Ohio alumna leads
Manasseh Cutler
Scholars program
Staff Report
ATHENS — Ohio University alumna Margaux
Cowden returned to her alma mater to start her
job as the new director of the Manasseh Cutler
Scholars program, Ohio University’s premier
scholarship program.
“I’m really invested in student success and
student mentoring. That produced
a desire to be more involved in
administration,” explained Cowden,
who earned her doctoral degree in
comparative literature. “If I really
wanted to affect the educational
outcomes for students, I needed to
start playing a bigger role in shapCowden
ing the larger institution. Here was
a job offering me the opportunity to
shape the student educational experience and to
do that at a university I already love and in a town
I already love.”
Now in its 20th year, the Cutler Scholars program recruits high school seniors and selects its
students based on their intellectual curiosity,
leadership, service and character. The program
is designed to reinforce a leadership philosophy
emphasizing civic responsibility.
During the four-year scholarship program, Cutler Scholars live together, participate in a weekly
colloquium and take part in four enrichment
experiences. The enrichment experiences are
comprised of outdoor leadership, public service,
international travel and internships. In addition,
students receive a significant scholarship and a
stipend for enrichment experiences.
“As a scholars program, the Cutler Scholars program is distinct from honors programs,” explained
Cowden. “While honors programs are focused on
academic success and research, scholars programs
tend to emphasize learning outside of a traditional
academic context. This is why the Cutler Scholars program has enrichment experiences, where

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — It’s amazing
what a little soap and
water will do.
At this week’s meeting of Point Pleasant
City Council, a discussion on the flood wall
murals was had, specifically about the mystery growth which has
appeared on them over
the last few months.
Mayor Brian Billings said workers from
the street department
have been cleaning the
murals with a specific
mix of soap and water
and it appears to be
working, on the surface at least.
Street Commissioner
Randy Hall said it
was “so far, so good”
in terms of the mix

seen but there’s still a

Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA), in conjunction with

question about what
was actually accumulating on the murals and
how to prevent it from
returning.
“We don’t know what
it is,” Billings told
council, adding a staff
member from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers was to take a
sample of it to be analyzed before proceeding with a more permanent fix than soap and
water.
Hall said in observing the cleaning of the
murals, the mystery
growth seemed to be
an air contaminant as
opposed to mold, in
his opinion. Hall added
the cleaning had taken
place from 5th Street
to the restroom facilities and he hoped the
rest of the flood wall
could be done within a
week.
As reported last
60673213
month, the growth has
been appearing at the
top of the flood wall
and is black in nature.
When it rains, the
residue streaks down
the murals which cost
around $800,000 to
place at Riverfront
Park.
Main Street Point
Pleasant Director
Charles Humphreys
said the artist who
painted the murals,
Robert Dafford, was
called about the situation and he advised
washing the stains/
growth with soap and
water. It’s unclear if
using bleach or anything harsher, could
harm the murals and
no one wants to take
that chance.
The murals, a project
which began in 2005
and was completed
over five subsequent
summers, have become
a tourist attraction in
downtown Point Pleasant. The paint, which
at the time cost $200 a
gallon, came from Germany and had a 50-year
guarantee though it
was proven to last 150
years, Humphreys said.

Woman’s Club
Staff Report
BIDWELL, Ohio — Allstate agency owner Marisa Sanders recently
earned a $1,000 grant to support
Gallipolis Junior Woman’s Club.
A longtime volunteer with the
organization, Sanders joins thousands of Allstate agency owners

important social causes, such as
promoting safe driving habits
among teen drivers; raising money
for domestic violence programs;
and supporting programs that
provide youth with team building,
conflict resolution and leadership
skills.
“As a small business owner, I see
firsthand the opportunities and
challenges facing our area,” Sanders
said. “Giving back to my local community is tremendously rewarding
and gives me a sense of purpose. I
believe that when we help others,
our communities are stronger and
healthier, which is why I’m proud to
support their work. ”
Sanders is located at 935

agency owners on behalf of organizations for which they volunteer.
The grants support nonprofits
focused on teen safe driving, disaster preparedness, hunger and other
causes. This year, the foundation

