  1. In my personal opinion, only shameful idea is continental ripartition of qualificated teams. Only 16 places for europe (55 federations), 7 from COMEMBOL (10 nations). This is outragoeus.
  2. Il problema principale dell'Italia non sono i fondi, che non sono molti meno rispetto ad altri paesi: al limite potrebbero essere meglio ripartiti, tenendo sempre a mente una divisione equa fra lo sport di base, fondamentale, e gli elite. E', come spiega perfettamente Phelps, la mancanza di cultura sportiva a 360°, nonostante la quale il nostro sport ha raggiunto, con costanza invidiabile, risultati eccelsi in quasi tutte le discipline. Certo, il sistema si può migliorare, ma non è una questione di soldi. Io un paio di idee ce le avrei. Bisognerebbe stringere un pò le maglie sulle varie SSD e ASD, che oggi sono per il 90% palestre col solo scopo di lucro e nessun valore sociale. Ovvero, vuoi aprire una palestra con vantaggi fiscali? Bene, devi avere almeno un paio di discipline olimpiche, con un numero minimo di praticanti. Di fatto costringeresti le sale fitness a proporre corsi di judo, o di lotta, o di quello che volete. Aumentando così la base.
  3. Uhm, sull'epocalità di Mao e soprattutto Curtis ho più di un dubbio. Ottimi prospetti, certo, nel secondo caso direi atleta da finale olimpica, magari non in ultima posizione, ma i talenti epocali alla Pellegrini o Ceccon sono ben altra roba. Anche qua, spero di sbagliare di molto.
  4. Vorrei tanto sbagliare, ma secondo me il nuoto italiano ha scavallato il suo apice, sta finendo il periodo d'oro. Questo non vuol dire che non possano nascere talenti fuori scala qua e la, ma vedo impossibile un livello medio simile a quello che si è raggiunto negli anni appena trascorsi. E ricordiamoci che questa generazione paga due anni di chiusura delle piscine in epoca covid, più di tutti: chi voleva avviarsi al nuoto in quel periodo aveva abbastanza difficoltà. Mao mi dicono assente anche nei 200, devo verificare.
  5. My best moments of Paris 2024 is a final. Rowing, Men's 4X. This event was special for me. It was the first italian medal i speaking about, live on TV. And, 4X is a damned boat for us: Filippo Mondelli, former world champiosnhip on it, died at 27, just before Tokyo Olympic games. Then, in that games, Italy's boat was first, before a rower touch a lane sign
  6. Greetings to all from eurosport Italy! (yes, i'm a commentator!)
  7. In Italy, hype is high, but not for olympic themselves. Itay is hater's reign, when north is against south, catholic are against atheist, right is against left, a city is against near city. So, attention is all for chaacter players, like Sinner, Tamberi, Paltrinieri, and viper's nest that is women volleyballl team. And, in Italy no one knows great champions like Ganna, Dell'Aquila, or Tita. Yes, that's incredible but there is a lot of people that hate Sinner, or Tamberi, or Paltrinieri. Women's volleyball team needs a dedicate chapter. Players hated one each other, there are clans, family stories, horny stories, and poor old men Velasco trying to sew everithing. Italy is potentially better team of the world, but for example, lead Monica Di Gennaro probably will play olympic final against... his husband, Santarelli, Turkey's coach.
  8. Vande Velde. Uman shit, child rapist. swimmers. Confirmed doped. Edwin N'gapeth. Three criminal convictions.
  9. Sports to watch: all of them, but cycling track, volleyball, swimming, basketball, sailing are my favourites. sport to avoid: breaking, skateboarding, equestrian dressage. I have to see much more of 11 hours for day!
  10. 1. I'll work on a sport tv network. So i'll watch the games in a tv studio...tallking about Paris2024 2. Hard to say. Before Tokyo, i was a Japan supporter, but 2020 games was a great disappointmen for me. HUN, is friendly.
  11. For me, this is best site schedule: https://olympic.ca/schedule-paris-2024-olympic-games/
  12. When i can found list of rider with MER? In this way, we can also answer at @konig
  13. Here we're not discuss on war reason, on who is in right and who is in wrong (for me, both are in wrong, but my opinion count 0). We'are discuss if athlete should be punished for actions of politicians. And my answer is not, never. Athletes made their jobs, plane their dreams, and stop. IOC have to be neutral, like Switzerland, about this. IOC don't have to be neutral for other cases, like doping, or corruption scandal.
  14. It's a mistake in men's -60: MGL had already a quota with Ariunbold ENKHTAIVAN, so next in ranking is QUVATOV (TJK). He is in Continental Quota list; next one is Carlino (ITA).
  15. Can i say that trials are a stupid way of selecting? A little flu is enough for throw away a carreer. Much better first two qualified by trials, and one choice.
