being :ITA under IOC's blackmail because of the 2026 Winter Olympics, our NOC's President, Giovanni Malagò (also IOC member), said earlier Today that the Government is ready to allow :RUS and :BLR atheltes to enter the Italian territory for all the sports competitions held in our Country, especially those who should take part into the World Fencing Championships in Milan at the end of July.

 

by the way, they will be allowed only according to the IOC rules, which means complete neutrality and not being part of Russian clubs related to the National Army nor to the companies currently sanctioned by EU and/or UN*.

 

and no teams (which is a bad blow for them in terms of Olympic qualification, since it's based mainly on the team events).

 

*Sofya Pozdniakova, daughter of the great Stanislav (now President of the Russian OC), is among those who won't be allowed to compete in any case (the only -big- name of Russian fencing made by Malagò after today's press conference).

according to russian news sites, trio Pozdniakova-Velikaya-Yegoryan isn't eligible for competitions

yes, all the athletes registered for CSKA/SKA are not eligible, as they aren't those registered for clubs owned by the sanctioned companies like Gazprom and many more.

2020 OG bronze medallist in high jump :BLR Maksim Nedasekau gets the visa & residence in Poland ban - a decision made by our Foreign Ministry (more related to another hard labor camp sentence for Polish minority in Belarus leader Andrzej Poczobut but the war is still mentioned).

20-year old ice hockey player Maxim Sergeev has been arrested by our counterintelligence agency (ABW) as alleged member of a Russian spying ring :coffee:

 

He played 23 games for Zagłębie Sosnowiec last season.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
