Apparently :RSA Ponzio will become Italian.

Little mix there, :USA Ponzio and :RSA Weir are both eligible to represent Italy, both shot putters. There's a trend lately, with also :USA Robert Grant (400m hurdles) now able to wear the Italian jersey, thanks to his great-grandparents, which is something I find a bit much.

Italian law about citizenship is fucking stupid. If you have a great-great-grandaprent Italian, you're Italian.

If you are born in Italy by not-italian parents, if you do the Italian schools and so on, you must wait 18 years old and start a burocratic procedure...

Lithuania's athletics summer season is starting to get into gear.

 

Today and tomorrow there's a long throw Lithuanian championships that is usually held in the middle of spring as the first event for discus, javelin and hammer throwers.

 

Edis Matusevičius and Liveta Jasiūnaitė skipped the event, so there won't be anything promising tomorrow, but everybody took part in the discus and hammer.

 

Women's Discus was really sub-par, because no one threw over 60 metres, but Andrius Gudžius season opener in the discus was 66.06.

 

So that's a pretty decent start.

Same with Ireland.  Presumably both written at a time when both countries were poor & everyone wanted to get their rich oncles d’amerique back into the motherland

Oh, that means I'm probably Italian. Now that's unexpected!

Not that I plan to leave Brazil and live in Italy, just to make it clear.

      Speed Skating ISU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.

      The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.

      Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
