Russian boxers would be competitive at the Olympics in most weight categories, Kravtsov said

Russian boxing coach Eduard Kravtsov said that Russian boxers would compete with the strongest opponents at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Russians do not take part in the Olympic boxing tournament.

— Of course, there are still strong, decent guys. But in terms of competition, the quality of boxing at the Olympics is the weakest. There are many factors that influence this. Firstly, Russia, one of the leaders of world boxing, did not participate. I think our boxers in most weight categories would have been competitive for both men and women. It is important to understand that the Cuban team has also aged.

In fact, veterans arrived, with the exception of two or three boxers. Previously, the Cubans were competitors in all weight categories, but now 80% of this team simply does not exist. One of the leaders of world boxing, Kazakhstan, also fell apart, I don’t know for what reasons. Maybe this whole situation did not allow them to fully reveal themselves. There are many reasons that, in my opinion, influenced the level of this Olympics, – “Championship” quotes Kravtsov as saying.

The Olympic Games in Paris will end on August 11.
