XXV Campeonato de España Open de Aguas Abiertas SEVILLA El 10k abre el telón en el corazón del Río Guadalquivir

 

Arranca un XXV Campeonato de España Open de Aguas Abiertas (y XIII Campeonato de España Open Máster de Verano) que centrará el foco de la actividad nacional de nuestras aguas abiertas en el precioso enclave del corazón del Río Guadalquivir a su paso por Sevilla. Con una temperatura del agua óptima de unos 23º y unas mañanas que se esperan frescas en la capital andaluza, viviremos tres días de competición con los y las mejores nadadores/as del panorama nacional y con billetes también en juego para campeonatos internacionales. Todo, en connivencia con la FAN (Federación Andaluza de Natación), el ayuntamiento de Sevilla, la Junta de Andalucía y el CEAR La Cartuja.

Carlos Garach y Ángela Martínez consiguieron en Cerdeña hace un par de semanas su plaza para el 10k del Campeonato del Mundo de Fukuoka (Guillem Pujol y Candela Sánchez marcas de consideración), pero el área aún debe comunicar (el próximo lunes) la convocatoria completa para la prueba en tierras niponas. Y hay billetes en juego todavía para el 5k y el relevo.

Empezará la acción el viernes a partir de las 10:00 (en directo por Teledeporte/RTVE Play) con los 10 kilómetros masculinos y femeninos (absoluto y júnior) y el 7,5k júnior masculino y femenino. Aquí veremos nadar a referencias de nuestras aguas abiertas como Carlos Garach, Alberto Martínez, Guillem Pujol, María de Valdés, Candela Sánchez o Ángela Martínez.

La gran mayoría de protagonistas repetirán el sábado (10:00, en directo por Teledeporte/RTVE Play) con el 5k. Una prueba que, como decimos, tiene ese trasfondo de la convocatoria para el Campeonato del Mundo de Fukuoka. Si bien no hay una clasificación directa por posiciones/resultados, sí tendrá el área muy en cuenta las actuaciones de los deportistas.

Para el domingo, la prueba de relevos (4x1.250 metros) por clubes.

PALLANUOTO Champions League Finale bis Novi Beograd - Recco

 

La Pro Recco non lascia scampo agli ellenici del Vouliagmeni e sabato in finale, inizio alle 21.00, difenderà il titolo di bicampione d'Europa contro i padroni di casa del Novi Beograd, nel remake dell'atto conclusivo della final eight 2022 che vide i recchelini imporsi 17-16 ai rigori. La Pro Recco mette nel mirino il terzo trionfo consecutivo, dodicesimo complessivo; i serbi il primo storico successo.

La squadra di Sandro Sukno supera 12-8 nella seconda semifinale della Final Eight il Vouliagmeni che ai quarti aveva battuto 11-10 l'AN Brescia. Meglio in avvio i greci, avanti 5-3 nel secondo tempo; poi i campioni d’Italia riequilibrano il punteggio con Fondelli ed Echenique che timbrano il 5-5 a metà gara e successivamente allungano con il gol in extra player di Fondelli, il rigore trasformato da Younger , la sassata dal perimetro di Cannella, la sciarpata di Hallock e la conclusione dal lato corto di Di Fulvio per il determinante 10-5 dopo tre quarti di gara.

BRESCIA ALTRO KO. Il Brescia, fermato a sorpresa dal Vouliagmeni nei quarti, perde anche la semifinale per il quinto posto. I vice campioni d'Italia sono battuti 9-8 dai campioni d'Ungheria del Ferencvaros, superati dalla Pro Recco nei quarti. I ragazzi di Alessandro Bovo giocheranno la finale per il settimo posto con lo Jug Dubrovnik venerdì 2 giugno alle ore 19.

Il primo gol è degli ungheresi con Argyropoulos in extra player, Brescia pareggia con Vapenski, l’attaccante più in forma del momento, ma i magiari tornano avanti fino al 4-2 di Varga (doppietta) alla metà del secondo tempo. Brescia si riaccende e produce quattro nitide occasioni da gol: due di queste vanno a segno con Kharkov in superiorità e Di Somma con un gran tiro dai sei metri. Al cambio campo nuovo break del Ferencvaros che torna a +2 e contro-break dei bianco azzurri che pareggiano con Luongo e Alesiani. Brescia va ancora alla conclusione con Vapenski due volte e nel finale di tempo con Luongo ma viene sempre stoppato dalla difesa degli ungheresi, pronti a ripartire e rendersi pericolosi (Varga e Argyropoulos ci provano da sei metri). In avvio di quarto tempo Merkulov costringe Lazic al fallo da rigore e Argyropoulos riporta avanti le calottine blu. Trascorrono tre minuti e Gianazza, servito al centro da azione d’angolo, fa 7-7 in semirovesciata. Passa un altro minuto e Di Somma (doppietta) in extra player realizza il gol del primo vantaggio bresciano. Azione successiva, Dolce va nel pozzetto per venti secondi e Varga pareggia sfruttando l’uomo in più (tripletta personale). Quando mancano 48” secondi alla fine, dopo l’espulsione di Kharkov (terzo fallo) la panchina del Ferencvaros chiama il timeout: Merkulov segna il nuovo vantaggio dei campioni d’Ungheria. Ultimi 32” da giocare e questa volta il timeout lo chiama Alessandro Bovo: si gioca, Varga finisce nel pozzetto, ma Renzuto non ha fortuna. Nei due precedenti nel girone B preliminare c'era stata una vittoria per parte: 8-4 per Brescia il 30 novembre e 10-6 per Budapest il 10 maggio.