Customers enjoy some lunch at the new Honey Creek Barbecue and Bistro in front of the Gallia Academy High School.
Honey Creek BBQ acquires bistro
By Dean Wright
deanwright@civitasmedia.com
CENTENARY — Honey
Creek Barbecue ownership in Rio Grande has
recently acquired the
Crossroad Bistro in front
of the Gallia Academy
High School on Centenary Road and will
now be serving some of
its smoked, grilled and
sauced products at the
location.
According to business
proprietor Rhonda Pitchford, the building where
the bistro sits was once
a church and then turned
into the Crossroad Bistro.
The previous owners of
the Crossroad Bistro were
Lee and Lisa Osborne.
“I just got to talking
to Lisa and one thing
led to another and then
(the Osbornes) were like
‘Here, it’s yours. Have a
good day,’” said Pitchford.
“It just happened at the
right time for both of us.”
Some menus items that
have not sold as well at
the bistro will be removed
and Honey Creek products will be added.
“Everything that Rio
Grande Honey Creek has,
we will have here,” said
Pitchford about the bistro
location.
Pitchford said pizza and
cheesecake would continue to be sold at the bistro.
She would also keep the
old staff. Eventually, she
would like to integrate
both staff from the old
Honey Creek location and
the bistro so employees
could be shifted about as
need arises.
“I had to meet the lady
that made the cheesecake
Emancipation Celebration donation
and she had to approve of
me before she would let
me continue,” said Pitchford.
Pitchford said she
would eventually like to
hold a buffet on Sundays
in the next few weeks.
The bistro location will
eventually boast a similar
cooker and smoker like
the equipment at the Rio
Grande store. As school
opens, the bistro may also
offer some meal deals to
students.

THEIR VIEW
Is a third-party
presidential
vote a waste?
It may swing the election away
from the greater of two evils
As the 2016 presidential election continues
to heat up between Hillary Clinton and Donald
Trump, many voters are disgusted by either
choice.
For some, the obvious option would be the
third-party candidate. But, given the level of
party awareness for the GOP and the Democrats, would a vote for the outsider be a wasted
ballot?
It’s a fair question, given all of
the conspiracy chatter that the elections are actually rigged and primary votes were mishandled. Most
people believe that the next election will be a contest to just keep
one or the other out of the White
House, depending on the voter’s
Deer in affiliation. What’s the alternative?
Headlines Are voters stuck with either the
Gery L.
lesser of the vulgar business tycoon
Deer
or the lying ex-First Lady?
There are literally dozens of
political parties active in the United States,
most of which would be considered minor organizations. Alternate parties currently considered
to be “major” include Libertarian, Greene and
the Constitution Party. At the moment, the leading third-party candidate, actually the only one
that has any publicity at all, is Libertarian representative, Gov. Gary Johnson.
What is a “Libertarian?” Put simply, a Libertarian is someone who pursues personal
freedom while upholding individual responsibility. On the surface, it’s a good philosophy. But
political libertarians can also be seen as falling
under the heading of “anarchists” because they
want to cut the level of government control to
an impractically low level.
Johnson was the 29th governor of New Mexico and, although Trump and Clinton are vastly
ahead in the polls, his numbers are climbing in
some battleground states like Florida and North
Carolina.
But lack of exposure or a cohesive platform
might make the idea of this third-party runner a
moot point. Some Libertarians make statements
contrary to the benefit of the party’s prospects.
For example, many of them believe that if they
refuse to accept donations from large contributors, they’re playing above the petty back door
dealings of mainstream politics. What it really
does, however, is negate any hope they have of
competing.
When people complain about the media coverage given to the other two major parties over
the Libertarian candidate, it really shouldn’t
matter. The fact is that the airways are available
to all parties and candidates, but that requires
money. Just like any business or product, a
party can saturate the media with paid advertising, but it costs a fortune.
Of course, there is always the belief that there
is no way a third-party candidate is viable, no
matter what his or her poll numbers might
show. Many are of the opinion that the media
and the lobbyists are actually the ones who
make or break kings and queens, and that the
voters are of no consequence. Well, we won’t be
debating conspiracy theory today.
Past elections have shown how ineffectual a
third-party candidate can be, succeeding only
to draw a few undecided votes. It’s likely that
most voters feel that a vote for any third-party
candidate would be a vote wasted — and they’re
partly right.
Casting a ballot for a third party will pull
votes from the top two, as in the case of Teddy
Roosevelt’s “Bull Moose” party in 1912. Roosevelt’s alternate party managed to come in
second, but succeeded mostly to fragment the
Republicans and served up the election to the
Democrats.
Unless there is an immediate and monumental
shift in the thinking of the American public, it’s
unlikely that Johnson, nor any other third-party
candidate, would have a significant effect on
the outcome of November’s general election.
Such a shift is doubtful, but if everyone who has
vowed not to vote because of the unpalatable
conservative or liberal choices, a victory is not
impossible.
As voters, Americans need to remember that,
barring the conspiracy nuts, every vote counts.
A few thousand votes in one district can alter
the outcome of an election, so everyone needs
to get out and cast their ballots in November.
Make sure every voice is heard.
At the very least, it may swing the election
away from the greater of two evils.

