Italy and Olympism Italy and Olympism “I wanted Rome because there alone, back from its tour of utilitarian America, Olympism would don the splendid robe, woven with art and thought, with which I had wanted to adorn it from the outset.” Pierre de Coubertin, Mémoires Olympiques “May the Olympic Games—this is my most sincere wish—strengthen hope and faith in a higher destiny of man. May the young athletes, returning to their homes, beyond the Alps and seas, remember their Roman visit when they felt united over and above all personal ambition, all difference of language, race and opinion; and may these young people declare that peaceful co-existence is possible and necessary between nations, in the name of humanity, freedom and civilisation.” Giovanni Gronchi, President of the Italian Republic, 1960 ITALY COMITATO OLIMPICO NAZIONALE ITALIANO (CONI) 301,200 square kilometres.

  • 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.

    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).

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.

  • SPECIALE /318 [email protected] 31.I
    Diretto da Giors Oneto SPECIALE /318 [email protected] 31.I. 2015 Presso la Procura Antidoping del CONI sono iniziati gli interrogatori dei 65 atleti che dovranno rispondere per mancata reperibilità ( oppure per mancata comunicazione) in caso di controlli a sorpresa. I primi colloqui riguardano G. L. Tamberi, Claudio Licciardello, Andrea Lalli, Giuseppe Gibilisco, Giovanni Faloci, Andrew Howe, Fabrizio Schembri, Fabrizio Donato e Mario De Luca. Intanto si è deciso anche sulla staffetta veloce azzurra mentre giunge la notizia che il P.M. di Bolzano GianCarlo Bramante ha citato in giudizio i medici Fischetto e Fiorella e la funzionaria Bottiglieri. Seguendo l’atletica ormai da una ottantina d’anni ed avendola sempre adorata ( “ sono eterni solo gli amori non corrisposti” sosteneva il collega Gianni Meliconi) mi chiedo se per caso nelle mie scelte di vita io non abbia sbagliato tutto … Sono sicuro di no, di aver fatto la scelta giusta. So che se qualcuno ha sbagliato dovrà pagare ma non sono io che debbo giudicare, condannare, punire: ad altri spetta il compito. Ed infatti è giunta la prima sentenza: è relativa a tre componenti della staffetta veloce (Collio, Checcucci e Donati) che sono stati assolti dalla seconda sessione del Tribunale Nazionale Antidoping dall’accusa di aver assunto Bentelan (i primi due) e di aver avuto frequentazioni con un medico inibito (il terzo). Naturalmente non si è omesso di segnalare da parte dei Torquemada in servizio permanente effettivo che si tratta, in definitiva, di una specie di assoluzione per insufficienza di prove che “non smonta del tutto il castello accusatorio della Procura ” che aveva chiesto un paio di anni di squalifica a testa.

    • •/ A ot if** M Number 3 & 4 December 1969 Volume 8 DUPLICATING WITHOUT MAKING CARBON COPIES - Hal Wasserman - One of the fascinating features about stamp collecting is that a collector may collect whatever interests him. No matter what the catalogue may include or not in­ clude there is no law that says what the collector must have in his album. It is his own possession to build and expand as he chooses. It is only when the collector wishes to exhibit for competition that certain maxims come into play; then the collector loses some of the freedom he had before. Yet exhibiting need not enjoin a collector from remaining individualistic in his approach, nor does his collection have to be a carbon copy of other similar exhibita This is especially noticeable when viewing exhibits of Olympic Games stamps. Excluding the early Greek Olympic stamps, a collector would not find it too difficult or too expensive to put together a 'complete* collection of the basic stamps. How, then, can an enthusiast put his individual touch on his own exhibit except through a different type of mounting? In my opinion, there are enough unusual items on the philatelic marketplace that a collector could add for nearly every Olympiad, some expensive but many rather nominal in price, that would add sparkle to an exhibit. All of the items mentioned below are listed in various books and guides, in­ cluding Ira Seeoacher's Handbook of Sports Stamps. However, I would like to point out some of these that seem to be overlooked in many of the exhibits.
