Two-Time Gold Medalist and Professional Superstar Claressa Shields and Her Team Send Congratulations to USA Boxing’s Olympic Medal Winners

Ostavite komentar
Two-time Olympic champion Claressa Shields, from Flint, Mičigen, is proud of Team USA’s Olympic boxing medalists and the whole USA Boxing squad, which featured five female participants for the first time. The only American boxer ever to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals, Shields stood atop the medal podium at the first-ever Olympic Games to feature women’s boxing in 2012, before duplicating the feat at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The reigning middleweight Olympic champion was pleased with the United States’ performance at the Tokyo Olympics, which featured three silver medals and a bronze in the first appearance of a women’s welterweight competition.


“I’m super proud of the U.S. tim. The Olympics is the hardest tournament to medal in and all of you showed a lot of grit, hard work, determination and skill,” Shields said.


Earning medals in Tokyo were female welterweight O’shae Jones from nearby Toledo, Ohajo, who took home a bronze, as well as a pair of professional boxers in Duke Ragan (perolaka kategorija) and Keyshawn Davis (lak), and California’s Richard Torrez Jr, (super heavyweight) who each won silver medals. The four medals represent the highest total for Team USA since Ricardo Juarez, Ricardo Williams, Clarence Vinson and Jermain Taylor grabbed hardware (two silver and two bronze) na 2000 Olimpijske igre.


The 2020 Olympic Games featured the addition of two women’s weight divisions, bantam (119 lbs) i velter (152 lbs), which shows the continued growth of the sport of women’s boxing throughout the world.


Shields, who in addition to her two Olympic gold medals has won ten world titles in three weight divisions and become undisputed champion in two weight classes in just eleven fights as a professional and recently launched a two-sport career with her professional MMA debut for the PFL, says that having Jones as another American female professional boxer sporting an Olympic medal would be good for the sport. Jones has previously expressed a desire to enter the pro ranks.


“An injection of new top-level talent is always positive,” said Shields (11-0-0, 2 KOs), who aside from making her successful MMA fighting debut in June, made history last March by dethroning Canada’s Marie-Eve Dicaire and becoming the first boxer in the four-belt era to be an undisputed champion in two divisions. She also retained her WBC and WBO junior middleweight titles with the victory and claimed Dicaire’s IBF belt, as well as the vacant WBA Championship. “The idea of a new generation of ladies turning pro and deepening the talent pool with Olympic-level skills will be good for the sport of women’s boxing.”


Shields went 77-1 as an amateur and turned professional after her second Olympic victory in 2016. Her 2017 battle with Szilvia “Sunset” Szabados was the first female main event to be broadcast on American premium television. In addition to currently being the WBC, WBO, IBF and WBA champion at 154 funti, Shields had previously unified all four of the major sanctioning body belts at middleweight (160 lbs.).


Shields has had a dominating, record-breaking run thus far in her professional career, tearing through other women once considered the best in their divisions with relative ease. She and Great Britain’s Katie Taylor, also undefeated as a pro, have lifted women’s boxing to new heights in recent years, leading an increasingly deeper talent pool that will only get deeper with the addition of the 2020 Olympians from around the world.


Shields’ manager, Mark Taffet of Mark Taffet Media, agrees that the impending influx of new talent to women’s boxing will benefit the sport as a whole.


“I’m excited for the four Americans who brought home Olympic medals this year, particularly welterweight bronze medal winner Oshae Jones who I believe will be one to watch in the next few years,” said Taffet. “The female boxing talent pool, and importantly the U.S. pool, continues to improve and bodes well for the future of women’s boxing and the continued gains toward equality across the board.”


Shields’ promoter, Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions, says he’s excited for the future and proud of USA Boxing, who produced four medal winners while undergoing a deadly pandemic that severely hampered the ability to train properly


“As a former amateur and professional boxer, I know the sacrifices required to fight on the elite level and I congratulate Team USA for all of its successes this year, even through all the added challenges that Covid-19 created,” said Salita.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Maj 12, 2021) — The Boxing Task Force (BTF) announced today the 49 quota places, originally to be awarded at the Road to Tokyo Americas Qualifier, that were awarded to boxers to compete in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 this summer. The quota places included six Team USA boxers, which was based off the BTF Rankings.

