COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan April 9, 2020) — Imagine being the lone boxer from your country to capture an Olympic gold medal, only days after the infamous Munich massacre. Now imagine also having won a remarkable 338 dari 350 pertandingan amatir, having fought a trilogy as a professional with **“Menakjubkan” Marvin Hagler**, being declared legally blind in both eyes (having entertainer **Sammy Davis, Jr.** pickup a six-figure medical bill), regaining sight in one eye, then working as a teacher of autistic students for 17 tahun.

**“Gula Pasir” Ray Seales** has truly lived a surreal life, to say the least, and he’s still involved in boxing at the age of 67, as a successful coach of amateur boxers in Indianapolis.

Born in Saint Croix, DIRI KITA. Virgin Island as one of eight children in a family whose father was a boxer there as a member of the U.S. Army team, Seales started boxing at the age of nine. “I have three brothers and we always beat the crap out of each other,” he spoke about his start in boxing. “Learning how to box, untukku, was all about fighting to be the first to eat. I had gotten hit in my left eye playing dodgeball and my uncle, who was stationed at Ft. Lewis (di Tacoma, WA), told my mother there was a special doctor there who could help with my eye. My father was stationed all over and in 1964, when I was 12, my mother moved us to Tacoma, Washington.

“I had boxing in my system. I went with my brothers to the Downtown Tacoma Boys Club, which was only one block from our home, and my mother could watch me walk from our house to the gym and back. I was the first from there to win a Golden Gloves title. I wanted to be a winner and finished with 14 (juara) jackets. I couldn’t speak English. I knew Spanish and spoke Spanish and English together. The first word I said in English was box. We used to fight three or four times a day and we built the Tacoma Boxing Club. I went on to have a 338-12 amateur record and I’ve been in boxing ever since.”

Seales developed into a champion, taking top honors at the 1971 National AAU and 1972 National Golden Gloves championships. Pada usia 19, Seales enlisted in the U.S. Angkatan Udara, but his mother made some calls so Ray would be able to compete in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Jerman.

She succeeded and the rest, seperti yang mereka katakan, is history. And when he came home from the Olympics, he was told that there was no need for him to report to the U.S. Angkatan Udara, because he had done enough in terms of service as the only American boxer to win a gold medal.

Itu 1972 Olimpiade, akan tetapi, was overshadowed by the killing of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches, as well as a West German police officer at the Olympic Village by terrorists on Black September.

“I had just turned 20,” Seales remembered. “Boxing was heavy when we went there. Some of my family, my coach from Tacoma, and Tacoma teammate (and 2-time U.S. Olimpiade)**Davey Armstrong** were in Germany. I didn’t know anything at first. I had to get the attention of my parents to let them know not to go there, because there were terrorists with sub-machine guns in the Olympic Village. I was the only American boxer left to fight.”

Seales defeated Bulgarian **Angjei Anghhelov**, 5-0, in the light welterweight championship to capture an Olympic gold medal, the only member of the U.S. team to do so. His teammates included Armstrong, **Duane Bobick**, and Olympic bronze medalists **Jesse Valdez**, **Marvin Johnson** dan **Ricardo Carreras**.

Sugar Ray Seales’s dedication to USA Boxing is second to none,” tersebut Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “His pride, patriotism, and devotion to helping our next generation of champions is what makes him such an inspiring figure.”

Dibuat untuk menjadi juara seumur hidup, hubungan yang saling menguntungkan antara USA Boxing dan alumninya, –petinju, pejabat, pelatih dan penggemar tinju — Asosiasi Alumni menghubungkan generasi juara, menginspirasi dan memberikan kembali kepada juara tinju masa depan USA Boxing, masuk dan keluar dari ring.

Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS terbuka untuk siapa saja yang menyukai tinju dan ingin tetap terhubung dengan tinju amatir. Anggota diberikan akses ke berbagai acara khusus yang diselenggarakan oleh Asosiasi Alumni, termasuk penerimaan tahunan Hall of Fame Asosiasi Alumni Tinju USA.

