Big blow for the men's volleyball team. At least good that his heart problems were spotted in time... NearPup 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

ChandlerMne 767 Posted July 8 #153 Share Posted July 8 Italy has history of volleyball deaths. I still remember Vigor Bovolenta. Such a great player. I am glad that doctors did good work with Anzani, health is more important than Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad that doctors did good work with Anzani, health is more important than Games. not only volleyball however, Anzani was already stopped last year (he basically lost the entire 2022/2023 season, as he already underwent a cardiac ablation surgery a year ago) then, at the beginning of this season he was allowed to start again by the same doctors that now stopped him again here in Italy the rules about professional sport activity are very, very strict when it comes down to heart condition (we did even stop a double Olympic champion going for an historical repeat like Domenico Fioravanti just a few months before Athens 2004) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For various reasons of course. Could be retirement, injury. For Serbia, most of our medalists from Tokyo won't be coming back. Including Gold medalists: Milica Mandić Taekwondo (Retired) Jovana Preković Karate (Obvious Reasons ) Most of the Men's Waterpolo Team (Retired after games) Our two gold medalists from Tokyo will be back (Ntouskos in rowing and Tentoglou in long jump), also we have three other gold medalists from Rio who will be in Paris (Stefanidi in pole vault - got 4th in Tokyo, Korakaki in shooting - got 6th in Tokyo, Petrounias in gymnastics - got bronze in Tokyo). dobar_73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