— Heavyweight Evgeny Tishchenko’s gold-medal victory
over Vassiliy Levit in a widely
criticized decision is likely to
be a catalyst for change during
the International Boxing Association’s next evaluation of its
judging.
AIBA executive board
member Tom Virgets told The
Associated Press on Tuesday
that while he wouldn’t offer a
personal opinion on the decision, he expects the sport’s
judging criteria to evolve
before the 2020 Olympics.
“Every fight will be analyzed, some with a stronger
eye than others,” Virgets said.
Tishchenko won heavyweight gold Monday night
even though the Russian
backed up and appeared to
struggle throughout his bout
with the smothering Levit,
a relentless Kazakh power
puncher with a thrilling style.
All three judges favored
Tishchenko 29-28, drawing
gasps and boos from the loudly
pro-Levit crowd in Rio. The
fans lustily booed the decision
and jeered Tishchenko as he
accepted his gold medal.
While Virgets outlined the
reasons why the three randomly selected judges from
Ireland, Colombia and Algeria
likely scored the bout for Tishchenko under the current scoring criteria, the veteran boxing coach and executive also
made it clear AIBA had taken
note of the worldwide reaction
to the result.
“We’re not through with our
changes,” Virgets said. “We’re
going to continuously improve
the sport of boxing, and over
the next four years, I think you
will see things that are going
to make it clearer for everyone
to understand what our criteria is, and to be able to more
clearly define the boxer who
wins.”
Virgets’ interview with the
AP was AIBA’s only public
comment Tuesday on the decision, which outraged boxing
figures and vocal fans on social
media. Irish bookmaker Paddy
Power even agreed to pay bettors as if Levit had won.

Rebels lose
TVC match to
Miller, Belpre
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The young South
Gallia High School golf team lost a triangular Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division
match on Tuesday, dropping a 30-shot decision
against Belpre and a 25-stroke outcome against
Miller.
On the Rebels’ home course of Cliffside Golf
Club in Gallipolis, Belpre bested South Gallia
212 to 242, while Miller shot a 217 total.
The Rebels, which lost their openers on Friday against both Eastern and Waterford, are
0-4 in the TVC-Hocking.
On Tuesday, South Gallia was led by medalist runner-up Curtis Hanner, who shot a 47.
Hanner, who has played golf for three years
for the Rebels, is the team’s only returning
player from a year ago.
The other four golfers are all first-year players — sophomore boys Bryce Nolan and Ethan
Smith and freshmen girls Mackenzie Martin
and Aaliyah Howell.
Nolan added a 57, while the other two scores
for the four-person Rebels were 69s.
Belpre had all four of its players shoot in the
50s, paced by Jeremiah Stitt with an even 50.
Maddie Roby added a 52, followed by the
other two Golden Eagles shooting a 55.
Seven Falcons represented Miller, but only
the top four scores counted towards the team
total.
Hunter Dutil was the match medalist with a
45, followed by Blane Needham and Trey Hettich with a pair of 54s.
Bernie Dutil was the fifth counting card for
the Falcons with a 64.
The Rebels return to the links on Monday
(Aug. 22) for another TVC-Hocking Division
match — this one again at Cliffside Golf Club
against Southern and Federal Hocking.
Speaking of Monday, that is when the next
seven-team TVC-Ohio match will take place, as
Tuesday’s league outing at Ohio University’s
Golf Course was rained out.
That contest has been rescheduled to Thursday, Sept. 15, as Alexander is the host school.
Monday’s match will be held at Athens Country Club, with Athens as the host.
Meigs won the first league match a week ago
today (Aug. 11) at Cliffside, which was hosted
by River Valley.

