(JAN 28) The ‘Battle of
Scandinavia’ was fought this weekend, at least in the boxing
ring, at the home of Oslo Bokseklubb in Jordalgata 12 in the
Norwegian capital when male and female teams from Denmark,
Finland and Sweden joined the host nation in the Four Nations
Round Robin tournament.
This has always been a keenly contested tournament and this year
proved no exception as fans enjoyed some great bouts before a
highly appreciative audience.
Sweden came ‘top of the podium’ overall (men and women's totals
combined) emerging victorious with nine points followed by
Norway with six points and Denmark with three. Finland alas on
this occasion did not defeat any of their neighbours though
insofar as the women's bouts were concerned they were hampered
by the absence of star performer, Mira Potkonen. Three points
were awarded for a win, one point for a draw and of course no
points for a lost encounter.
The Norwegian women were the stars of the female bouts with
Ingrid Egner, Fam Elgan and Marielle V. Hansen each going
through the three day event, undefeated. Hansen had been in
excellent form at the recent Boras Box Cup event in Sweden and
again was in fine form here being nominated as Norway’s leading
female boxer of the tournament . The Swedish award went to
Linnea Strandell, that for Denmark to Diana Nadim and for
Finland, to the 60kg lightweight, Cecilia Nilsson.
In Sunday’s Final Team Match, the Swedes defeated Norway 4:3. As
the Swedish team were short of a 54kg female boxer, Norway’s
Camilla Johansen from Raufoss actually represented Sweden in
this tournament, and enjoyed wins over Denmark and Finland
losing only against her fellow countrywoman Marielle V.Hansen.
Our grateful thanks to Norges Bokseforbund for the results from
the tournament which was as always extremely well organised by
the Norges Bokseforbund in collaboration with the famous Oslo
Boxeklubb, one of whose most famous fighters was of course one
Cecilia Brækhus, recently voted by Ring Magazine as their female
Pro. Boxer of 2012 and who has been for the past three years
WBAN’s European Fighter of the Year.