“These six boxers have been staples within our program and have established themselves amongst the world’s best by their performances during the past quad,” stated USA Boxing High Performance DirectorMatt Johnson. “Now it is time for them to perform at the world’s biggest stage in Tokyo.”

Representing Team USA at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, pending United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee approval, biceRashida Ellis (Lynn, Masačusets) Virginia Fuchs(Houston, Teksas), Naomi Graham (Fayetteville, N.C.), Delante Johnson (Klivlend, Ohajo), Oshae Jones (Toledo, Ohajo) iRichard Torrez Jr.. (Tulare, Kalifornija). All six boxers will be competing in their first Olympic Games.

2019 Elite Women’s World Championships bronze medalist Ellis will compete in the women’s lightweight (132 lbs./60 kg) podjela. Ellis won bronze at the 2019 Pan American Games to add to her BTF rankings to solidify her position in Tokyo as the second highest ranked America’s boxer and 12th overall in her weight class. Ellis will be looking to win Team USA’s first women’s lightweight Olympic medal.

“Qualifying for the Olympics has been one of my deepest dreams,” mentioned Ellis. “I never doubt my ability. I have stopped being afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited about what could go right. Tako, I embrace my mistakes and learn from them, as my mistakes have helped me improve and reach the Olympics. I don’t do easy; I make things happen. The hard work and dedication with effort and determination, I can succeed.”

Fuchs will represent Team USA in the flyweight division (112 lbs./51 kg). The 33-year-old will be looking to earn USA Boxing its second medal in the women’s flyweight division since the introduction of the event in London 2012. Fuchs brings an impressive resume to the ring, including a bronze medal at the 2018 Elite Women’s World Championships and silver medal from the 2019 Pan American Games, which places her as the second highest America’s flyweight boxer and 16th overall in the BTF rankings.

“I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. I am so excited I can finally call myself an Olympian,” stated Fuchs. “With all this world has been through and having to postpone the Olympics a whole year, I am proud to say I am one of the participants in what will be known as the most recognized Olympics in history. I am ready to represent my country in the most respected way and bring home the gold!"

2019 Pan American Games Graham is the highest seeded America’s female middleweight (165 lbs./75 kg) boxer in the BTF rankings, where she currently sits eighth overall. Graham earned points from her Pan American Games title, as well as her third-place finish at the 2018 Elite Women’s World Championships and top five finish at the 2019 edition. Graham, who will become USA Boxing’s first active female military member to compete in an Olympic Games, will be in contention to grab Team USA’s third straight Olympic gold medal in the women’s middleweight division.

“It feels unreal that I am going to the Olympics,” Graham stated when talking about earning her place to Tokyo. “I continue to surprise myself by finding my own limits, and then having the courage to blow past them.”

Joneswill step into the ring in one of the two newly added women’s weight classes, u velter (152 lbs./69 kg) podjela. Jones, who made history in 2019 with her gold medal performance at the Pan American Games, will look to continue making history by becoming the first Olympic gold medalists in her weight division. The 23-year-old added valuable points to her rankings with her top five placement at the 2019 Elite Women’s World Championships to finish as the top America’s boxer and seventh in the overall BTF rankings for the welterweight division to punch her ticket to the Olympics.

“I may only take up one spot, but my one spot represents so much,” shared Jones. “I’m beyond grateful for the chance to represent women, African Americans, my small city of Toledo, ali što je najvažnije, my country.”

The second Ohioan to represent Team USA, Johnson, extends the streak of Cleveland-native boxing Olympians to four, following in the footsteps of Charles Conwell (2016), Terrell Gausha (2012) and Raynell Williams (2008). The welterweight (152 lbs./69 kg), who first caught the attention of the boxing world with his gold medal performance at the 2016 Youth World Championships, earned his ranking points through his bronze medal finish at the 2019 Pan American Games and top 16 placement at the 2019 Elite World Championships. Johnson was the third highest seeded America’s boxer and 19th overall.