Spectators exit the stands as rain delays a match between Gael Monfils of France and Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain on the fourth day
of the Western & Southern Open tennis tournament Tuesday, in Mason, Ohio.
Kerber going for No. 1 ranking
MASON, Ohio (AP)
— Angelique Kerber
has a chance to become
No. 1 at the Western
& Southern Open. The
men’s bracket is wide
open, too, providing an
opportunity for someone
outside the Big Four to
claim a Masters title.
It’s a week for the upand-comers.
Two-time defending
champion Serena Williams pulled out of the
tournament with an
inflamed shoulder, making it possible for Kerber
to overtake her in the
rankings. She would
move up to No. 1 by winning the tournament for
the first time.
Williams has been in
the top spot for 183 consecutive weeks, the second-longest such stretch
in WTA history.
“There’s a long way to
go,” Kerber said on Tuesday. “I’m not thinking
about that. Somebody
told me about that, but
I’m trying not to listen.
“Everyone dreams
about being No. 1. It
would be amazing. I
would give everything to
reach that goal.”
The men’s bracket
provides an opportunity
for second-tier players
to move up for a week.
Defending champion
Roger Federer and topranked Novak Djokovic
are sidelined by injuries,
and Andy Murray and
Rafael Nadal are still
recovering from hectic
weeks at the Olympics in
Rio de Janeiro. The four
of them have accounted
for 54 of the past 58
Masters titles.
There’s a chance for
somebody else to get a
Masters trophy on Sunday.
“I played 23 hours in
seven days,” Nadal said
on Tuesday, referring to
his Olympics stay. “My
body is a little bit tired.
Obviously it’s going to be
tough.”
Rain repeatedly interrupted the first full day
of matches on Tuesday.
Stan Wawrinka — one
of those who could benefit from the open men’s
bracket — lost the first
set to wild card Jared
Donaldson 6-2, but led
the second set 3-0 when
play was suspended for
the night because of rain.
John Isner overcame
two delays while beating
Fabio Fognini 6-3, 6-2,
aided by the Italian’s four
double faults in the second set.
Kerber opens play
on Wednesday, trying
to extend a successful
season that includes the
Australian Open championship, a Wimbledon
final, and a silver medal
in Rio.
“That was a special
week,” Kerber said of the
Olympics. “I had a lot of
experiences. The atmosphere was different than
a normal tournament. I
had a great week. I won
a medal. That was my
goal.”
Nadal had a lot of fun
in Rio, but came away
running on fumes.
The 30-year-old Spaniard missed two months
with an injured left wrist
and returned in Rio,
where he reached the
semifinals in singles — a
good showing given how
much time he was away
from the court. He’s
hoping to get in more
matches in Cincinnati
to get ready for the U.S.
Open without aggravating the wrist.
“It was not an easy
injury and it still bothers
me a little bit,” Nadal
said.
Murray beat Juan
Martin del Potro in a
wild, four-set match for
his second Olympic gold
medal on Sunday that
left him drained. Then
came the flight directly
to Cincinnati — yes, he
brought his medal along.
“The match against
Juan Martin was so up
and down, so emotional,
physical,” Murray said.
“It was a really, really
hard match, one of the
hardest matches I’ve
played.
“Doing the long trip
straight afterward was
tough. Hopefully it will
be able to rain in the
next few days.”

Stone molding falls off Ohio University stadium; fix planned
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — After a hefty
piece of stone molding
fell from the brick exterior of Ohio University’s
football stadium onto a
sidewalk, other similar
moldings have been
removed as a precaution
and work is underway to
stabilize the wall before
the team’s home opener
in early September.
No one was hurt when
the 8-inch-thick piece
— measuring about 2
½ feet by 4 feet — evidently crashed down at
the southwest corner of
Peden Stadium from a
part of the stands that
was built in 1929, the
school said in a statement. A door and a cabinet of audio and video
equipment were damaged.
The school said the
support system underneath the stone molding
apparently failed, and
areas around some of the
stands were blocked off
as a safety precaution
after the fallen stone was
discovered the morning
of July 27. University
officials think the piece
fell that morning or the
previous night and aren’t
aware of anyone having

