Boxing Olympic qualifiers: Trials in women categories on Dec 29-30

The Hindu  

Women boxers vying to be in India’s squad for next year’s Olympic Qualifiers will appear for selection trials on December 29-30, high performance director Santiago Nieva said on Saturday, ending a bitter selection row involving six-time world champion M. C. Mary Kom. Putting an end to speculation, triggered by Boxing Federation of India president Ajay Singh’s statement that Mary Kom would be exempt from trials, Nieva said boxers in all five Olympic categories for women will be picked after selection bouts over two days. “All the women boxers for the qualifiers will be decided by trials because the laiddown policy was that only the finalists from the World Championships will get direct qualification for the Olympic qualifiers,” Nieva said, referring to the August decision by the BFI executive committee. READ| Indian boxing ace Amit Panghal working on 'power and reach' None of the women boxers in the Olympic categories – 51kg, 60kg, 64kg, 69kg and 75kg – could make the finals, with Mary Kom and Lovlina Borgohain finishing with bronze medals after semifinal losses.
