How could Olympic coach let kid not make weight?

Question

Russel Jr. will not be fighting in the Olympics because he did not make weight what do you think is it the kids fault or the coach

Answer 1

Both as they are not kids these boxer.do they get paid in the states for funds ?

The UK team sent our world champion home Frankie Gavin  yesterday well they said he was our best not sure he was but he is home now...we had 8 boxers there and i would say we had a shout of  3 golds. Now its two golds and some others may get  3rd or even 2nd if they had a bit of luck.

Well he gets £75.000 a year $150.000 a year so they dont have to turn pro this is in the UK. He wanted more and or he said im going pro..

he waited 4 years to get here how can he before over the limit by 4pounds and no way could he get close he was even if he was ill he would never get near it again..

How can this happen?

USA......Saddam Ali is a good boxer gold?

UK ...... Murray is on for a gold.

Answer 2

A UK boxer wont be fighting for the same reason. Maybe they think the Olympics is joke competition.

Answer 3

It's not the coaches fault and it may not be the kid's fault either.  A boxer knows what weight he/she needs to be, but sometimes it's very difficult to hit that goal.  Especially if you have alot of muscle.  Once you start to starve yourself to get the weight down or gorge to gain the weight, your boxing performance suffers.  Both the coach and boxer could have worked very hard to get to the goal weight, but just didn't make it in time.