Gene Sauers wins US Senior Open
UPPER ARLINGTON,
Ohio (AP) — A decade
after battling a rare illness that nearly killed
him and kept him off
the golf course for seven
years, Gene Sauers celebrated his first victory
on the senior tour.
Sauers closed with
a 1-under 69 and took
advantage of another collapse by Miguel Angel
Jimenez to win the raindelayed U.S. Senior Open
on Monday.
The 53-year-old from
Georgia finished with
three straight pars to go
from a one-shot deficit to
a one-shot victory over
Jimenez and Billy Mayfair at Scioto Country
Club. He finished with a
3-under 277 for the tournament.
“It hasn’t sunk in yet,”
he said. “It’s been a long
time, and I’m at a loss for
words right now.”
The victory caps an
amazing comeback for
Sauers 10 years removed
from nearly dying. He
was incorrectly diagnosed
with rheumatoid arthritis,
spent seven weeks in the
hospital and was given a
25 percent chance of survival. Eventually he was
diagnosed with StevensJohnson syndrome, a rare
disorder of the skin and
mucous membranes that
causes the skin on the
extremities to burn from
the inside out.
Some days, he couldn’t
even get off the couch.
“It means the world to
me,” he said. “I saw the
light at the end of that
tunnel, and I was heading there. The good Lord
stopped me and backed
me up and said, no,
you’re not done yet. It’s
just unbelievable to not
play golf, not touch a golf
club for seven years and
to come out and to win a
major golf tournament on
a hard golf course.”
Jimenez had a oneshot advantage going
into the final round but
again blew a lead. He
led Sauers by a stroke to
start the day but doublebogeyed the second hole,
and Sauers birdied to
overtake him. The Spaniard regained the lead
with a birdie on the 15th
hole, a two-shot swing
when Sauers made bogey,
only to bogey the 17th
hole.
They were tied on the
18th, but Jimenez missed
the green and made a
second straight bogey.
Sauers made a 5-foot par
putt to win.
Stone
stands and recommended taking off the
remaining stone moldings and making interim
repairs, according to the
university. It said those
changes, slated to be
done before the Bobcats
face Texas State on
Sept. 3, are expected to
cost about $202,000.
The university plans
to start construction in
March on a long-term
repair that is yet to be
designed but would be
scheduled for completion by this time next
year. A contractor hasn’t
been chosen for that
design and repair work,
so the cost for that
hasn’t been determined,
Pittman said.

any previous concerns
raised about the integrity of the stadium

masonry failures have
happened there previously, Pittman said.
The repair work
hasn’t affected athletic
practices or other activities, he said.
ment without a number
of outraged losing fighters claiming they were
robbed of a clear victory in their three-round
bouts.
But Tishchenko’s victory was the biggest in a
string of potentially infuriating decisions as the
tournament hits bigger
fights this week.
Irish bantamweight
world champion Michael
Conlan ripped off his
vest and made obscene
gestures at the ringside
judges after his loss to
Russia’s Vladimir Nikitin
on Tuesday. He later
denounced AIBA as corrupt and claimed judges
had been paid off by
Russia, which had several fighters eliminated
in close decisions earlier
in the tournament.
U.S. light welterweight
Gary Antuanne Russell’s decision loss to
Uzbekistan’s Fazliddin
Gaibnazarov was also
booed by the Rio crowd,
but none of the reactions
compared to the outrage
after Tishchenko’s awkward, defensive victory
over the ferocious Levit.
“(After) 213 bouts,
everyone felt pretty
good about everything,”
Virgets said. “This was
one of those bouts that
just by the nature of the
physicality of the Kazakh
boxer, it made it more
difficult for a decision to
be made. And we have
to figure out, how much
weight do you put to one
criteria over another?”

