Why so ordinary shooters representing us this year like ashtaputre suhas in 25 mtrs pistol swapnil kusale in 50 meters rifle ... they are no where near international standards... why so much hurry... yes we speak about sportsperson not getting enough support but in this case it is totally vice versa ... first let them reach to some standards and then exposure can be given

Hey Gv looking forward to seeing what events are there this week 

 

last week has been really frustrating as an Indian olympic fan 

 

1. Loss of all three Indian boxers from the quota race - the poor state of Indian boxing was exposed while we are seeing  record numbers in other  sport ....... Boxing seems to be the where there will be a steep fall from London .....partially it is the qualification process but mainly it is the poor state of the federations ... Many of our federations seem to go through this political crap and Indian sports and fans suffer ...... the last two years the boxing federation has been going through all the jockeying for power and our sports lack exposure , support and hence are coming down , the same thing happened with hockey , gymnastics and now rowing and boxing 

 

2. Sidhanth thilanya acheiveing the quota standard and then the wind being just above the norms ( +2.1 ) 

 

3. Jitu and anissa reaching the finals but no medals 

 

4. poor baton exchange in the taipei open led to no results 

 

5. strong -1.4 winds lead to our women runners not improving on our fed cup results at the taipei open 

 

6. No improvements even on PBs at the Japan seiko open 

 

So I am looking forward to the luck changing this week and looking forward to see your list ............

 

of course major events seem to be continuing into this week ...... Roland garros , boxing shooting 

 

strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi

    • 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