Untuk bergabung dengan Asosiasi Alumni, cukup mendaftar di alumni@usaboxing.org untuk sebuah $40.00 biaya keanggotaan per tahun. Anggota baru akan menerima kaos, gantungan kunci dan e-wallet.

Seales turned pro in 1973, winning an 8-round unanimous decision over **Gonzalo Rodriguez** di Tacoma. “Sugarman” memenangkannya yang pertama 21 perkelahian pro, until he lost a 10-round decision to 14-0 middleweight prospect and future Hall of Famer Marvin Hagler. Dua perkelahian kemudian, Seales fought Hagler in Tacoma to a 10-round draw (99-99, 99-99, 98-96).

“Everybody wanted a shot at the Olympic gold medalist,” Seales explained.” I went to Boston and we fought in a TV studio (WNAC). It was freezing in there. I was shivering when I went into the ring, Marvin came out dripping sweat. I knew I was losing after seeing that, but I hung with him and went the distance (10 putaran). I was having management problems and three months later I fought Hagler again, only this time at home in Tacoma. I beat him but it ended in a 10-round draw. He knows I beat him!”

Seales completed his trilogy with Hagler, but it was five years later, when Hagler was 42-2-1 and avoided by most of the world’s top middleweights. “I was the USBA (United States Boxing Association) and North American Boxing Federation (NABF) middleweight champion and Hagler needed to win a title to get a world title shot,” Seales noted. “I lost our third fight in the first round, but that’s the only thing shown on television in our three fights. We were two left-handers, but he switched to right-handed, and he caught me with a hook. I got paid and they bought him a world title fight.”

Seales has coached two different amateur teams in Indianapolis during the past 11 tahun, kemenangan 10 Golden Gloves team championships, and he’s still in charge in Indy of Team IBG.

After he retired in 1984 after suffering detached retinas in both eyes, Seales was introduced in Las Vegas to Sammy Davis, Jr. (digambarkan di bawah), who paid Seales’ $100,000 medical bill for his damaged eyes. Davis had lost his left eye in a 1952 car accident

“I’m a teacher,” Seales concluded. “I see the way that so many boxers want to fight likeFloyd Mayweather. Their head is tilted, they can’t throw a jab. I teach them to have the right foot behind the left (for a right-handed boxer), and to walk in straight, not tilted or peaking. Heel toe, heel toe every time you pivot is your stance.

“My advice for the boxers who hope to compete in the 2020 Olympics is to focus on what you’re doing and listen to how to get it done. What I really want to do is to coach the USA Olympic Boxing Team 2024.”

40^th anniversary of tragic airplane crash in Poland

22 members of Team USA Boxing perished

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Maret 14, 2020) – One of the darkest days in American sports history occurred 40 years ago today, when Polish Airlines flight #7 that had departed John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City crashed a half-mile from Okecie Airport in Warsaw, Polandia.

Semua 87 passengers died, termasuk di dalamnya 14 boxers and eight officials on the USA Boxing team, karena disintegrasi disk turbin di salah satu mesin pesawat yang akhirnya gagal.

Team USA bepergian ke Polandia untuk bersaing di dua peristiwa ganda tinju amatir internasional. Rata-rata usia 14 petinju hanya 20 ½, mulai dari 27 tahun Walter Harris ke Byron Payton 16 tahun.

Potensi Olimpiade mimpi dari 14 petinju hancur dalam kecelakaan mengerikan. Meskipun sebagian besar petinju masih dalam tahap perkembangan mereka, di luar calon medali penantang Lemuel Steeples, setiap anggota bercita-cita untuk mewakili Amerika Serikat di 1980 Olimpiade di Moskow. (Amerika Serikat akhirnya menyebabkan boikot dari 1980 Olimpiade karena Perang Soviet-Afganistan.)

“Aku ingat pulang dari gym tinju saya pada Maret 14, 1980 dan mendengar berita tentang kecelakaan pesawat di berita malam,” Direktur menyatakan USA Boxing Executive Mike McAtee.

