Signing time started for the :ESP Spanish Federation.

 

Today, our parliament confirmed express nationality to :CUB Yulemnis Aguilar, currently #1 in the women's javelin toplist in 2024. She doesnt represent Cuba since like 5 years ago so there would be no problem, she will be in Paris.

 

 

Also, :ETH Likina Amebaw is waiting for the nationality. She has the Olympic Standar in women's 10.000metres and wants to go to Paris. Although her has a different route. She's married to an Spaniard apparently, so no need for the Parliament to get involved. But adminstrations are slow so if "organic" nationality doesn't arrive at time I count with the Goverment giving her an special excempt for the nationality as they did for Yulemnis.

 

 

And at last :BDI Rodrigue Kwizera is reportedly starting negotiations paperwork to ask for the nationality, He refused to go with his home country to the latest World Cross Country Championships. He was at Budapest in 2023 so at least until 2026 couldn't compete for the country. So there's no hurry with him.

 

 

 

 

Would there be any more before Paris or would they stop at 5 between the last 2 years? Who knows....

Twins Eugene and Jamie Omalla have completed their switch from :UGA Uganda to :NED The Netherlands and can compete in Paris if they're selected as part of the Dutch team. Especially Eugene can be a big addition for the relay, he broke the African indoor record earlier this year over 400m.

 

No shenanigans here by the way: born in the Netherlands (country of their mom), lived here for 7 years and then moved to Uganda (country of their dad), now they compete for Kansas State in the US.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
