and don't name Nebiolo...he should burn in Hell and be forgotten right now

Whoever ruled our athletics in the first half of the 21st century, culminating in the embarrassing 2015 World Championships, should also burn in hell...

Absolutely, let people burn for all eternity because the sports didn't go so well.

Incompetent sports federation, just like incompetent governments, are subject to evaluation.

Yes, and losing their jobs and stuff. Not burning for all eternity if there is life after death  

 

Wishing people eternal suffering because the sports didn't go well means you're taking sports too seriously mate

He used it as a metaphor, I think.

The funny thing is that the ruling class hasn't changed at all from 2015 to 2020. It's the same ruling class (Giomi & co) that won Italy five Olympic gold medals.

 

Then Giomi is an idiot and politically embarrassing, he shouldn't be doing anything anymore (he has currently been kicked out of the athletics federation and elected to the orienteering federation), but to think that it was all his fault...

 

PS. Giomi's whole clique has remained in place, he has simply changed the flag they wave.

But in what year did Stefano Mei become president of Fidal? And whose merit of this progress? Because around 2010-2015, it was a disaster for us: even in 2009, we had zero medals, if not for later disqualifications. If we were any good results, it was only in the race walk and marathon. Even you recently wrote that the progress was enormous.

January 2021, but in just a few months you cannot change the preparation and federal structure in any way.
