There is nothing tastier than a slice of fresh watermelon finished training at 40 degrees and beyond! The heat is also felt for those who paddle in waves and curls in a channel that is animating the day. And 'His Excellency the Bishop arrived, with an important profile, with an elegant bearing and with so much energy in the body in two years the Olympic Games expected as a sort of "Rescue 2". He obviously is that Tony Estanguet, with Emily and Fer Courinier coach, arrived last Sunday: they stay for over a month to heal physical and technical. After two days still falls short sleeve, but we do not take much to throw to the winds to paddle jackets and shirts "arm" would say good Baco (born Francesco Stefani)! The Italians in the rally, meanwhile, came to them last week and return home Sunday after garetto organized by the local canoe club complete with a final grid. I said the blues gathering in return, but not Daniele Molmenti that will stop here for the entire month of February. He is the lone paddler, he arrives in the morning almost always in good company for the second round and began to turn like a hamster on the wheel. What do loops or divided paths do not notice too much difference: the speed and the way it deals with the lift is always aggressive at the right point. The grind is important ports on doors in moving water and not waste time testing the water with flat leaves that make any difference. Super Cali is divided between the gym and canoeing on the channel Sunday reserving the right to recover even with a dip at the beach or a barbeque with friends.
But let's get to the point that you anticipate a few days ago. I noticed that now the top athletes, but not only, we are unifying the Slovak model would be practically a work focused on a personal basis. The only difference is perhaps the technical follow-up. Prey to Jasmin Schornberg as the Germans and Sebastian Shubert. You know all true, no need to tell you that you have won the World Cup in 2009 and has not yet 25 years, and Schubert in 2010 won the European U23 in K1? It seems strange indeed to see the two Teutonic training without follow-up of coaches, physio and doctors who regularly follow the German team, even the Germans have changed the coordinates giving the athletes to follow the path they choose by giving them freedom and up to € selections . Only fully fledged rally organized will be in Athens for ten days in March. So the two young men have not lost time and took the first free flight, they boarded a train to come to Penrith. The same can be said for Peter Kauzer, also here to paddle on the canal in the company of trusted sparring partner Jano Peterlin. Lefevre in Australia has found a home and, technical or non-technical team or team, grinding hours on the water sitting or kneeling. Might as well of course for his companion Dennis Gargau, taking advantage of the races in New Zealand, however, has escaped for a break from his task. There among the kiwi has imposed great in C1 much to shake even the K1 since qualifying clocked the fastest time overall. For the record I have to add that even though Fabien Lefevre was to reach the boat-mate, but ... missed the plane because he got stuck on the M4 for several hours in an accident.
David Ford, John Hastini, Benoit Peschier and Nicholas, and Helmut Violetta Oblinger, Maurice Nevau, Robert Bouten, Pierre Bourliau are in the same boat ... they also paddle on this channel without technical, but I decided to make a lot of good in view of the Olympic qualifying in Bratislava in September.
So we can safely say that the path opened by Martikan and friends are doing school, even if the Slovaks, from my point of view, will go to great until the sacred cows paddling, but then, inevitably, there will be a generational disaster, as that has created a real hole behind them, but maybe we'll talk about this again. I conclude Today's observation by pointing out that life is made up of courses and claims history. In fact, as early as 1984 groups of athletes, you see athletes and national teams, agreed to organize joint training camp. The first I attended was just as an athlete in that year to Kernville - California, present, besides the three Italians (Renato De Monti, Paolo Benciolini and myself), the British we had nicknamed "The Queen" with Elisabeth Sherman His fellow countryman, and of course sacred cows of the time as Jon Lugbill, David Hearn, David Ford, Cathy Hearn, Dana Chadlek and many others. Then, after the way the United States, began the era of Costa Rica on the river Reventazón. Good memories and many hours spent paddling in the company of those who shared a dream.
Eye wave! Ettore
Penrith, February 1
