AIBA is pleased to announce that, as part of its Olympic qualification process, Mr. Simanga Shiba from Swaziland and Mr. Rolande Moses from Grenada have been selected as the two Tripartite Commission choices to participate in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
These boxers were recommended by the IOC. Based on their competitive backgrounds, AIBA accepted IOC's proposal to include these two boxers in the final 286 boxers qualified for the Olympic Games.
The Tripartite Commission, which is made up of the IOC, AIBA and BOCOG, has two vacancies at its disposal in order to respect the principle of universal representation.
