1. The Olympic Qualification System sets out an Olympic qualification process based on separate continental qualifying tournaments. The clear reference in the Olympic Qualification System to “the” continental championships of Oceania means that the Olympic pathway for Oceania national federations and their boxers must necessarily go through the annual Oceania Championships rather than through an ad hoc event. In April 2006 AIBA exercised its discretion by differentiating Oceania from the other continents and enacting, with the IOC’s approval, a clear-cut rule stating that the Oceania Championships must serve as the 2008 Olympic qualifiers.