“My struggles are my stripes, and I wear them on my back, so that the people around me can see that even when you’re living in a jungle, you can still chase your dreams,” stated Johnson. “I am not only doing this for my city, but for my two coaches, Dante Benjamin Sr. and Clint Martin, whom I lost during my journey to these Games.”

Torrez, the highest ranked super heavyweight (201+ lbs./91+ kg) boxer from the Americas and 11th ukupne, earned his place through his third-place performance at the 2019 Pan American Games and top five standing at that year’s Elite Men’s World Championships. Torrez, a former Youth World Championships bronze medalist, will be the first American boxer to compete in this weight class since 2012.

“Everyone is happy they’re going to the Olympics, it’s everyone’s dream, but I need to be there,” said Torrez. “The fire that was instilled in me before I could even walk, that drives me to be the best, the fire that has been in my family for generations, has overflowed. It has set ablaze all my second options, and it has made ashes of any other possibility besides that of success.”

Team USA will be guided by USA Boxing National Head Coach Billy Walsh during these Olympic Games.

“It is fantastic news for our six boxers who have worked endlessly for the past five years to become an Olympian,” Walsh shared. “We now focus on the next stage of the process, to become an Olympic Champion.”

The boxing competition will begin on Saturday, Juli 24th (JST). Continue to checkusaboxing.org and USA Boxing’s social media platforms to stay updated on more information regarding the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Third-Generation Boxer Kayla Gomez Cornered by Mother and Grandmother / 2020 USA National Boxing Championships Mar. 25-April. 4, in Shreveport, Luizijana

Ostavite komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Mart 15, 2021) – There is no more of a family affair in USA Boxing thanKayla Gomez’s, in which her mother, Crystal Aceves, and grandmother, Cindy Aceves, work her corner.

They will be together once again at the 2020 SAD Boxing državnom prvenstvu, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 – April 3, in Shreveport, The.

The 18-year-old Gomez, who lives in El Paso (TX), is a youth flyweight (112 lbs.) bokser, who finished second at the 2019 National Championships, highlighting her first year in Youth competition. She has a growing supply of gold medals having finished on top at the 2019 & 2018 Western Regional Open, 2018 & 2017 Junior Open Championships, i 2018 & 2017 Eastern Regional Open. She is also a 5-time National Junior Olympic champion (2015 kroz 2019).  

A self-described multi-dimensional boxer, Kayla is a counter puncher and consummate boxer, displaying veteran-like “ringmanship,” but also capable of being a technical brawler and pressure fighter. She first started boxing in 2012 after watching a documentary on the 2012 Olympics.

“The inspiration of the boxers training to earn a gold medal motivated me to learn this unique sport,” Gomez explained. “I dedicate my whole life to boxing and as of right now, amateur boxing has impacted my life in a positive manner, paving my way in the near future to earn different accolades and experience for an Olympic gold medal and my pro career.”

Her mother, Crystal, is an amateur boxer who has competed in many tournaments. She will not compete in these championships this year because she is fully focused right now on her daughter and her future. She will be competing at other 2021 tournaments.

“As a boxer, my mom knows what it’s like to be in my position, so instead of getting mad at me, she gives me alternatives to do when I’m feeling low or not myself to have a better chance of being the best fighter I can be,” Kayla explained what it’s like having her mother and grandmother working her corner. “We all have a great relationship and work well in the ring together. They understand what it’s like to be in my position.”

A high school senior, Kayla is in a K-12 program for an online school due to her busy schedule. She does plan to attend college and share her boxing with educational opportunities.

“My education is just as important as my boxing,” She concluded. “I will attend college and work really hard to accomplish my goal of earning a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics and beginning my pro career afterwards.”

Kayla Gomez is a legacy boxer with a promising future.

Syracuse’s Amir Anderson Goes from underdog to top dog

2020 USA National Boxing Championships

More. 25-April. 4, in Shreveport, Luizijana 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Mart 8, 2021) – In the 2019 USA National Boxing Championships, Amir Anderson was a relatively unknown competitor from Syracuse (N.Y.), but this year he believes he’s one of the “top dogs” in the 165-pound decision.

