Canoe Slalom venue in April 2019, pics from our canoe federations delegation members after the return from their newest inspections trip.

 

They managed to fullfil many of our plans and goals they set up before the trip. the most important being the acomodation for our canoe slalom team just some 9 minutes (by subway) from the venue

Can’t wait to see it in person (hopefully). Only about a year and a half away now.

So yet another expensive venue instead of a natural river. I wonder if the hosts even have that choice nowadays.

LA doesn’t have any major rivers, so we’ll be building one too. (We also rarely have non-ocean water, so I don’t know where the water will come from)

the choice is there...the problem is that's not so easy to find a perfectly fit river for Slalom Canoeing within the urban area of Metropoles hosting the OG...

Rome, for instance, before withdrawing from the 2020 bid, had a natural river (in Fiano romano) as site for the slalom canoeing...but things went in a different way...:facepalm:

p.s. I already hate with all of my heart the choice of USC's Dedeaux Field transformed in a temporary Swimming pool (outdoor)...:wall:

and I'm sure that IOC gave up on an already exixting rule on that, since, after Athens 2004, they said that swimming would be never hosted outdoor anymore...:facepalm:

Well it’s the best cost-cutting option. I’ve been to the old Olympic pool by the way. It’s two 25m pools and a diving area now. Very little seats.

I honestly think it’s a pretty brillant use of space. I also don’t really a big problem with swimming being held outdoors tbh.

    • The problem of the Italian federation is that her system doesn`t work and we can`t afford to lose talents like Colturi. Our slalom does not exist, whether among women or men. We are currently at a level under that Croatia in women and Bulgaria in the men's category. There is no progress, in fact there is regression, because while Vinatzer often didn`t finish a few years ago, when he did finish he was able to be in the top. Now he either doesn`t finish or is around 20th place, like now. In the women's category the peak of our abilities is Peterlini, who regularly placed around 20th place in the World Cup... If we can`t afford to invest more than Albania and that with the Winter Olympics in a year at, then I think we can really dissolve our ski sector and focus on something else... If the federation is satisfied with such low levels, let them continue   Btw. maybe it's better investing in private teams like Colturi, if it works? I'd like have 1-2 Colturi in private teams, who will stand on the podiums of the World Cup, than a national team consisting of 5-6 average skiers, who can take 20th place at most, if they finish the race at all...

    • @Antooo any chance that you will be able to prepare 2026 olympics schedule in Excel/PDF file like you did for 2024??? It should be easier now, much less events to do. And no hurry at all, we have 15 months to go...

    • IMO the Italian federation was right in not giving to that financial and political blackmail - had they accepted it, plenty of more established athletes in snow sports could have asked for more under the threat of changing nationality. It's not like they had a sports almanac from the future saying that that 15yo girl would have won 5 olympic gold medals and 5 overall world cups.
    • Allez  He tried to pull this one lots of time and finally managed to go all the way.
    • Nonsense. Chamizo moved to Italy, married an Italian, he's still here after many years and was essentially banned from competing for Cuba. Colturi's tie to Albania is that the Albanian federation had invested a ton of money in her mother's business (élite and very costly academy for young skiers), and then gave her a role, and probably another big salary, as a director in exchange for the pomise of their first winter Olympic medal. A better comparison is to that archer who competed for Ivory Coast because her father had a big clothing business in the country.
    • I guess Stoch will retire in the end of 2025/2026 season.
