00:00Our rules are based on 2016 rules, and they were used for Tokyo, so they were used in
00:06the last Olympic Games.
00:08That remains the eligibility criteria which has been strictly applied.
00:15And just to remind everyone, as I said yesterday, that these athletes competed in Tokyo, they've
00:22been competing in boxing for a very, very long time.
00:24They've reached all the eligibility rules in terms of sex and age via their passports.
00:34Very little more I can add, that we are following the rules that were already in place for 2016
00:40and 2020.