Anderson will be competing in the youth division at the 2020 SAD Boxing državnom prvenstvu, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 April 3, in Shreveport, The.

Anderson’s goal at these championships is simple: he wants to win to lock down a slot on the USA Boxing Youth Team, which will give him a leg up in terms of qualifying for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

“The winner in each weight class qualifies for the USA Boxing Youth Team,” he explained. “Runner-ups are alternates and can make the team if the winner can’t for whatever reason. Želim da pobedi! 

“Last time I had nothing to lose at Nationals. Sada, I have everything to lose. I do my research and breakdown other fighters in my weight class. I’ll be more focused this time because I was an underdog then and now, I’m the top dog in my division.”

The 17-year-old Anderson has already tasted success, capturing top honors at the 2019 Junior Open and 2019 Eastern Regional Open, in addition to finishing in the runner-up position at the 2018 & 2019 National Junior Olympics.

Still a high school senior, Amir describes himself as an all-around boxer with a unique style in which he can box or bang, hit the angles and throw a lot of punches.

Like every amateur boxer, last year was a tremendous challenge to train, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. “I trained six hours a day in my basement to get in really good workouts,” Anderson said. “And I ran my miles, suviše. When my gym opened-up last July 2ND, it was limited so I had to still workout in my basement. It was hard to stay focused, but I knew how.

“I really planned to win a lot of regional and national tournaments to get national recognition. I wanted to fight in Bulgaria with the junior team, but that was canceled, suviše. The pandemic was a setback for me, but we’ll see what’s in store for 2021.”

The National Championships is the first trip towards Amir Anderson’s Parisian goal for 2024 at the Olympics.

USA Boxing Converts Abandoned Department Store Into National Training Gym for Preparations for Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

Ostavite komentar

(COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.) – When the boxers of the USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team arrived in Colorado Springs, Kolorado. this week they walked into a new training facility with just over six months left until the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and even less time to their qualification tournaments.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, USA Boxing athletes have not been allowed to train in the national boxing gym at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center (USOPTC) since March 2020 and have had to continue to make adjustments to their training plans, which included training at the French National Training Center in Paris in late 2020.

After being told they would not be allowed to begin 2021 at the USOPTC, the coaching and national office staff had to find a new home to begin the final preparations for the qualification tournaments taking place in May and June.

“After spending most of 2020 waiting to be allowed entry back into our national gym at the Colorado Springs OPTC, it was time that we took matters into our own hands and established a training space that can properly accommodate our team’s training needs,” said Matt Johnson, USA Boxing High Performance Director.

USA Boxing ended 2020 and the beginning of 2021 moving all equipment, which included four boxing rings, numerous heavy bags and strength and conditioning equipment, from their gym at the USOPTC to an abandoned department store in a mall in Colorado Springs to hold training camps, while housing the boxers and coaching staff at the nearby Hotel Eleganté.

“We are able to continue to move forward in this COVID environment by applying multi-layer protection protocols, pre-travel testing, mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, regular cleaning, regular rapid antigen testing, daily health surveys and follow up PRC pool testing, as well as provide a top notch training facility in our temporary facility, which we are greatly thankful for John Bushman, owner of Hotel Eleganté and the training facility, to help provide these opportunities to our boxers,” stated Mike McAtee, USA Boxing Executive Director.

“The training facility and environment we have created has greatly reduced the risk to our boxers and coaches. USA Boxing strives to fulfill our stated mission to our boxers, ‘… (u) inspire the tireless pursuit of Olympic gold and enable our boxers and coaches to achieve sustained competitive excellence…’ in the face of a worldwide pandemic.”

The first training camp of 2021 began Jan. 14 and will run until Feb. 18, before the boxers head to Bulgaria and Spain for international competitions. USA Boxing will hold the final training camp before the America’s Olympic Qualification Tournament at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center, in Chula Vista, Kalifornija, in another makeshift boxing gym, which held the final training camp of 2020 u novembru.