“Sebagai calon gaya Olimpiade petinju saya terkejut dan merasa rasa kehilangan seperti setiap petinju Amerika, Pelatih dan resmi. Hari ini kita diingatkan bahwa hidup ini berharga, dan setiap hari adalah berkat. Atas nama Dewan USA Tinju Direksi, 48,000 petinju, pelatih dan pejabat dan staf kantor nasional kita ingat 1980 Anggota Tim Tinju Amerika Serikat dan Staf. Harap menjaga mereka, keluarga mereka dan gaya Olimpiade tinju keluarga di seluruh dunia dalam pikiran dan doa-doa.”

**“Bawah Tapi Tidak Out… Hilang Tapi Tidak Lupa”**

USA Boxing Pelatih Kepala Billy Walsh ingat kecelakaan itu sampai hari ini. “Saya ingat dengan baik, seperti aku bermimpi 16 tahun dari Olimpiade,” kata Walsh. “Itu berita besar di Eropa, tragedi besar dengan beberapa terbaik petinju dunia dan staf dihapuskan. Kami kehilangan generasi pejuang besar, dan yang paling penting orang-orang terkasih.”

Patricia Chavis baru berusia tujuh tahun ketika dia belajar ayahnya, sgt. Elliott Chavis, telah tewas dalam kecelakaan itu. Dia bermain di luar dengan teman-teman ketika ia melihat banyak orang menangis saat mereka memasuki dan meninggalkan rumahnya. Ibunya memanggilnya dalam, mendudukkannya dengan orang-orang menonton, dan mengatakan bahwa ayahnya tidak datang kembali karena ia telah tewas dalam kecelakaan pesawat.

“Dia bertanya apakah aku mengerti dan aku, karena kita baru saja kehilangan nenek besar dan kakek dari pihak ayah,” sebuah Patricia emosional menjelaskan. “Aku kembali di luar dan mengatakan kepada teman-teman saya. Mereka sedikit lebih tua dan mereka tidak mengerti mengapa aku tidak tinggal di dalam dengan keluarga. Itu tidak benar-benar memukul saya bahwa ayah saya tidak pulang ke rumah sampai tahun remaja saya. Saya ingat duduk di tempat tidur dan menulis surat kepadanya.

“Setiap tahun masih mempengaruhi saya setiap bulan Maret. Kami biasanya memiliki makan malam keluarga dengan ibu dan cucu-cucu saya. Mereka mendengarkan cerita tentang seorang pria yang mereka tidak pernah bertemu. Dia dimakamkan di Carolina Selatan dan kami telah meletakkan bunga di makamnya. Setiap tahun pada bulan Maret 14^th itu membawa kenangan kembali dan kami merayakan hidupnya.”

sgt. Chavis, yang meninggal pada usia 25, ditempatkan di Ft. Bragg (N.C.), di mana ia belajar kotak. Dia adalah anggota dari 118^th Militer Perusahaan Polisi dan selama karir tinju, kelas berat ringan adalah All-Angkatan Darat dan All-Tenggara.

“Orang tua saya menikah muda,” patricia terus. “Ibuku bilang dia selalu atletik. Ia bermain sepak bola dan merupakan pelompat tiang di tim trek di sekolah tinggi. Tapi aku tidak tahu apa-apa tentang tinju sampai kami pergi ke reuni di Ft. Bragg. Sekitar 30^th ulang tahun aku berhubungan dengan beberapa teman Angkatan Darat ketika aku melihat di Facebook bahwa mereka sedang mengalami reuni. Aku pergi ke sana dengan ibu saya dan mendengarkan cerita mereka mengatakan kepada saya tentang karir tinju. Saya menemukan begitu menarik karena saya tidak tahu tentang itu. Ada beberapa peringatan yang pernah kulihat di Facebook dan saya mencoba untuk berhubungan dengan anggota keluarga yang lain (rekan tim ayahnya yang meninggal dalam kecelakaan itu). Kami tidak akan pernah lupa!”

Bulan Maret 10, 2020 FNU47 Tinggalkan komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Maret 9, 2020) – By any standards, DIRI KITA. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, amatir dan profesional.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsMike Tyson danShannon Briggs, Bowe started boxing at 13 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.

