To test the mood ahead of the first Games to allow professional boxers, AFP interviewed three Brazilian team members, all from the northeastern state of Bahia, which some compare to Latin America’s boxing hub Cuba: Adriana Araujo, 34, a lightweight and Brazil’s only female medalist (bronze) in 2012. Joedison Teixeira, known as Chocolate, 22, middleweight. Robenilson de Jesus, 28, bantamweight, a quarter-finalist in 2012. MEDAL CHANCES? Araujo: “No one goes out hoping for a bronze or silver medal. We all want to be champion. The training is hard- er than the actual fight. We suffer to become champions.” Chocolate: “I was the first Brazilian champion in the 2013 World Boxing Championships and since then, expecta- tions have been raised. Last year I won bronze at the Pan-American Games and at the end of 2015, I won the Olympic trials where you had high-ranked fighters, including several boxers who’d already qualified. “I don’t feel much pressure because these are my first Olympics and so I’m going to do my best with a decent chance of a medal on the horizon.” De Jesus: “I came close to a medal in London.

Fingers crossed for good weather for the fete on the 6th when there will be all the usual stalls and fun, including a dog show, music from Oldland Brass and the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Bitton, an art exhibition, cream teas, the return of the Companions of the Longbow and displays by a martial arts group. There is also the chance to see the tree carver at work as he creates the Bitton Owl tree sculpture in the Glebe Field. And why not enter the Great Bitton Bake Off to be judged by Janet Ballinger - the recipe is on page 18. Our new vicar Jeremy, who is on our front cover (thank you Liz Midgley for the photo), will be opening the fete at 2pm. We were all cheering on Bitton’s swimming star Siobhan- Marie O’Connor as she won six medals at the Commonwealth Games, as well as gymnast Claudia Fragapane, a former pupil at The Meadows Primary School, who won four golds.