The one and only 1956 olympic gold medalist pete rademacher

Ostavite komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Avgust 27, 2020) - 1956 Olimpijsko zlato medaljePete Rademacheris the only boxer to fight for a world title in his pro debut.

Rademacher, who died this past June at the age of 91 in Sandusky, Ohajo, was a native of Tieton, Washington. He had a 72-7 amaterski zapis, highlighted by his gold medal performance at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia.

Rademacher started boxing during his rehabilitation for Rheumatic Fever, which he contracted while attending Castle Heights Military Academy. The gifted heavyweight captured top honors at numerous national tournaments, uključujući 1951 & 1953 National AAU Championships, 1954 All-Army Championship and Service Championships, and Olympic Trials.

In Australia, he knocked out the three opponents he faced, in order, Josef Nemec (Czechoslovakia) in the quarterfinals, South AfricanDaan Bekker u polufinalu, and the Soviet Union’sLev Mukhin in the opening round of the championship final for the gold medal.

Rademacher was so hot after the Olympics that he publicly proclaimed that he would be able to become world heavyweight champion in his pro debut. Soon after he became the only fighter to make his pro debut in a world title fight, when he challenged defending World heavyweight championFloyd Patterson (32-1)  on August 22, 1957 in Seattle. Rademacher floored Patterson in the second round, međutim, he was dropped six times before the fight, which was refereed by Hall of FamerTommy Loughran, was halted at 2:57 of that round.

Rademacher, who was an offensive lineman on Washington State University’s football team, didn’t take many easy fights during his 5-year pro career (15-7-1, 8 KOs). His most notable pro victories were against World title challengerGeorge Chuvalo (17-3-1) and future Hall of Famer and World middleweight championBobo Olson(87-12), both by way of 10-round unanimous decisions, as well as technical knockouts overLaMar Clark (42-1) and NorwegianBuddy Thurman(32-5-1), odnosno, u 10th and ninth rounds.

Rademacher’s pro losses were to some of the best heavyweights in the world, such as Hall of FamerArchie Moore, along with world title challengersKarl Mildenberger (29-1), neporaženDoug Jones (17-0) iZorro Foley (40-2-2), who had been Rademacher’s arch-rival in the amateur ranks.

Arjan Iseni trening tokom pandemije

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (April 23, 2020) — Amaterski boks, kao u profesionalnim redovima, je ugašen širom svijeta zbog pandemije koronavirusa. Članovi američkog boksa prilagođavaju se ovim izazovnim i teškim vremenima širom zemlje.

Zatvorene su teretane i škole, turniri obustavljeni, i 2020 Ljetne olimpijske igre u Tokiju odgođene su za godinu dana. Članovi elitne kvalifikacije, Omladinski i juniorski timovi visokih performansi više su kod kuće nego na Colorado Springsu, a treniraju u vrhunskom američkom centru za olimpijske i paraolimpijske treninge.

Kako su neki od vodećih SAD-a. amaterski bokseri koji su u ovom periodu živjeli bez borbi?

ELITE OLIMPIJSKI TIM ZA KVALIFIKACIJU

Joseph Hicks (Grand Rapids, Mičigen), 26-godišnja srednja kategorija, USA Ranking #2
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 National Golden Gloves; 2017 & 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier; 3-vrijeme Eastern Elite Qualifier (2017-2019)

Hicks je u samo jednoj kvalifikacijskoj pobjedi službeno postao član 2020 Tim SAD Olimpijski bokserski tim. Iskorištava pauzu, iako, provodeći kvalitetno vrijeme sa suprugom i malom kćerkom.

“

Lično smatram da je ovo prerušeni blagoslov, jer imam više vremena za poboljšanje stvari na kojima su mi treneri iz SAD-a govorili da radim. Živim u stanu u Lansingu (MY), ali boravio sam s mamom u Grand Rapidsu kako bih mogao komotno trenirati. To je na neki način čudno, ali nedostaje mi udaranje. Pokušavao sam se prilagoditi novom normalnom, ali jedva čekam da se vratim u trening centar (Colorado Springs).

