Weightlifting and Boxing’s Place for the Upcoming Olympics is Uncertain

Philippines – The Philippines is confident weightlifting and boxing sports from which the nation conveyed a gold, two silvers and a bronze decoration in the Tokyo Olympics will be remembered for the 2024 Paris Games schedule.

The two disciplines, which delivered the country its advancement Olympic gold from lifter Hidilyn Diaz, several silver and a bronze from fighters Nesthy Petecio, Carlo Paalam and Eumir Marcial, separately, are at risk for being blasted out from the Paris plan because of administration issues.

In view of this, The Global Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach had, truth be told, said as of late that a choice would be made “as ahead of schedule as could really be expected” on whether or not boxing and weightlifting would be played in the quadrennial occasion.

With respect to weightlifting, Samahang Weighlifting ng Pilipinas (SWP) boss Monico Puentevella has since quite a while ago said the global alliance from which the nation has a place is making clearing changes to guarantee that the game will stay in the Olympics.

The IOC requests that we fortify our constitution and by-laws particularly hostile to doping. They shared that they haben’t came up to a decision and they need to follow or disaster will be imminent. This is what  Puentevella shared in a meeting with The STAR last August.

The nation has high any expectations of catching more Olympic mints in Paris particularly in weightlifting and boxing. There are a ton of hopefuls in weightlifting alone as 17-year-old miracle Vanessa Sarno, an Asian and world youngsters champion, Olympian Elreen Ando and Southeast Asian Games gold medalist Kristel Macrohon arise as competitors separated from Diaz.

Obviously, boxing has been an Olympic award delivering machine from that point forward and ought to send a more grounded assignment that is relied upon to be led by Petecio, Paalam and Marcial, who have all uncovered plans of peering toward only the gold in Paris. In any case, the shortfall of weightlifting and boxing could deny the country that possibility.