CHAMPIONS SU SKY. Tutte le partite delle squadre italiane saranno trasmesse in diretta da Sky Sport Arena.

Si gioca nella piscina "Vlaho Orlic", all'interno del centro sportivo 11 Aprile: una data legata anche alla storia della Pro Recco che l'11 aprile del 1965 vinse la sua prima coppa dei campioni contro gli jugoslavi del Partizan Belgrado.

L'edizione del 2022, come quella del 2021, ha visto imporsi la Pro Recco che ha battuto ai rigori in finale (17-16) i padroni di casa della VK Novi Beograd; l'AN Brescia ha chiuso al quarto posto, sconfitta 14-12 nella finale per il terzo dalla FTC Telekom Budapest. Le due squadre italiane arrivano alla Final Eight dopo aver concluso l'AN Brescia al primo posto il girone B e la Pro Recco al secondo il gruppo A, preceduta dal Barceloneta.

La città di Belgrado ospiterà anche le prossime due edzioni della fase finale della Champions League, dopo l'accordo raggiunto lo scorso anno dalla LEN con l'ambiziosa squadra serba del Novi Beograd, che avrà garantita la wild card per le finali fino all'edizione 2023-2024.

Artistic Swimming elite ready to compete at the World Cup Super Final in Oviedo, Spain

 

The best Artistic Swimming athletes are in Oviedo, Spain for the World Aquatics Artistic Swimming World Cup 2023 - Super Final. The three-day competition starts on Friday and runs through Sunday (2-4 June).

The competition features athletes from National Federations that achieved a top-twelve cumulative ranking in the eleven events contested across the three World Aquatics Artistic Swimming World Cup stops of 2023 -  Markham, Canada; Montpellier, France, and Somabay, Egypt.

A popular tourist destination, Oviedo is the capital city of Asturias in northern Spain. A historic city with a rich cultural heritage, lively and vibrant Oviedo is home to historical monuments and several theatres, cinemas, and concert halls. The Super Final, which will be held at the Piscinas Parque del Oeste, is the final stop on the World Cup circuit and will serve as a major test for the athletes ahead of the World Aquatics Championships - Fukuoka 2023.

Fukuoka's second edition of hosting the world championships runs from 14-31 July. Oviedo is the final chance for athletes to show their form and routines before the big show.

Twenty-two National Federations are slated to compete in the eleven events scheduled for the three-day competition. The field of participants is loaded with medal winners from the first three World Cup series, forecasting an exciting competition, especially with the new scoring system which has changed the sport’s future.

In the Female Solo events, the reigning World Champion and winner of three gold and one silver medal in the 2023 series, Japan’s Yukiko Inui,  is joined by the silver medalist of the 2022 Budapest World Championships, Ukraine’s Marta Fiedina, who took home one gold from Markham and one silver medal from Montpellier.

The pair is joined by several other World Cup medalists, Spain’s Iris Tio Casa, Canada’s Audrey Lamothe, Slovakia’s Viktoria Reichova, France’s Oriane Jaillardon,  and Germany’s Marlene Bojer.   Surprisingly, the 2022 Super Final Champion in the both the Female Solo events, Austria’s Vasiliki Alexandri is missing from the lineup.

This World Cup series’ most successful male athletes will be competing in the Solo events. Spain’s Fernando Diaz del Rio Soto, winner of one gold, two silver and two bronze medals thus far and also the reigning Super Final Champion in both the Solo events, will once again face Colombia’s Gustavo Sanchez and Kazakhstan’s Eduard Kim. Sanchez has claimed two silver and two bronze medals, while Kim has claimed two silver and 1 bronze medal in the previous stops.

The Female Duet events may once again provide surprising results with China, Japan and Austria absent from the lineup, the competition is expected to require perfect execution of the declared degrees of difficulty to claim the podium spots.

The 2022 World Championships silver medalists, Ukrainians Maryna and Vladyslava Aleksiiva, as well as the 2022 Super Final silver medalists, Dutch duet Bregje de Brouwer and Marloes Steenbeek are joined by the Israeli duo, who brought Markham to its feet in March, Shelly Bobritsky and Ariel Nassee.

Other 2023 World Cup medal winners competing this weekend are France’s Anastasia Bayandina and Eve Planeix, Spain’s Iris Tio Casa and Alisa Ozhogina Ozhogin, and Great Britain’s Kate Shortman and Isabelle Thorpe.

