The Caribbean Games, which were postponed last year due to the restrictions of the global pandemic, are scheduled from June 29 to July 3 in seven sports: Athletics, 3×3 Basketball, Cycling, Futsal, Judo, Netball, and Swimming.

From
that the pandemic began, Guadalupe has registered nearly 148,000 infections and more than 935 deaths.
The Caribbean in general shows an optimistic outlook compared to last year and favorable for the successful celebration of the Games. Precisely the anticovid health protocols occupied an important part of medical care,
in general, anti-doping control, accreditations, transportation, accommodation and sports and visa. During
the tour of the venues of the Games, the visitors verified the conditions of what will be the Sports Village, a hotel complex in Sainte-Anne capable of accommodating the thousand athletes.
Each head of the delegation had a BILATERAL MEETING with the organizers that made it possible to meet a
initial estimate of competitors and the disciplines to register. Several of the participating countries will compete immediately after at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, from July 28 to August 8.

A LOOSE ‘TIP’: On My Website, on Friday, April 8, 2022, I Received a Press Release, from the AMA/
WADA, chaired by WITOLD BANKA, from its Head Office in Montreal, Canada, Titled. “WADA calls on ATHLETES and the global anti-doping community to ‘PLAY FAIR FOR PEACE.’ today the agency
World Anti-Doping (WADA) celebrates Play Fair Day 2022 and, this year, together with athletes, national and regional anti-doping organizations, sports federations, organizers of major events, governments and others
Anti-doping stakeholders, we are calling for peace in an increasingly troubled world.
WADA President Witold Bánka said: “True Play Day is traditionally dedicated to RAISING AWARENESS about the importance of protecting Clean Sport. However, in light of THE WAR IN UKRAINE, THIS YEAR WADA is calling on the WORLD ANTI-DOPING COMMUNITY and the WORLD OF SPORT AT ALL to speak up in a spirit of peace and reconciliation. Clean sport is about
of fairness, harmony and respect, three things that the world lacks at the moment. More than ever, let us unite in solidarity and ‘Let’s Play Fair for Peace’.
“We are considering postponing this year’s Fair Play Day due to Russia’s actions. But after consulting
With various stakeholders around the world, it became clear that we should use the visibility of this annual campaign on social media to promote peace and all the positive values that sport represents through its unique position in society. We support the UKRAINIAN PEOPLE and all others who live in such difficult circumstances.
Vulnerable around the world. WADA Director General OLIVIER NIGGLI said: “We invite everyone involved in FAIR SPORT in the Fair Play values of teamwork, fairness and respect. Together, we can strengthen sport as a powerful tool for solidarity and peace around the world.”
WADA Athlete Committee Chairman Ben Standford said: “Real Game Day is so important because it is an opportunity to promote the values of sport, clean sport, and integrity in sport. This year’s Play True Peace Day is even more important, as peace is something we should all work towards.
At the WADA Athlete Committee, we are dedicated to working for athletes to ensure they have rights and are part of the decision-making process on issues that affect them. So on this Fair Play day, reflect, practice clean sport, be defenders of the values of sport and, above all, promote peace.” Take note of this.
ANOTHER ‘LOOSE TIP’. From The Publisher “Around The Rings’ in the English Language”. And in the Spanish Language, “Around Los Anillas”. Another Sebastián Fest report, in Spanish, dated Sunday, April 10, was titled: “OLYMPIC BOXING- THIRTEEN NEW WEIGHT CATEGORIES will debut at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Seven MALE AND SIX FEMALE Categories obtained the APPROVAL OF THE ‘IBA’, on April 8, 2022. 2020 Tokyo Olympics – Boxing – Men’s Heavyweight – Final – Kokugkan Arena – Tokyo, Japan, 6

2024. However, the International Boxing Association must still meet the IOC’s requirements to restore the sport for the ‘LA 28’ Games. For the first time there will be GENDER parity in the number of male and female boxers participating in the Olympic Games. The event will feature a total of six divisions of
Weight for women and seven for men. The REORGANIZED Olympic divisions ARE: 50 Kgs, 54 Kgs, 57 Kgs, 60 Kgs, 66 Kgs, and 75 Kgs for the Women’s Categories. AND MALE: 51 Kgs., 57 Kgs., 63 Kgs., 71 Kgs., 80
Kgs., 92 Kgs., and +92 Kgs. In a surprise restructuring, the men’s welterweight and middleweight divisions
highly competitive divisions were merged into a single 71kg division from their original 75kg and 69kg classes.
The inclusion of more women’s weight classes from London 2012 to the Tokyo Games has raised the international profile and popularity of women’s boxing. Despite the changes brought about by the restructuring of the Olympic divisions, boxing still HAS A LONG WAY TO GO to regain its place on the IOC Games Programme. At another time I will continue talking about the changes in Boxing, and be the head of the
AIBA Umar Kremlev Serpukhov of RUSSIAN nationality, and his occupation is Sports Official. He was elected President of ‘AIBA’ by a majority of votes, (63). Do you have any opinion of what your compatriot Vladimir Putin has been doing with the Ukrainian people? Take note of this.
