European championship started today. Laachraoui Mourad (Belgium) in 54kg, Braganca Rui (Porugal) in 58kg, Romoldanova Iryna (Ukraine) in -46kg and Bogdanovic Tijana (Serbia) became European champions.

 

We saw a lot of surprises today. Tuncat lost in second round, Aziez lost in 1/4.

I'm somewhat cheering for the Belgian guy since the terrorist attacks in Brussels, where his brother was one of the terrorists....it's really great to see he won a European gold today to add some happiness :d

Asemani competes for Belgium at EC

 

So far so good, that's no problem I suppose...I mean, she is a Belgian athlete after all. 

Of course I really hope this doesn't mean she will compete for Belgium at the Olympics as well, that'd be bad.

Mohamed Ketbi (BEL) is having huge troubles for months already to stay under the 58kg limit. Apparently he's growing quite a lot (he's still young) and it's causing more and more problems. Didn't have a fight in his weight class since December and it looks like it's a very realistic option that he won't be going to Rio. Salaheddine Bensaleh seems to be in sight as a possible replacement..

This is somehow a good news, which means he won't be the last athlete in the ranking and Farzan won't face him in the first round. still it's dangerous which means this guy can get good results in Rio and advances to further rounds ! Farzan most probably will face the Thai guy in the first round

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • 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
