Italy at The 1924 Summer Olympics - Boxing

Boxing

Sixteen boxers represented Italy at the 1924 Games. It was the nation's second appearance in the sport. Italy was one of four nations (along with France, Great Britain, and the United States) to have two boxers in each of the eight weight classes; Italy was the only one of those four to not win any boxing medals. Castellenghi and Saraudi advanced to the semifinals in their weight classes, but both were beaten there and neither contested the bronze medal match.

Famous quotes containing the word boxing:

    “I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
    —Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    “... to paint with oil paints for the first time ... is like trying to make something exquisitely accurate and microscopically clear out of mud pies with boxing gloves on.”
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
