I'm on a GO Train and probably looked like a madman during that race.

    • it's always all about the "USSR-alike" methods used by the coaching duo Maccarani/Tishina at their National Academy   now some leaked phone calls have shown the former Federation's president commenting on the girls with sexist expressions and things like that   moreover, it's been discovered that also Raffaeli and Baldassari were treated like the team by their coach Julieta Cantalupi, forced to get naked in public after missing some exercise in training or kept for hours closed in a dark and cold small room in punishment after a not satisfactory training section   basically, all the Italian stars of the Rhythmic Gymnastics have come to success only after and possibly because of unacceptable humiliation by the coaches, which looks to be the usual attitude also among the youngsters and the "amateur" clubs   Italian Rhythmic Gymnastics is a dirty, sick world     now the Group is basically not active and doesn't go to the next world cup stages, Baldassarri has retired and Raffaeli looks to be happy with her new coach (the Goddess herself, Claudia Mancinelli) after Cantalupi ran away like a rabbit to Israel in Autumn 2023 after the first rumors about the scandals came out
    • 71.48 thrower Alex rose joins the meet[this result from last year was NOT done in Ramona].
    • four off the seven remaining women in the world discus invitational list were accepted into the comp today.
    • Regarding Josif Miladinov case I am not extremely surprised. He is living in Switzerland and does not train with bulgarian team during last couple of years. From his last interviews I only saw lack of any motivation and desire to keep developing his results. He seemed not devoted to the sport and was missing a lot of events due to injuries which was apparently not the only reason. Swimming is really on the rise during last couple of years in Bulgaria but there is some problems too. This year a big olympic size swimming pool was opened in Plovdiv which is super news for the sport in the country. Hopefully further pools will be build in near future, also in small towns.

    • Bulgarian swimming has been on the rise for the past couple of years and we certainly have our best period, since the 80s. But as with most things in  , a lot of good can't be without some bad to compliment it...   First Antani Ivanov, who is having a 3 year ban for missing tests (and who is a real moron and i am happy he hits the road) got busted and started feuding with practically everyone and is never at fault for anything. Last year he said he was retiring and getting away from swimming, but recently made the news sites (for more attention) saying, when his ban ends in spring 2026 he is going to start competing for a new country. But like i said, good riddance.   But more importantly, today one of our brightest swimmers Josif Miladinov shockingly announced his retirement at 21.. This comes out of the blue without much explanation. He made the 100 m butterfly finals at the Tokyo Olympics and the Doha WCH last year, had won a Silver & Bronze at the Euro.   There seems to be no conflict between him and the Federation and he just mentioned in his post, that he wants a new path in his life... Don't know if he is burned out from all the trainings and regimes from a young child or there are some other reasons that are being kept secret, but it's a big blow for this sport here.
