it looks that the Dutch born spiker Dick Kooy could play for Italy in the next future...

he got married with an Italian woman and now he just completed all the burocratic tasks to get the Italian citizenship...

he also said he would be happy to be part of the Italian team (he's currently playing in Russia, but he did play already in the Italian league -in Modena and Macerata, to be precise- for a few years between 2009 and 2013)...

That's almost three years old, I wonder what the 'new news' is? :p

It says Kooy won't play for the Dutch team anymore and he asked for an Italian passport to make it easier to compete in the Italian competition. Already in 2016 he was married with an Italian woman and had a house in Milan, which at that time he said is where he wanted to settle permanently.

3 years ago he said he would likely get the Italian citizenship and play for our NT...

the news is that now he finally completed the burocratic tasks and got his Italian passport, so from now he could play for Italy...:evil:

Trouble in the Dutch men's league :d 

 

Sunday, 5th and deciding match of the final between reigning champion Lycurgus of Groningen and challengers Orion of Doetinchem. Lycurgus won the first two sets and at 25-24 an ace gave them the title.....until the referee decided the ball was out :yikes: 

Not sure if the video works outside the Netherlands:

https://www.dvhn.nl/sport/Volleybalbond-erkent-foute-beslissing-arbitrage-in-kampioensduel-Lycurgus-tegen-Orion-24451346.html

 

Orion got the point, 25-25, and went on to hold on against 4 more match points in the same set, before turning it around and taking the win and the title in 14-16 final set. The Dutch federation has now said the referee's decision on match point was indeed wrong, but there is 0 chance of any replay.

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
