Record Storici
RECORD STORICI I primati Mondiali, Europei, Olimpici stabiliti dagli atleti italiani A scorrere le vecchie carte, si rintracciano numerose grandi prestazioni che gli atleti italiani hanno ottenuto nel Secolo XX. Prestazioni delle quali, per la gran parte, si è persa memoria. Quindi, appare opportuno riproporle in quella che potrebbe essere una delle voci di un nostro “ABBECEDARIO” di atletica, un testo di lettura per le prime classi dei dirigenti federali. Il primo record da ricordare, dei più nobili, è quello di Dorando Pietri a Londra 1908: un proto-primato nella Maratona (come avrebbe scritto Bruno Bonomelli …) cancellato alla pari della sua vittoria. Gli ultimi, già molto lontani nel tempo, sono quelli che Maurizio Damilano ha ottenuto sulla pista di Cuneo nell’autunno 1992. Fra mezzo, molti riscontri tecnici di notevole significato temporale e storico. Nelle tabelle che seguono si è tentato un primo elenco – in ordine cronologico – di tutti quei record Mondiali , Europei e Olimpici che hanno fatto la storia dell’atletica italiana, oltre ad una appendice per non tralasciare una serie di risultati che, per vari motivi, non hanno goduto del crisma dell’ufficialità. In chiave storica va ricordato che la federazione italiana è stata fondata a Milano il 21 ottobre 1906 e che la IAAF ha preso corpo a Berlino nell’ agosto 1913 , dopo che il 17 luglio 1912 i rappresentanti di 17 nazioni – riunitisi a Stoccolma durante i Giochi Olimpici (e tra i quali non figurava nessun italiano) – avevano stabilito di costituire una struttura internazionale che regolamentasse norme e primati dell’atletica leggera. Tra i primi atti della IAAF fu proprio la stesura di una prima lista di record mondiali che venne presentata nel 1914. -

Speciale 290
Diretto da Giors Oneto SPECIALE /290 [email protected] 3. X. 2013 La lunghissima marcia di Abdon Pamich (ha tagliato il traguardo degli 80 anni) di Vanni Lòriga Il 3 ottobre 1933 nasceva in Fiume Abdon Pamich che pertanto oggi compie anni ottanta. Nei suoi 29.220 giorni di vita si dice ( e più altro si calcola) che abbia coperto, marciando o camminando ad alta velocità, almeno 100.000 chilometri. Praticamente ha fatto due volte e mezzo il giro dell’Equatore. Ed ancora non si è fermato. Tutti conoscono il suo curriculum atletico che, per maggiore comodità dei lettori di Spiridon, riassumiamo alla fine del pezzo. Certificate così la sue credenziali sportive, peraltro di pubblico dominio, passiamo ad aspetti meno noti della sua vita. LA FAMIGLIA - E’ figlio di Giovanni, dottore commercialista e direttore di aziende che operano nel legname e nel tannino e di Irene Susanj, una certa parentela con quel Luciano Susanj campione europeo sugli 800 metri nel 1974 a Roma con 1’44”07. I figli di Giovanni e di Irene sono quattro: il primogenito classe 1932 (in seguito primario di chirurgia toracica a Monfalcone) si chiama anche lui Giovanni ( come d’altra parte il nonno paterno e fra gli avi di Abdon c’era anche una Giuliana Salomon, erede di Dogi veneziani); poi (1937) nascerà Raoul (laureato in economia) ed infine (1944) Irma (insegnante). Le radici della famiglia vanno ricercate in Veneto: ma si può definire Abdon Pamich un Italiano nato nell’Istria italiana e cittadino del mondo. Dal suo matrimonio con Maura Grisanti nascono Tamara (medico sportivo all’Acquacetosa) e Sennen (laureato negli USA ed ora amministratore delegato a San Diego della Colomer, un colosso nel campo dei cosmetici a cui è giunto dopo aver lavorato con Proctor & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson e Bulgari). -

Issue No: 402 January/February 2021 Happy New Year Editor: Dave Ainsworth RACE WALKING ASSOCIATION Preliminary Notice of AGM Notice is hereby given that due to Covid19 restrictions, the Annual General Meeting of the Race Walking Association will be held as a virtual (online) event on Saturday 30 January 2021. The RWA acknowledge that online meetings are difficult for a number of people so a method of advance participation is being implemented to help achieve inclusion as far as is reasonably possible. This will result in slight modification to the usual timeline and is detailed further within this notice. The main feature is that all reports will be circulated prior to meeting (but will not be read out in the meeting). Any comments on reports received before AGM will be read out at AGM followed by debate or discussion of the report if appropriate. Votes may be submitted in writing or electronically prior to the meeting and will be anonymous to the meeting. The Honorary General Secretary (HGS) will receive and validate advance votes. As current president, the HGS will chair the meeting and, as per the rules of the association, will only vote where a casting vote is required. Advance votes must be in writing and will be available for scrutiny by the other officers of the RWA after the meeting. Voting in the meeting will be open (ie not-anonymous), advance votes will be then be added after the live vote to obtain the result. Votes for affiliated bodies will only be accepted (both in advance and on the day) from delegates who have been formally authorised by the secretary of the body (or other official duly acting on behalf of the secretary). -

Alas, I finally missed an issue in early August as I was lost in the wilds of Peru, so my run of some 8 years of weekly newsletters came to a halt. Overall, the number of pages produced this year was about 15% bigger than in any previous year and I think I averaged around 20 pages per issue. I must start this issue by acknowledging all those people who feed results to me regularly. On the Australian front, thanks to Sarah Brennan, Kerrie Peart and Paul Rance (VIC), Colin Hainsworth (SA), Robin Whyte (ACT) and Terry Jones (WA). Internationally, thanks to Emmanuel Tardi (FRA), Mark Wall and Ron Wallwork (GBR) and the many others who let me know the latest news. And apologies if I missed anyone. The old brain cells sometimes get a bit overworked! I am also indebted to the writers behind http://www.marciadalmondo.com/ and http://omarchador.blogspot.com.au/ for the many results and race reports that they regularly produce.
