Intervista Con Tatyana Gabellone

C’è una atleta Italiana che in virtù di un dottorato di ricerca all’Università di Bristol (GBR) gareggia e vince i Campionati Indoor della UK Athletics: Tatyana Gabellone. La ricordiamo giovane marciatrice negli anni a cavallo tra i giochi Olimpici di Atene e quelli di Beijing, e abbiamo avuto il piacere di contattarla chiedendole questa spumeggiante intervista che proponiamo di seguito ai nostri lettori. 1.- Quando hai cominciato a marciare ? Hai auto qualche difficoltà nell'apprendere il gesto o ti ė venuto quasi naturale ? Ho iniziato a correre (campestri e mezzofondo) quando avevo 11 anni, ma purtroppo a causa di alcuni problemi di asma da forzo, a 14 anni ho deciso di passare alla "meno intensa” marcia. Non ho avuto difficoltà a imparare la tecnica che era abbastanza naturale per me. 2.- Come sono stati nella tua vita sportiva i rapporti con i tuoi allenatori ? Il mio primo allenatore è stato mio papà che mi ha trasmesso la sua passione per l'atletica. GIUDICARE LA MARCIA - Mi sono sempre fidata di lui e ancora oggi gli chiedo spesso consigli. -

All finished their events in the very tough conditions, battling through temperatures in the thirties and high humidity. Jemima (6 th) and Rhydian (8th) led the way with top- 8 finishes, Declan and Rhydian recorded PBs and Bec, the youngest competitor in the women’s 20km, walked excellently, just like all the others.

The big announcement came on Friday with Rhydian being added to the men's 20km team, along with Jared Tallent who will now do the double, and Tanya and Regan being added to the women's 20km team. The full Australian walks team now reads as follows 20km Men Dane Bird-Smith (QLD), Jared Tallent (SA), Rhydian Cowley (VIC) 20km Women Rachel Tallent (VIC), Regan Lamble (VIC), Tanya Holliday (SA) 50km Jared Tallent (SA), Chris Erickson (VIC), Brendon Reading (ACT) Dane, Rhydian, Rachel, Tanya and Brendon will make their Olympic debuts, Regan will be going to her second Olympics and Chris and Jared will front for their third Olympics. But today it's timely to zoom in on Rhydian, Tanya and Regan. • 24 year old Regan was outstanding on Olympic debut four years ago, placing 16 th in London with a huge PB of 1:30:03. But her world then fell apart with the ridiculous decision to terminate the AIS scholarship program. -

He joins Jemima Montag and Dane Bird-Smith who have already been pre-selected for the 20km. Further 20km walk additions are likely to take place when the qualification period for that event finishes on 29 th June. See the announcement at https://www.athletics.com.au/news/marathoners-selected-for-tokyo-2020-australian-olympic-team/. Well done Rhydian on your second Olympics. It is a just reward for all your hard work. I thought the MorelandStar (https://www.facebook.com/morelandstarnews/) summed it all up nicely LOCAL RESIDENT SELECTED FOR THE 2021 OLYMPICS The Australian Olympic Committee announced yesterday that Fawkner resident Rhydian Cowley has been selected for the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games in the 50km Racewalk. If you walk along the Merri Creek trail, perhaps you’ve seen Rhydian as it’s where he does a lot of his training – particularly during lockdown. In addition to sessions at the gym, he says he walks between 105 to 150 kms per week.
