USA Boxing Unveils Exciting Initiative for Olympic Participants to Get Paris Ready

As the countdown to the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics begins, athletes across the globe are locking in their qualifications in multiple sports. Among them, boxers are primed for the spotlight as some of them already secured their Paris tickets with a few more spots left. Apart from qualifying for the event, teams and the authorities are taking major steps to ensure that the athletes are on top of the game.

USA boxing recently saw a major development in that direction. They have made a unique arrangement for the Paris qualifiers to give an Olympic feel before they hit the stage.

Today’s stars to hear from the former Olympians

In a recent announcement, USA Boxing took to its official Instagram account and posted a couple of pictures along with a major update. They penned, “ Calling all our Olympic alumni! We would love to have you all in Colorado Springs this summer to celebrate our @paris2024 team”. 

The former Olympians feature experience with the games, making them the most reliable people to hear from and follow. Therefore, USA Boxing is inviting all the Olympians across boxing to Colorado Springs from June 7 to June 9 to not only celebrate but also to send off the 2024 Paris Olympics roster.
