The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) has congratulated the Trinidad and Tobago Amateur Boxing Association(TTABA) on the "good job" that was done with the hosting of the recent Americas Olympic qualifier.

"While we are all disappointed that no T&T boxer qualified for Beijing,the organisation etc of the tournament was encouraging.It augurs well for the 2009 Caribbean Games" said TTOC president Larry Romany.

On the issue of qualification for the upcoming Beijing Olympics,Romany is hopeful that the lessons learned in the ring will help the local boxers in the next qualifier which will be held in Guatemala.