“I wanted to do everythingMuhammad Ali did,” Bowe explained why he got into boxing. “He was my idol. I wanted to join the Marines, but I fell in love with boxing and stayed with it. I forgot about the Marines.”

Bowe developed his craft and became an outstanding boxer, kompilasi 104-18 catatan amatir, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea Selatan.

A four-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Bowe also captured top honors at the 1986 Junior World Championships, along with a bronze medal at the 1987 Pan American Games, despite fighting in his final match with a fractured hand he hid from his coaches.

Bowe had a rivalry withRobert Salters, with whom he split four matches, but he defeated Salters, 3-2, di luar AS. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedRoy Jones, Jr., Ray Mercer, Kennedy McKinney danAndrew Maynard.

Controversary surrounded his Olympic championship fight against future World heavyweight champion, Canadian super heavyweight Lennox Lewis, who returned home with the Olympic gold medal. During his fight with Lewis, Bowe was deducted a point for a “ghost” head butt that never happened, and the referee gave Bowe a pair of disputed standing-eight counts, the last of which resulted in the stoppage of the fight in Lewis’ favor.

“That fight never should have been stopped,” Bowe commented. “I’m still happy about winning a silver medal. I still have it. And then I turned pro. My mother had 13 kids and I wanted to make my mother happy. I wanted to buy her a house. That’s what inspired me to box.”

“Bowe’s success as an amateur and professional has made him a household name amongst USA Boxing Alumni,"KataChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His combination of power and skill, along with his legendary battles with other USA Boxing Alumni at the pro ranks, establishes him as one of the greatest fighters that USA Boxing has ever produced.”

Bowe later avenged his lone pro loss to Holyfield, winning two of three fights with the “Real Deal.”

“I’m very happy with my pro career,” Bowe added. “I beat Holyfield two times and I think it should have been three. I’m not a sore loser, but I was the World heavyweight champion. How did he win that fight? The challenger needs to take the belt from the champion, and he didn’t do that. I thought I won by a point, at worst, maybe it should have been a draw, but I shouldn’t have lost the fight. I did become the first to ever knockout Holyfield. My pro career wasn’t too bad. I kept working hard and became two-time World heavyweight champion.”

Saat Ini 51 and living in Maryland, Bowe has some advice for the American boxers trying to qualify for the 2020 Team USA Boxing Olympic Team.

“Just don’t think about it,” stressed Bowe, sounding like a Nike commercial. “Just do it! It worked for me. I showed up and didn’t think about it. And always finish strong.”

Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2015, left his mark in amateur and pro boxing. Nobody can ever take that away from the big guy from Brownsville.

1988 Peraih medali emas Olimpiade "Merciless" Ray Mercer Melihat kembali pengalaman Olimpiade-nya

Februari 17, 2020 FNU47 Tinggalkan komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Februari 11, 2020) - Tiga puluh dua tahun setelah dia meraih medali emas Olimpiade, "Tanpa ampun" Ray Mercer dengan penuh kasih mengingat pengalaman Olimpiade-nya seperti bulan lalu. Mercer, yang merupakan satu-satunya juara kelas berat Amerika yang mengalahkan semua lawan Olimpiade-nya, kemudian menjadi juara dunia kelas berat sebagai profesional untuk "kelas berat ganda" kami.

Untuk Mercer, semuanya dimulai di Jerman, dimana AS-nya. Unit tentara berbasis. Ditawarkan kesempatan untuk menghindari latihan lapangan selama 30 hari, Mercer menerima tawaran untuk menjadi mitra tanding bagi juara tinju kelas berat di pos tersebut.

Juara kelas berat Angkatan Darat dan Antar-layanan.