“Volim što svoju kćer mogu viđati svaki dan kako bih joj ukazao svu pažnju, ali ona joj nedostaje toliko koliko i meni. Moja supruga i majka su mi pružale veliku podršku. Vjerujem da će me čekanje još godinu dana poboljšati samo dok Olimpijske igre budu ovdje.”

Oshae Jones, (Toledo, Ohajo), 22-godišnja velter kategorija, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2020 Olimpijski timski pokusi, 3-vrijeme Elite državno prvenstvo (2016-2019), 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2016 Youth Open, 2014 National PAL. International: 2020 Turnir u Strandji & 2019 Panameričke igre

Jones je bio na listi koji je vodio do odloženog kvalifikacija za Ameriku da zaključa mjesto na listi 2020 Tim SAD Olimpijski bokserski tim. Trenirala je u porodičnoj teretani u Toledu, kao i uključivanje više u usluge i funkcije zajednice.



“Nisam se prilagodio životu bez boksa, jer boks nikada neće napustiti moj život. Moja porodica / treneri imaju teretanu povezanu s našom kućom u kojoj živimo. Boks nije sport, to je stil života .

“Srce mi je palo kad sam prvi put čuo da su Olimpijske igre odgođene. Sve na čemu radim u osnovi čitav svoj život je na pauzi do sledećeg jula. Ne znam kako se osjećam niti kako da izrazim kako se osjećam. Jedino što mogu je pokušati ostati motiviran.”


EKIPA ZA VISOKE PERFORMANSE OMLADINE

Arjan Iseni (Staten Island, Njujork), 17-jednogodišnjak u poluteškoj kategoriji, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Državno prvenstvo za mlade, Eastern Regional Open & Youth Open

Iseni živi u epicentru Koronavirusa, Staten Island, Njujork. On i njegov otac sagradili su mali prsten u svom dvorištu (pogledajte sliku ispod) jer nije mogao trenirati ni u jednoj teretani.

“Teško je znati da ove godine neću moći predstavljati Tim SAD ni na jednom međunarodnom turniru. Ovo mi je zadnja godina kao omladinskog boksera, ali jako sam trenirao tokom karantene, i bit ću spreman za sve što slijedi za mene.

“Teško je znati da se neću uskoro boriti, ali ovo mi daje više vremena da popravim male nedostatke u svojoj igri, i vratit ću se jači kad se sve ovo završi. Nadajmo se, sve se vraća u normalu uskoro, tako da se mogu vratiti aktivnim borbama i nadam se da ću tim SAD-a postati Elite bokserom.”


Shera Mae Patricio (Waianae, Havaji), 17-muha od godinu dana, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Državno prvenstvo za mlade & Western Regional Open; 2018 Državno prvenstvo za mlade & Western Regionals Open; 2017 Državne juniorske olimpijske igre & National Golden Gloves

Patricio živi najdalje od trening kampa i svojih saigrača, ali njena porodica posjeduje teretanu za boks, a trening / sparing joj nije problem jer ima osmero braće i sestara.



“U karanteni smo i prilagodio sam se životu bez borbi nastavljajući trenirati u svojoj ličnoj teretani sa svojom braćom i sestrama. Trening nam nije predstavljao problem jer imamo vlastitu teretanu. Saniramo svu opremu i teretanu prije i nakon treninga. Budući da uskoro nema borbi, pooštravali smo svoje vještine i izgrađivali više znanja Stekli smo snagu i održavali izdržljivost. Vikendima, moj otac vozi bicikl dok trčimo u krugovima kako bismo se sunčali, a ponekad radimo sprint vježbe vani.