Browns CB Williams
suspended, fined
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns
have suspended cornerback K’Waun Williams for
two weeks and fined him for multiple violations of
team rules.
The team announced the suspension on Wednesday.
Williams sat out Cleveland’s first exhibition game
Friday night against the Green Bay Packers after
suffering an ankle injury the week prior at a scrimmage at Ohio Stadium in Columbus.
Though the Browns expected Williams to be
ready for the exhibition, he reportedly decided his
ankle was too sore for him to play.
The third-year cornerback hasn’t practiced for the
Browns since missing the exhibition.
Coach Hue Jackson addressed the issue after practice on Tuesday, but wouldn’t confirm any details.
”We’ll talk about that at a different time,” Jackson
said. “I just think there are a lot of mixed messages
that are going on as far as all that’s concerned. I
think we’ll deal with it, and I’m sure we’ll all talk
about it at the appropriate time.”
Ex-Syracuse star Jim Brown
to receive alumni award
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Jim Brown is being
honored by the Syracuse University Alumni Association with the 2016 Arents Award.
The award will be given Sept. 16. It’s the school’s
highest alumni award, which honors excellence in
athletics and social activism.
Brown began the Syracuse legend of No. 44 for
the Orange football team when he wore it from
1954-56. He was a four-sport star at Syracuse in
football, lacrosse, basketball and track and field. He
went on to stardom in the NFL with the Cleveland
Browns.
Brown has supported Africa-American causes,
helping to create the Negro Industrial Economic
Union in the 1960s. He also founded the Amer-ICan program in the 1980s, which helps young gang
members turn around their lives.
LeBron says he wishes he
was with US team in Rio
LeBron James misses the Olympic stage.
The Cleveland superstar, who decided to skip his
fourth Olympics after leading the Cavaliers to an
NBA title in June, said in an interview with ESPN’s
Rachel Nichols that he’s keeping an eye on his teammates at the Rio Games.
“Every time I watch ‘em I wish I was out there,”
James said in the interview, which will air Thursday.
“I did not retire from Team USA. I just did not play
this summer. So I still left the door open.”
James joined USA Basketball for the 2004 games
in Athens, where the Americans lost their opener to
Puerto Rico, dropped two more games and settled
for bronze. He returned on the 2008 Redeem Team
and won gold in Beijing and then captured another
title four years ago in London.
After leading the Cavs to an historic comeback
against Golden State, James said he needed rest and
would not play in Brazil. If he decides to return to
the national team, he would be 35 at the 2020 Tokyo
Games.
Notre Dame QBs Kizer, Zaire
will share duties vs. Texas
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame coach
Brian Kelly says DeShone Kizer and Malik Zaire

Irish open the season at Texas on Sept. 4.
Kelly said Wednesday that both have been playing
outstanding and each has been among the top five
playmakers on the team.
He said it was time to announce both would play.
He says he believes playing two quarterbacks
gives the Irish their best chance of winning.
He said he will see how they play against the
Longhorns before any other decisions.

right ankle sustained in the second game.

AIBA’s four main judging criteria, Virgets
described why the
judges likely arrived at
a decision that didn’t
reward Levit’s superior
aggression and power.
“Obviously, our judges, they were pretty consistent in the scoring,”
he said. “They obviously
followed this. Now is
that the best way? We’ll
evaluate and get better.”
Virgets felt Tishchenko
threw more scoring
blows to the proper target areas and did more
quality punching on the
inside, which he claimed
is easier to see when
watching from the judges’ seats at ringside. He
claimed many of Levit’s
big, exciting punches
“didn’t count” because
they landed “across the
side of the head” and
weren’t proper scoring
blows.
Virgets also said Levit
initiated “the majority
of the infringement of
the rules during the
bout,” including holding
and head contact. Levit
repeatedly got inside on
Tishchenko, smothering
the towering Russian
before he could even
throw a punch.
“So those combined,
obviously in the judges’
mind, it was more
important than the
physical dominance that
(Levit) was showing
through infringement
woes and lack of quality
blows,” Virgets said.
But Virgets also said
Levit clearly trounced
Tishchenko in the judging criteria of competitiveness, the most visible area to fans.
“No doubt about
it, the Kazakh boxer
showed he wanted to
win more than the Russian boxer,” Virgets said.
The heavyweight
result was even more
dismaying to fans
because AIBA has made
significant changes over
the past Olympic cycle
to make its sport more
exciting. The governing
body removed headgear
from the male boxers and moved from a
punch-counting scoring
system to a professionalstyle, 10-point system.
Both changes have been
well received in Rio.
The first nine days
of the Olympics had
been remarkably quiet
for AIBA, which never
holds a major tourna-