Program Atlet Kelas Dunia (WCAP), di mana atlet yang memenuhi syarat memiliki kesempatan untuk berlatih penuh waktu untuk Olimpiade, tidak ada saat itu, atau aturan kualifikasi Olimpiade hari ini. Mercer mengalahkan juara dunia kelas berat di masa depanTommy Morrison di babak pembukaan 1988 Ujian Olimpiade dan titlist kelas berat dunia masa depan lainnya, Michael Bentt (5-0) di final kejuaraan. Pada 1988 USA Olympic Box-offs di Caesars Pala yang terkenal

apa di Las Vegas, Mercer memenangkan keputusan terpisah (3-2) tentang Bentt, tetapi Mercer telah memenuhi syarat untuk bertarung di Olimpiade dengan menjadi AS. Juara Angkatan Bersenjata.

“Saat saya di Angkatan Darat, Saya harus menang dalam pelayanan, memelihara sesuatu, dan lanjutkan ke langkah berikutnya,Mercer ingat. “Saya harus mengalahkan beberapa petarung yang bagus dalam perjalanan ke Olimpiade, dan saya dalam kondisi terbaik dalam hidup saya. Ada lebih banyak disiplin pada para amatir daripada para profesional. Tahun terakhir sebelum Olimpiade, Saya meninggalkan unit rumah saya, sering bepergian untuk bertarung, dan tinggal di rumah pelatih saya alih-alih tinggal di barak.

Mercer membuat sejarah di 1988 Olimpiade di Seoul, Korea Selatan, ketika ia menjadi dan tetap menjadi satu-satunya juara kelas berat Olimpiade dari Amerika Serikat yang mengalahkan keempat lawannya: Rudolf Gavenciak (Cekoslowakia - RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Italia - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Belanda - RSC2) danHyun-Man yang baik (Korea Selatan - KO1).

“Saya tahu saya harus mengalahkan Korea Selatan di final,Mercer mengakui. “Saya hanya ingin melakukan apa yang saya bisa untuk menjadi peraih medali emas Olimpiade. Saya tidak berpikir saya menggunakan jab.

“Memenangkan medali emas Olimpiade menghasilkan beberapa perubahan besar bagi saya. Saya menjadi seorang selebriti, nama rumah tangga, dan itu memungkinkan saya menghasilkan uang sebagai seorang profesional. Hal terbaik yang pernah terjadi pada saya adalah memenangkan medali emas Olimpiade, bahkan lebih dari memenangkan gelar dunia sebagai seorang profesional. Tidak ada apa-apanya dibandingkan dengan menjadi peraih medali emas Olimpiade. Saya mencapai impian saya. Saya tidak pernah bermimpi menjadi profesional, sampai setelah saya memenangkan medali emas.

“Sangat penting untuk memenangkan medali emas itu. Saya berjuang dengan hati saya; tidak ada uang yang terlibat, dirayakan begitu keras malam itu (setelah memenangkan medali emas) bahwa saya kehilangan medali saya selama beberapa jam. Mimpiku menjadi kenyataan, tangan saya gemetar, dan saya kehilangan medali saya. Malam yang indah!"

Mercer menawarkan anggota 2020 Sedikit nasihat bagi Tim Kualifikasi Olimpiade Tinju AS, "Terus berjuang, ikuti mimpimu dan ambil langkah terakhir itu. "

Mercer, yang lahir di Jacksonville, Florida, membuat debut profesionalnya yang sangat dinantikan 1989, hentiJesse McGhee di babak ketiga pertarungan mereka di Atlantic City. "Merciless" memenangkan yang pertama 18 perkelahian pro, termasuk KO ronde kesembilanFrancisco Damiani, diikuti dengan pertahanan yang sukses melawan Morrison, yang terhenti di ronde kelima.

Lima dari delapan kekalahan dalam karirnya terjadi pada juara dunia: Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko,Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield danShannon Briggs.

“Ray mewakili semua yang membuat USA Boxing bangga,"KataChris Cugliari, Direktur Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS. “Sebagai seorang veteran Angkatan Darat, Peraih medali emas Olimpiade, dan juara kelas berat dunia, dia telah menunjukkan keunggulan dan profesionalisme yang mencerminkan yang terbaik dari apa yang ditawarkan USA Boxing. ”

Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS

Pertandingan ganda Kuba, di mana Mercer dua kali mengejutkan Savon, yang bertahan tanpa menderita kerusakan tambahan hanya karena wasit Kuba melakukan intervensi yang dipertanyakan yang memberi waktu kepada rekan senegaranya untuk pulih dan kontroversial 2-1 kemenangan.