Although the entries for the Mixed Duet events include a few regularly paired duo’s from this season, Spain, who has been on the podium in five of the six Mixed Duet events this year, will be competing with different pairings of their athletes. Last year’s Super Final Champion in both the Technical and the Free routine, Spain’s Emma Garcia then paired with retired Pau Ribes,  is scheduled to compete in only the Technical event with Dennis Gonzalez  Boneu.

Garcia’s partner at all three stops this season was Fernando Diaz del Rio Soto, who is listed as the reserve in both events. Gonzalez Boneu, winner of a gold and a silver medal in Markham with, will pair with Mireia Hernandez Luna in the Free event. The 2022 Budapest World Championship Bronze medalists, Chinese duo Haoyu Shi and Yiyao Zhang won the gold medal in the technical event in Montpellier, while Shi paired with Wentao Cheng accomplished the same feat in Markham.

Although both medals were won in the Technical event, the Chinese are scheduled to compete only in the Free in Oviedo. Other World Cup medal winners aiming for the podium include seasoned Colombians, Jennifer Cerquera Hatiusca and Gustavo Sanchez, Kazakhstan’s Nargiza Bolatova and Eduard Kim and Belgium’s Renaud Barral and Lisa Ingenito.

The number of countries in the Team events may be on the lower side, however, the presence of powerhouses China and Ukraine, besides Canada, Spain, France, Israel, and Kazakhstan guarantees a competitive event with spectacular routines showcasing the athleticism and grace of the athletes.

Si attendondo conferme, invece, da un ritrovato Francesco Porco apparso in grande forma al recente British Championship di Sheffield.

Nazioni e società presenti. Bolzano Nuoto, Club Aqualima (Perù), Brasile, Canada, Repubblica Ceca, Georgia, Norvegia, Romania, Sudafrica, Italia.

Gli azzurri a Bolzano.

World Triathlon's Secretary General Antonio Arimany elected Vice President of the Court of Arbitration for Sport

 

World Triathlon is proud to announce that its Secretary General, Antonio Fernández Arimany, has been elected Vice President of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), in elections held today in the Olympic capital, Lausanne. Mr. Arimany, a member of the Tribunal since 2018, becomes the first Spaniard to reach a position of such responsibility in the regulatory framework of international sport. Among the new members of the Tribunal elected at the Lausanne Assembly is also the double Olympic medalist in triathlon Nicola Spirig (Switzerland).

"It is an honor for me personally, and for the entire International Federation, to have our Secretary General serving as Vice President of the most important legal institution within sports governing bodies, which means that our voices will be heard and that we will continue to work towards best practices and learn from the best in the world. At World Triathlon we are extremely proud that members of our Executive Board, and especially Mr. Arimany, can cooperate in such prestigious international institutions, further proof that our policies are correct, and that our members are highly respected internationally," said Marisol Casado, World Triathlon President and IOC Member.

"I want to extend our most sincere congratulations to our Secretary General for his excellent work on all legal issues in recent years, both in our Federation and when he has had to practice at iCAS, a brilliant performance that has earned him his election now for this position", she added.

"It is an honor for me to have been elected Vice President of an institution that represents the highest exponent of the legal environment in the sports field. I promise, as I have always done, to carry out my duties with all my effort and loyalty, to ensure the defense of the rights of athletes and sports institutions", said Mr. Arimany.

Mr. Arimany was elected in 2018 as a member of iCAS, the CAS government body in charge of its administration and finances. It is made up of twenty international judges and lawyers active in judicial, international arbitration and sports administration. Arimany is also President of the Legal Advisory Group of the International Association of Summer Olympic Federations (ASOIF) and is a member of the Spanish Olympic Committee. He also has extensive experience in the Olympic Movement, where he has worked for the Athens 2004 Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee, as well as in various Olympic bid processes.

In December 2016, Mr. Arimany was elected Secretary General of World Triathlon, a position he still holds today. He was previously General Director of this institution since 2014 and, between 2010 and 2014 he had the functions of Legal Administrative Director and Financial.

The CAS is an independent international legal institution based in Lausanne (Switzerland), and is responsible for resolving legal disputes in the sports field through arbitration and mediation. The jurisdiction of the CAS is recognized by all Olympic sports federations, the International Olympic Committee and many non-Olympic federations. The CAS registers around 600 cases per year.

At the CAS meeting held in Lausanne to vote on the composition of the Court for the next four years, the following appointments have been approved:

- President: Mr John Coates AC, from Australia.

- Vice Presidents: Michael Lenard (USA), Elisabeth Steiner (Austria) and Antonio F. Arimany (Spain)

- President of the Appeals area: Corinne Schmidhauser (Switzerland)

- Vice President of the Appeals Area: Elisabeth Steiner (Austria)

- President of the Ordinary Area: Carole Malinvaud (France)

- Vice President of the Ordinary Area: Giulio Napolitano (Italy)
