Giampiero Galeazzi, died earlier today at the age of 75.

He was a rower (Italian champion in the men's single in 1967, missed the qualification to the 1968 Olympics by an inch), but, above all, he was very, very famous in Italy because he's been for years the voice of Rowing, Tennis and Flatwater Canoeing on our public TV (he also used to be the host -and sometimes the field reporter- of many Football broadcasts)...

He was named "bisteccone" (big steak) because of his size...

as said, he'll be always in our hearts because he called some of the most memorable wins in the history of our sport and especially because of his very emotional style...

2 (actually 3) golden moments I'll never forget...

Rowing, Seoul 1988, the Abbagnale bros winning it all (Giuseppe & Carmine on the men's coxed pair, Agostino leading the men's quadruple sculls)...

Canoeing, Sydney 2000, Bonomi & Rossi going for the double in the men's K2 1000m...

  Well, we definitely know who should not be elected for President. More so I want him to stand in front of the people and they collectively laugh in his face.

  So, it's a tie. Rio and London. I voted for Rio because I just loved the flow... I just loved all the fun... I loved Brazilian Anthem, Gisele Bundchen's catwalk with Garota de Ipanema song and The Athletes Parade... And i just loved Rio.
