phelps 6,871 Posted November 12, 2021 #552 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Giampiero Galeazzi, died earlier today at the age of 75. He was a rower (Italian champion in the men's single in 1967, missed the qualification to the 1968 Olympics by an inch), but, above all, he was very, very famous in Italy because he's been for years the voice of Rowing, Tennis and Flatwater Canoeing on our public TV (he also used to be the host -and sometimes the field reporter- of many Football broadcasts)... He was named "bisteccone" (big steak) because of his size... as said, he'll be always in our hearts because he called some of the most memorable wins in the history of our sport and especially because of his very emotional style... 2 (actually 3) golden moments I'll never forget... Rowing, Seoul 1988, the Abbagnale bros winning it all (Giuseppe & Carmine on the men's coxed pair, Agostino leading the men's quadruple sculls)... Canoeing, Sydney 2000, Bonomi & Rossi going for the double in the men's K2 1000m... Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
