Moldovan boxers will not make it to Olympics. First time in 20 years
No Moldovan boxer has managed to qualify to participate in the Rio Olympic Games, after a tournament in Baku.
Moldova sent 9 sportspeople there. The Moldovan boxer staying on, Alexei Zavatin, has been ousted by an Irish pugilist.
Dumitru Galagoţ has been close to get a ticket for Rio, but lost the decisive fight with a Greek boxer.
The Moldovan boxers have attended all the Olympics since 1996, and even managed to win two bronze medals.
