US
