:ITA Gregorio Paltrinieri will not take part in the men's 10km race :yikes::cry:

 

he will be replaced by Dario Verani, world silver medallist and European champion over 25km (but a good specialist also in the 10km)

 

Paltrinieri will swim only the mixed relay in OWS (and the 1500m in the pool)

Swimswam are reporting that he's swimming the 5k. So who is right?

I think they're messing it up a bit...

 

Paltrinieri is not taking any gamble...he's already sure to participate to the Olympic race, as he already swam 14.40 in the 1500m last December

 

and every Nation can start 2 swimmers in the Olympic race provided they are directly qualified through the 2023 and 2024 worlds OR they have reached the A standard in the 800m/1500m in the pool

 

this means that for :ITA Doha's race is only about a second quota place (both Acerenza and Verani don't have good pool clockings yet, so they need to earn a place in Sunday's competition)

 

for what concerns the internal selection, he's already safe, Verani has been named clearly the number #3 in the Paris list (even if he wins the world title, he would be selected for the Olympics only if Greg and Mimmo are injured)

yes, now I have the full selection for :ITA 

 

Paltrinieri is going to swim both the 5k and the mixed relay (plus both the 800m and the 1500m in the pool)

 

they decided to skip the 10k because he wanted a couple more days rest after the altitude training and because the water in Doha is supposed to be too cold for his taste (around 20° C, they even think it might be possible for the swimmers to be allowed to use the full wet suit)

 

by the way, this is the full :ITA team:

 

women's 10 km: Ginevra Taddeucci & Arianna Bridi
 
men's 10 km: Dario Verani & Domenico Acerenza
 
women's 5 km: Barbara Pozzobon & Giulia Gabbrielleschi

 

men's 5 km: Gregorio Paltrinieri & Domenico Acerenza
 
Team Event 4x1500m: TBD after the 5km races (but the men are surely Paltrinieri & Acerenza, unless something goes wrong in the previous days)

    • Cogne (ITA) has prevailed over Ulricehamn (SWE) and will replace the World Cup in Nove Mesto (CZE). This means that a total of 10 World Cup races are planned in Italy next season.  
    • What's worse there is that it took insanely long for anyone to even go there and try to help her....like, nothing happened, at all. She was crying out in pain in the pouring rain and nobody came to help, that was awful. And then someone finally went there....and just picked up her bike to move it away. Come on.
    • Pointsbet Invitational on this week!    Already a few upsets in the round of 16 with Team McDonald defeating Team Dunstone (not the biggest of the surprises, he took Team Carruthers the distance at the provincial playdowns), Team Asselin defeating Team Carruthers, and perhaps the biggest one Team MacNutt defeating Team Einarson (I will also add that Birchard suffered a knee injury recently and is taking some time off, so Walker is coming in as a replacement)
    • top athletes are still paid well enough to keep them in the country. that also means that they degrade and wouldn't be good enough for any other country
    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
