Yes I think so now, this is some cleric who wanted to base the country on secularism and interreligious dialogue

 

I always like when people are much in favour of secularism and interreligious dialogue, but somehow those people always seem to lose :(

What's worse is that extremists seem to gain influence not only in some regions but in the whole world... though to be fair it's hard to be surprised that people are scarred and irritated after what keeps happening in the world :(

Its shocking that some People really believe that this was a (failed) coup. For me its obvious that Erdogan faked all of this to get more power and to get a "reason" to punish his opponents. His first reaction was to fire 2700 judges, i wonder how he got their names so fast ... ? He gets closer and closer to his ultimate Goal: Total control. In 12 months or less Turkey will be as much of a democracy as Russia, but sadly far more religious. If this was a "real" coup, then the turkish Military leaders (or at least) some of them seem to be shockingly stupid, this has to be by far the worst attempt of a coup in history.

 

Edit: Does Turkey already have the death penalty? If not, then it might be introduced very quick.

:FIJ Fiji will not change its flag at the end... Why did they change their mind? - Because Fiji won rugby gold in Rio.

 

"It has been deeply moving for me as Prime Minister to witness the way Fijians have rallied around the national flag as our Rugby Sevens team brought home Olympic gold for Fiji ... and I know this sentiment is shared by most Fijians," Mr Bainimarama said in a statement.

 

 

Yep, let's just have those colonial flags forever :AUS:NZL:FIJ:TUV ...

    • 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
