for Bronze:  vs  and  vs  

 

for Gold: guess who?  but it's  vs  of course! 

 

p.s. someone one day would explain me what's the logic behind the Italian officials' decisions in Today's competition?  

I think that they want to issue a few reserve people. Looking at Lombardo's Instagram, he is not in the World Cup squad at all, he only trains alone.

I’m oldfashioned, I read it in a newspaper

If a judoka loses in R32 with R64 being bye does he still get full points for reaching R32 or only participation points 

participation points. I'm not sure what happens if the only "victory" is by WD from the opponent.

Caught up with yesterday's judo, there was some guy holding a 'We are Fethi Nourine' tshirt to 'celebrate' Kotsoiev's win  

 

Dude didn't come for the judo

In a newspaper interview Polling mentioned how unorganized the Italian Federation is. For instance, it was not long before the Worlds, but she had no information about the travel arrangements.

 

She’s suffering from ADHD, so needs certainty and structure. But strangely enough the total lack of structure works for her. I assume because if you expect nothing, you can never be disappointed. 

 

 

well, maybe she was just adapting to her new team...

 

but you can be sure that Italy is always the best arranged team when travelling around the world, we do even have our cooks and we bring our essential kinds of food with us...

 

no team puts their athletes in better condition to perform than ours

 

obviously, we do everything "the Italian style", which means no anticipated/long term programs...we always adapt to the situation and find the best solution that fits that given day's condition

 

living in Italy for so long, now she should know how it works at our latitude... 

 

and surely it's way, way different than in the Netherlands (or any other Central/North European Country)

I’m sure you know better than her, but I took the trouble to find the newspaper in the letterbox.

 

‘Polling …. Likes structure, clarity. This is lacking in Italy.” She then gives the example of not knowing when she’s going to leave for a tournament that will take place within two weeks (I earlier concluded she meant Worlds, but that’s not explicit). ‘Motherhood made her more flexible. ‘I could not have handled that uncertainty and slow organization 8 years ago.” Mocking: In Italy I know precisely where I am at, and that is that I don’t know where I am at”.

Leave it be, for many in NED we are either completely unorganized or run by the "maFFia", we're lucky when they choose the first option.

I’m just quoting someone who has direct personal experience of how the Italian Judo Federation is run and imagined that to be interesting. Whether she’s right or wrong, I don’t know. I have no opinions whatsoever on the way either Italy or the Italian Judo Federation are run, because I have no personal experience of either and these matters have zero influence on my life. There’s enough shit going on in my own country.
