💥🥊

supposed to be in time for the Paris Olympics but I wasn't able to finish it then 😵‍💫

Since people are talking about Olympic women’s boxing for all the dumb reasons, let’s try to talk about the cool stuff going on this year.

The best boxer on the women’s side at the 2024 Games is arguably Busenaz Surmeneli. A 2020 Olympic gold medalist, the 26 year old from Turkey is looking to join Claressa Shields and Nicola Adams as the only women to repeat gold medals at the Olympics. She’s a 2x world champion, a champion at the Euro Games, and Euro boxing champ. She’s set to fight in the quarterfinals against Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng.

I said Surmaneli is the arguable best fighter at the games because there is another elite boxer competing - Ireland’s Kellie Harrington. Another gold medalist from the 2020 Games, Harrington is the heir to Katie Taylor’s amateur dominance for Ireland. Harrington is an accomplished amateur with world championship medals, euro championship medals, and euro games medals. She’s got wins over people like professional world champions like Caroline Dubois, Maiva Hamadouche, Beatriz Ferreira, and more. Fantastic boxer. Set to face off with Beatriz Ferreira on Saturday (Aug 3) in the semifinal for women’s 60 KG. Which is a fantastic fight.

This year, the Refugee Olympic Team’s flagbearer was a woman named Cindy Ngamba. Originally from Cameroon, the young woman lives in the UK. She was forced to flee Cameroon as a teenager and picked up boxing in the UK at 15. She’s been unable to secure citizenship or a VISA. After coming out as lesbian at 18, it was determined they couldn’t send her back to Cameroon because it is illegal in the country. While Cindy wasnt considered a big favorite, she won her round of 16 bout against 3rd ranked Tammara Thibeault of Canada. One more win would secure her a medal at women’s 75kg!

Over in women’s 57 kg, we have Ashleyann Lozada. Lozada is the first woman to make it to the Olympics from Puerto Rico! Nesthy Petecio became the first woman to ever medal at the Olympics for the Philippines in boxing (and 2nd ever) when she won silver back in Tokyo. She’s announced she will retire after this Olympic cycle and is looking to give the Philippines only its 2nd gold medal ever! There are so many personal stories that I could go into. Hell, everyone is talking about Imane Khelif but not her story. She grew up rural village in Algeria, selling scrap metal so she could get bus fare to make it to the gym. Marcelat Sakobi, of Congo, used her exit in the round of 32 to remind everyone that there is an ongoing genocide happening in Congo.

20-year-old Julia Szeremeta won against Nesthy Petecio and progressed to the final of the Olympic boxing tournament as the first athlete from Poland since 1980 🥊

TW: TRANSPHOBIA

since people are being insane about this again here's Lin Yu Ting losing to Nesthy Petecio in round of 16 at the 2020 Olympics in spite of the pretty big hight difference between the two:

would you look at that damn it's almost like this whole thing is pure bullshit:

and both Lin and Khelif are just regular, beatable women, who have lost to other women before, and just trained hard and improved a lot in order to do better this year, since the BOTH lost in 2020.

it's almost like that's what athletes are supposed to do? train hard and do better and better everytime?

let me know if i need to post Imane's losses too, her fight with Kellie Harrington was genuinely no match so... again... these are biological women who just train hard and are good fighters. It's all there is. Every woman like Angela Carini e now Svetlana Staneva are just sore losers

and don't even get me started on the twitter discourse right now because people are being INSANE and TRANSPHOBIC to the max to two women who aren't even trans, this is nothing but propaganda and it's scary how many completely fabricated posts and articles about entierly untrue things i keep seeing

Gemini by Sponge Cola

well actually

A lot of characters, significant events or relationships. have an attached SC song to them--especially for "Gemini", each of the seven main characters have a corresponding song that represents what or who they are in the story. Rock gets one of the coolest songs, and one of my personal favorites, from the band's discography. It's such a cool song and one of the cool images I keep imagining about it is redrawing the album from where it comes from--and I just found out the cover's from a re-release and isn't what's on wikipedia. Here's the cover I'm referencing. My first thought was to draw Rock with Roll and Auto, since I keep thinking that Yael is wearing slippers (writer's note: what most Americans refer to as flipflops), which is hilarious but really homey. It's a very cute image but it doesn't make much sense to me since neither Roll nor Auto ever appear in story (writer's note: but what if they do...? HMMM. Nah. There was that one comic where he makes a phone call.) I switched to putting Jewel and Splash Wo, and that kinda makes thematic sense since they're not part of the band setup and they're all Light robots. But the effect is vaguely threatening, since they're not really on the same side as far motivations go--to me anyway, then again none of them really are truly on anyone's side for the most part. Roll and Auto works because the song, in the context of the story and Rock's character in it, is about him charging (writer's note: lol) ahead and overcoming everything, so the feeling is he's really apart from everything else. It's why the slight bird's eye view where Yael is stepping just a little forward from Armo and Gosh fits for me. With Roll and Auto, he's with family; with anyone else, he'd be with enemies (writers note: spoilers but no one cares about it except me so :V)

Rock's song is why I designated him the drummer which is a personal funny reference about this album cover and band history that I didn't notice for years. I'll write about it if I ever redraw this idea properly than just sketching for warmups.

Then I tried out switching in the Ballade and Charge since they're the band equivalents and it won't make a difference to anyone else but it's really not working with the concept. It's kinda funny though.

"Puso" was used as boxer Nesthy Petecio's entrance music during her semifinals and finals bouts at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

It really is the coolest song!!!

4 golds sinikwat ng Pinoy boxers sa Spain

Headliner si Nesthy Petecio sa tagumpay na kampanya ng Philippine team sa 2024 Boxam Elite Tournament sa La Nucia, Spain noong nakaraang linggo.

Apat na gold ang iniuwi ng Pinoy boxers tampok ang panalo ni Tokyo Olympics silver medalist Petecio kay Hsiao Wen Huang ng Chinese Taipei sa final ng women’s featherweight division.

Top podium finishers din sa kani-kanilang division sina Aira Villegas, Rogen Ladon at Hergie Bacyadan. Parehong pamato ng Kazakhstan ang tinalo nina Villegas at Bacyadan.

Dinomina ni Villegas si Nazym Kyzaibay sa gold medal match ng women’s flyweight.

Tinalo ni Bacyadan, ipinagmamalaki ng Taloctoc, Tanudan, Kalinga, si Gulsaya Yerzhan sa women’s middleweight.

Hindi pinaporma ni Ladon, gold medalist noong 2018 Asian Games sa Indonesia, si Istvan Szaka ng Hungary sa final ng men’s flyweight class.

Biyaheng Italy at Thailand ang Pinoy boxers para sumabak sa Olympic Qualifying Tournaments. Si Eumir Marcial pa lang ang Filipino boxer na nag-qualify na sa 2024 Paris Games.
