Saeid Mohammadpour finally received his gold medal from 2012 London Olympics officially today in Ashgabat after 6 years ! he originally finished 5th but top 4 all tested positive for doping :d I assume this is kind of a record to be upgraded from 5th place to gold medal.

 

this is a picture of him on the "podium"

Wait, he was in the Olympics as a 19-year old and since then had no international competition ever again? :yikes:

well he was part of the gangs boycotted the team in 2013 and he was always injured since then.

it seems Mohammadpour wasn't the only weightlifter receiving his medal in Ashgabat, Gulnoi (THA, 2012) and Ulanov (KAZ, 2016) also received their medals.

interesting that they only awarded the gold medal in that weight where all 3 medalists are disqualified now. no silver and bronze ? :mumble:

:d in Top 7 yes, but the South Korean 8th placer (upgraded to 2nd) also has a clean record. maybe he wasn't just there. it's not necessary to attend a ceremony to receive your medal. they can just send it to your home.

 

and as I asked before, no idea if Zielinksi really receives anything. :mumble:

 

funny that Ilya Ilyin himself was there in Ashgabat when they were awarding "his medal" to someone else :d

European youth champion, :BUL Dayana Dimitrova, receives a life ban from competing in international weightlifting after her second doping offense since April 2017. 

The Bulgarian weightlifting federation said that the 18-year-old Bulgarian had used a banned diuretic while training privately. Her coach said she had used the drug to lose weight before the competition in Poland.

Well that was a long international weightlifting career for Dimitrova. :p

    • 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
