Boxing Physics Rio Update

A strange little side quest

The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Boxing Physics Rio Update is anything but tiny. Boxing entered the modern Olympic Games in 1904 at St. Louis. And the history keeps stacking up: Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. That long chain of experiments is part of why combat sports still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