“Naša porodica je bokserska porodica koja je započela s mojim tatom dok je bio boksač. Počeo je da me trenira, samo za odbranu, ali je počelo da postaje ozbiljno u 2015 kada sam osvojio svoj prvi turnir u Kansasu. Svi moji ostali braća i sestre također su boksači i također su višestruki prvaci. Moja braća i sestre dobivamo tonu porodičnog vremena boraveći zajedno kod kuće. Ova karantena nas je još više zbližila. Naša veza nas čini jačima pojedinačno i jedinstveno. Daleko sam od treninga u Colorado Springsu, ali moji suigrači udaljeni su samo telefonskim pozivom. U stanju sam da ostanem u kontaktu i to je jako zagrijavanje. Neki od trenera provjeravaju me kako bih vidio kako mi ide. Radovao sam se svim turnirima na kojima sam se planirao boriti i razočaran sam što su odgođeni, ali imam više vremena da se još bolje pripremim za svoju sljedeću borbu.”

JUNIOR TIM VISOKOG UČINKA

Steven Navarro (Los Anđeles, Kalifornija) 16-muha od godinu dana, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Junior državno prvenstvo & National PAL; 2018 Junior državno prvenstvo; 2017 Prep Open & Western Regional Open

Navarro je trenirao u Colorado Springsu kako bi se pripremio za međunarodno takmičenje u Bugarskoj, ali putovanje je otkazano dva dana prije nego što su Navarro i njegovi suigrači trebali krenuti.



“Kao član boksačkog juniorskog tima SAD-a, Radujem se svakoj borbi / turnir, jer bi mi mogao biti zadnji. Tako me je potreslo srce kad sam bio obaviješten da su naše borbe u Bugarskoj i buduće međunarodne borbe otkazane zbog ove pandemije. Nastavljam raditi koliko i redovno: buđenje u 5 ujutro, trčanje 5-6 milja u obližnjim brdima, naravno da nosim moju masku. Dolazim kući da pohađam predavanja na mreži 9 od 14:00, što mi drijema 2 sata prije odlaska u privatnu teretanu. Ja sam jedina osoba koja svakodnevno trenira u svojoj teretani 4:30 poslije podne. Jednom kad dođem u teretanu, Počinjem se istezati 3 kruga (3-minutne runde), kutija za sjene za 5-7 kruga, onda sam pogodio pet vrsta boksačkih vreća (3 rundi svaka). Poslije, Radim rukavice (5-8 kruga) gdje se fokusiram na različite pokrete i situacije koje bi se mogle dogoditi u borbi. Često udaram u dvostruku torbu i brzinsku torbu 3 kruga. Završavam trening boksa sa 15 min. konopca za skok.

“Treniram svakodnevno za 2 sati sa mojim ocem / trenerom Refugiom Navarrom. Ova se pandemija pomalo kocka zbog toga što nema pristup sparingu. Ja se obično krećem’ sa ocem jednom sedmično, ali iskustvo je drugačije. Jednom završen, Upućujem se baki i djedu’ kuća (samo jedan blok od moje kuće) da se potrudim i pripremim. Nosim masku i rukavice dok radim tamo. Moj djed je bodybuilder i u garaži ima uređenu teretanu. Dobar sat vježbam s djedom, stalno dezinficirati svu opremu, da završim svoj dan. Radim sa onim što imam, što je blagoslov. Boks nije sezonski sport, morate biti spremni tokom cijele godine na sve, i to je ono što nastavljam da radim dok težim veličini.”

Fernanda Chavez (Dallas, Teksas), 14-jednogodišnja bantam kategorija, USA Ranking #2
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Junior Open; 2018 Prep Open & Istočna regija



Chavez je prva godina članica Junior High Performance Team-a, a njen početni trening kamp u Colorado Springsu odgurnut.

“Prilagođavanje ovom novom načinu života nije bilo najlakše. Zahvalan sam što imam svoju porodicu, kao što smo svakodnevno trčali i vježbali u parkovima. Moja porodica razumije važnost mog atletizma i održavanja kondicije, zbog čega nastavljamo motivirati jedni druge u ovo teško vrijeme. Nisam sigurna kada će se naši životi vratiti u normalu, zbog čega sam i dalje u svakom trenutku spreman.

“Ono čemu se najviše radujem u kampu u Colorado Springsu je susret s drugim mlađim ženkama u timu, kao i učenje različitih stilova koje donose. Takođe se radujem stvaranju veza između mojih novih saigrača i trenera iz cijele države.”
