Not wishing to cast asperaitions on the US track record in weightlifting, judo or boxing, but the only time the US won medals in these events in recent years was when the Warsaw Pact countries boycotted the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics

Yes and yes.. Olympics are supposed to be the best athletic competition in the world.. once you start exluding people that are good enough to be paid.. then you lose the best perfromers\n\nI like seeing how olympic athletes earn money by doing what they do.. basketball is the only one that I hate how the US handles it

Athletes don't compete in the Olympics to break records. They compete to celebrate sports, represent their countries and to win Olympic medals.\n\nSo long as there is sports, so long will the Olympic games flourish.

first you need to get registered as an anatuer boxer. then compete in tournament like the pal's, golden gloves and u.s. championships. hopefully you win one to qualify for the olympic trials.

It theoretically could be done in two years.  With prerequisites and competition for entry, people rarely are able to get it done in that time, however.

Start by getting involved in a local gold glove gym or something similar so you can box competitively.  If you get established and keep winning, you will get noticed, and will have a chance to go to olympic trials.

The Olympics have always been a world comp. the greatest athletes from all over the roman empire and parts of Europe would come to compete. wars between countries would be put on hold for the events. truly just about every country has been represented in the games.

According to analysts, China will overtake the US around 2020. India will follow. Brazil will wake up one day. And if Europeans are clever, they will keep getting together, in order to have more "weight" in the world issues...

Not this year as it isn't a Winter Olympic sport.However, it is listed as an official sport on the Olympics website so it will be part of the Olympics in 2008.

US will make it past the first round but its 50:50 after that.  Then it will be 40:60, then 20:80\nSo it looks tough for the US to proceed past the later stages

Not really, other than an occasional feature on an athlete participating that trains or regularly competes in the US for that local media.\n\nBut what can you expect ... US isn't competing, so it's only natural there wouldn't be as much interest as compared to baseball starting, NFL trades and the approaching draft, the NHL and the NBA all still going on.
