How will the results of the Italian athletes in athletics at the Beijing Olympics? Bad, there are rising stars on the horizon. The system of sport in Italy is based on belonging to military sports teams. To put it simply, our best athletes (and sometimes even those) are employed by the Police, Carabinieri, Guardia di Finanza, Forestry, Prison Police, aeronautical and military. And that's good because it allows an athlete to serious and ambitious to invest in on itself. The problem is that many athletes to join a sports team is the military point of arrival rather than departure. It's like being hired by the state in perpetuity. The athlete feels arrived and even get to stop practicing sport in a few years and then serve in arming the whole life. For many athletes is a short cut in the contest.
The Italian situation today with regard to athletics is a black hole. Most of the athletes is sitting on its fixed state salary. Something has to change. To do this, leaders must change the sport and need to change the rules. It will not happen quickly. Forget
So interesting results or medals for athletics at the Olympics in Beijing. Only hope some of the athletes of color naturalized affixed to mask the ineptitude of federal leadership.
