  1. The reserve rower replaced the starter in Tokyo itself due to a case of Covid: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowing_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_coxless_four I used to think that it was about too little money that the Italian Olympic Committee invests in rowing and that is why it is more profitable for some athletes to go to study in the USA and work there, instead of continuing their sports career in Italy. In the UK or the Netherlands, I haven't heard of any cases where someone went to study during the four-year period between the Games, or maybe I'm wrong? What's more, when I look at the Romanian team led by Italian coaches, I see greater stability and continuity in the squads there than in our country. In addition, Romania trains most of the time in Italy. I don't know what the problem is, but the frequent departures to study in the USA - mainly women - and the constant injuries are strange. Perhaps we should follow the example of Romania, which is not as rich a country as the UK, the Netherlands or Germany, but has great results in rowing. Maybe we should bring those coaches back to Italy and let them build such a system here? But it definitely invests more money.
  2. I was concerned that if she called a press conference specifically, it would be to announce his say goodbye. Fortunately, I was wrong
  3. That's true but team sports have their magic time at the Olympics, independently of other medals.
  4. For me everything counts. In our case, the size of the team often translated into the number of medals won. Unfortunately in our country, the small number of teams has a negative impact on the number of people in games: let's be honest but probably 4 teams is not enough compared to, for example, Spain.
  5. At the World Championships 2023 we were 1st under the line of QO in this category but with a different lineup.
  6. It will be very difficult to get promoted in our case then. With each edition these qualifications become more and more difficult in most sports.
  7. https://fisi.org/lannuncio-di-wierer-continuo-fino-a-milano-cortina-2026/
  8. In my opinion Romania has made more progress in recent years under the work of Italian coaches than we did under Franco Cattaneo. I don't know if any changes are needed but we definitely need more money to compete with the Netherlands or the UK. Romania shows that it is possible
  9. In my opinion only Ukraine is out of reach even in our form is close to the previous World Champ. However, we have too many injuries and changes. Some rowers also go to study in the USA and there is no continuation of work. In your opinion we are greater chances for advance in W2-?
  10. Italians in Tokyo 2021 they replaced a rower in M4- due to Covid - a few hours before the final and they had a bronze medal.
  11. I'm hope that Italy will advance in: M1x: Mumolo, M4-: Lodo, Vicino, Abagnale, Kohl, LW2x: Rodini- Cesarini W8: Pelacchi, de Filippis, Gnatta, Rocek, Codato, Terrazzi, Mondelli, Bumbaca, Capponi. In M8: USA and Canada will be favourite then Italy. In W2- I have no idea what English-Hawke/Meriano can do. I'm a bit surprised that we don't send W4x. From what I heard: Guerra/Gobbi are will prepared for W2x and maybe that's why. In a situation where Rodini-Cesarini will start in LW2x, Buttignon-Crosio will be reserves in the lightweight category - I remind you that these two advanced to the World Championships in W2x.
  12. Men: M1x: Ita, Gbr or Rom. M4-: Italy and Switzerland, 8-: Two for Italy/Can/USA
  13. In LW2x two places will be taken by someone from 3: ITA, FRA, GRE. Each of these crew has almost the same chances and it will be a very close race. Whoever emerges victorious from this fight can win a medal in Paris. WX4: Ukraine and Fra/Can/USA. Italian women don't send a crew here. W8: Italy and Ger/Chn.
  14. As far as I know, Crosio is not injured. There are 4 equal lightweight rowers: Rodini, Cesarini, Crosio and Buttignon. The final training sessions were supposed to decide which team would go to Lucerne and apparently the gold duo from Tokyo was selected. Even if he advances, changes are possible for the Olympics.
  15. How would you rate the Conyedo-Baran fight? When was the last time this Valiev from Albania fought somewhere?
  16. It also seemed to me when looking through the starting lists that Burgo had the best chance to advancing. Can you write his most dangerous rivals tomorrow for these 2 places?
  17. Does Tacchini also have can to start in c-1? Despite everything, I was counting on one qualification in k-1 or k-2. Maybe tomorrow Burgo? Unfortunately, Italy lost heavily by withdrawing the k-1 200 from the Olympic program.
  18. In the case of Italy, we had Rizzo, the 200-meter medalist from Tokyo for k-1, who was unable to adapt to the 500 meters and will not go to the Olympics. However, there are no young successors. What's the point of winning medals among juniors or U-23s if we can't transfer it to senior sport later? The result will be that in the kayak sprint we will send two people in c2-500 to Paris... Not much When you remember the times and names such as Rossi-Bonomi or Josefa Idem, it makes me heart sad
  19. The Netherlands is a powerhouse in rowing, so nothing stops you from investing in kayaks. You can choose similar places to train. Here it is more necessary to attract training ideas from abroad, which should not be a problem considering the large financial resources in Dutch sport. It frustrates me that Italy has given up on kayaking, which once brought us many Olympic medals but the problem is that there is still too little money for olympics sports sports in our country.
  20. Italy will started also in: LW2x, M1x and probably in W4x or W2-.
  21. And there is her after 60 years in San Remo 2024. Still phenomenally beautiful and singing beautifully. No botox, fake breasts or lips.
  22. In this competition, only the winner counts for me. There are no silver and bronze medals here. For me this competition has long lost its magic and shine.
  23. That's true. Those were wonderful times and not just because I was young and life was simpler.