“Dan dia memberiku hitungan delapan tanpa alasan,Mercer menambahkan. “Saya mengalahkan orang itu dan dia tahu itu. Kami tetap berhubungan meskipun dia tidak bisa berbahasa Inggris. Dia memiliki teman yang menerjemahkan dan kami berhubungan di Facebook. Kami saling menyukai. ”

Kelas bulu Tinju AS Andrea Medina semakin dekat closing 2020 Tempat Olimpiade di Tokyo

Februari 11, 2020 FNU47 Tinggalkan komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Februari 10, 2020) – Coming off consecutive runner-up finishes in major tournaments, USA Boxing featherweightAndrea Medina is within one tournament of representing her country in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Pada bulan Desember, the 20-year-old Medina lost a split decision toLupe Gutierrez pada 2020 DIRI KITA. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing, dan 4-1 untukIulia Tsyplakova (Ukraina) last month at the Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria. The Chula Vista, California boxer was recently named to USA Boxing’s Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Boxing Qualification Team.

“Placing second at the trials only made me more eager to get that Olympic Qualification spot,” Medina said. “I just wanted to show USA Boxing that I was the one to represent at 57 kilograms. I am only going to get better and I cannot wait to show the world everything that I got.

“For it (Strandja) being my first ever international tournament, I was very proud of how far I got in the tournament and getting that silver medal. I was very happy with all my performances and I am excited to get back to work on things I need to improve on. Aside from all that, going to a different country was awesome and I can’t wait to travel more doing what I love the most.”

Medina and her Team USA stablemates are currently training in Colorado Springs at the state-of-the-art United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center. To qualify for participation in this year’s Olympic Games, Medina needs to finish among the top three in the 57-kilogram (125 lbs.) division at the America’s Qualification Tournament, March 26-April 3, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. One final opportunity at the World Qualifier in Paris, Perancis, in which she could qualify for the Olympics by placing among the top five.

“It means the world to me to be on the USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team,” Medina added. “It is everything I have been working for since I started competing at eight years old and I cannot believe the Olympic Games are only in a few months. Making history in San Diego by being the first person to make the Olympic Team for boxing is a big deal for my family, my city and myself. I cannot express how excited I am to have come this far, but there is still so much to do, and I am ready.

“I feel that I work better under pressure and I truly believe that I will qualify for Tokyo, whether it be in Argentina or France, but my main goal, sekarang juga, is to train hard to get that gold in Argentina.”

Medina believes her major strength inside the ring is her ability to adjust during a fight. She prefers fighting on the outside, but she can brawl if needed, because she enjoys throwing a lot of power punches.

Medina also realizes that she’s in a prime place regarding the rising popularity of female boxing, following in the USA Boxing footsteps of two-time Olympic gold medalistClaressa Shields and Olympic bronze medalistMarlen esparza, along with past USA Olympians such asQueen Underwood danMikaela Mayer.

“Female boxing is only going to get bigger,” Medina predicted. “Being a female fighter today means a lot to me, because I have been doing this for 15 tahun sekarang, and seeing it grow year after year only shows how strong females are and what we can accomplish. I predict that, in the future, boxing will not be seen as a man’s sport, but will be neutral for both men and women.”

Competing at the Olympics has been a life-long dream for Medina, but she also has plans for her immediate future.

“Reaching the Olympics has been my main goal throughout my boxing career,” Andrea remarked, “so now that it is so close makes me want to work even harder. Other goals of mine are to graduate from college and get my own condominium, which I will do after all this is over.

“I plan on turning pro after the Olympics, most likely at the beginning or middle of 2021, so I can finish school and give my body some rest and recovery.”

Andrea Medina is so close to being an Olympian and everything associated with that accomplishment that she can practically reach out and feel it. Just one more step, whether in Buenos Aires or Paris, and it’ll be mission accomplished for her.
