The 17th world amateur boxing championship kicks-off in one of its hotbeds – Alma-Aty, a former capital of Kazakhstan, one of the dominant nations at unpaid ranks nowadays. The end of the tournament is pre-planned for Oct. 26.
Up to the date, Cuba leads the amateur scene with 116 medals total, including 65 gold, 28 silver and 23 bronze medals. Russia is being placed second with 20+17+18 = 55 medals, while the United States is the third, racking up 16+9+16 = 41 medals. The defunct state of the USSR is still being ranked fourth (15+12+17 = 44 medals), following by Bulgaria (8+8+18 = 34) and Romania (7+5+17 = 29), and then by the new states of Kazakhstan (6+6+12 = 24) and Ukraine (5+12+8 = 25). Interestingly, by summing up the former Soviet Republics’ ledgers with that of the original empire, one will get 55+55+90 = 200 medals, by far more than Cuba in total but less by ten in terms of gold.
