I want just give us a small spotlight about italian elections :p

Last saturday was a very hard day for the italian politics.. all (!!) the italian left (that is divided in 3 main party since years) go do a demonstration in the main italian square against fascism in the all italian city. The main 3 party (PD, Liberi e Uguali and Potere al Popolo) they do not talk to each other and they hate each other :p

Meanwhile, in Milan, the right coalition (again 3 main party, Lega Nord, Fratelli d'Italia and Forza Italia) do 3 different speeches. They are ally but they have very different opinions about their political program.. if they will win they will never rule together, they do not even agree on the presidential candidate (Berlusconi want the european president Tajani, Salvini and Meloni want itself).

The Movimento 5 Stelle, the anti-establishment party, decided to go at Qurinale for gave the possible government ministers to President Mattarella, but it's isn't allow by the law and Mattarella decided not to meet Di Maio.

In this week, in all Italy, we have clash and stabbings between extreme right and extreme left militants, some politicians were objects of violent assaults meanwhile in Turin and Perugia we had clash between law enforcement agencies and demonstrators... welcome back post-II World war :lol:

In all this busy days, the official twitter account of the Polizia di Stato say that they're happy that amnesty international was in the various protest marches for monitor possible violence of the police becouse they'll finally see who is the real victim. :lol:

 

All in Italy know that no anyone of the main politicians will govern alone becouse no anyone will have the majority in parliament and probabily will be very hard made a coalition... Funny days are coming :d

As today is election time in Italy, I wish for all :ITA users good luck in voting :yes If you have any second thoughts about voting - please, go, even if your party has zero chance to achieve the result you would like it to see, or even if you don't have any party you support - then go and help prevent what you believe will be the worst solution. Tonight is one of the rare days you can shape the future of your country, so go on and use it :d Remember - every vote counts ;) !

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
