    London calling: Flint boxer Claressa Shields an Olympian - finally

    Claressa Shields, the 17-year-old boxer from Flint, is headed to the London Olympics — finally — after an excruciating week in limbo at the AIBA women's world championships in Qinhuangdao, China.
    "She called me up and said, 'Coach?'" said Jason Crutchfield, Shields' coach back in Flint, where the U.S. middleweight champ has spent the last six years training at Berston Field House. "I said, 'Yeah?' Then she said, 'I'm in!'"
    And after the two got done screaming, Crutchfield said he told her, 'We got another chance at it. We're gonna take full advantage of it."
