I read today that China didn't take here their full squad, opting to save players for the Asian Games. Maybe that can explain their dismal performance so far.

 

 

It would make sense, since Asian Games are an Olympic Qualifier

Our team is beyond pathetic.

13 PC no goal, opponent 1 shot and it's goal :facepalm:this tournament is probably going to be the worst disappointment of argentine sport since football WC 2002.

 

and now you have to face NZL in the cross-over to the quarterfinals (with AUS waiting for the winner of that)...

not an easy route, then...

meanwhile, since GBR wasted their chance to win their preliminary group (and assuming they end up 2nd, not making any "trick" to go down to a more favourable 3rd position), we could have a bracket with ITA (I don't see them winning against NED, even if the Dutch girls fall asleep on the pitch during the game) vs USA (this US team :whistle:) or IND...and the winner of that going against IRL in the quarterfinals, which means that almost surely we're going to have a big time surprising team in the top 4 at the end of the tournament...

p.s. very entertaining game last night between AUS and NZL...

and people compaine how competitive is women's water polo :p

I do think this is, generally speaking, not even remotely comparable with the barrage of 15/20+ margins in the water polo :p

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
