Se aproprie o noua editie a JO de Iarna, 2014 ....

Din Newsletterul primit si postat ieri pe blog am ajuns la concluzia ca, ar fi tare nimerit ca la fiecare editie a JO de Iarna sa existe si Competii de inot in bazin scurt [si numai probe de 50, 100, 200m. 

Iata textul [acum este dat la tradus...] pe care am de gand sa-l trimit organizatorilor care peste o saptamana se aduna la Laussaunne pentru a pune la punct detalii si alte probleme specifice IOC:


To
Mr. Jacques Rogge, Prez. of IOC, Laussanne
About: "Like many people, I consider New Year’s Day to be an opportune time to reflect on the past while looking to the future. This is especially true today, as 1 January 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of the founder of the modern Olympic Games, Pierre de Coubertin.”[by Mr. J.Rogge, in 1 Ian. 2013]
I recceive with great interest your newsletters and I thank you very much.
Now, in February 2013, I see that you talk about the Winter Olympics which will take place at SOCI in 2014 and I think that my proposal would have a chance to be at least remembered, discusses as a future project if for Soci Winter Olympics is too late …
I am a swimming coach at the age of 77; I have studied and written some things about the founder of the Modern Olympic Games, Pierre Fredy de Coubertin, especially about his predecessor, the Romanian landlord Evangelye Zappa; this is how I found out that Pierre de Coubertin himself in 1906 came to Bucharest to found the Romanian-French Sports Association, in order to evoke the precursor activity of the Modern Olympic Games’ of E. Zappa.
I evoke this moment because you have underlined that is better to know our “past” in order to project better the “future”…
Following these ideas I am trying to present you a project regarding the organization for the future Winter Olympics.
This is how it goes: in the last years at swimming there are many interesting short distance competitions; they have a distinct and separate calendar from IOC as the promoter of Modern Olympic Games.
I think that it would be very good if, from motivational point of view and in favor of increasing the preparation activity, to the Winter Olympic Games you should include short distance swimming competitions (only 50m, 100m and 200m!)
By this way the interval of 4 years between Summer Olympics would be split with short distance pool competitions (which don’t take place in Summer Olympics…) planned during Winter Olympics.
I believe that by this way you could offer an optimal rhythmicity for the world elite in short distance pools which I believe it is too frequent for top swimmers who are obliged to be always in maximal form, fact which has consequences on their sport longevity, etc.
As a new project, I believe it sustains the idea of universality of the organization activity of the Olympic Games, the main purpose of IOC and it shall offer one more objective for the development on international arena of the ideas of the modern Olympics and of the IOC.
Sincerely yours,                                                   prof. M. Olaru, Bucharest, Roumanie

 Primesc si citesc cu interes Newsletter-urile IOC, pentru care va multumesc.

Acum, in Feb. 2013,  vad ca veti discuta problemele legate de JO de Iarna care se vor desfasura la SOCI in 2014 si cred ca propunerea mea ar mai avea o sansa de a fi , macar, amintita, discutata ca proiect de viitor daca pentru JO Soci ar fi prea tarziu...

Eu sunt un antrenor de inot, din Romania, ajuns la varsta de 77 de ani; am studiat si scris cate ceva ds. fondatorul JO Moderne Pierre Fredy de Coubertin mai ales in legatura cu predecesorul sau, mosierul  roman  Evangelye Zappa; asa am aflat ca insusi Pierre de Coubertin, in anul 1906, a venit la Bucuresti pentru a fonda Asociatia Sportiva de prietenie Romano-Franceza, in scopul evocarii activitatii de precursor al JO Moderne a lui E. Zappa.

Evoc acest moment deoarece Dv. ati accentuat ca este bine sa cunoastem mai bine ’trecutul’ pentru a putea proiecta mai bine ’viitorul’.....

In acest context de idei eu incerc a va prezenta un proiect legat de Programul de organizare a JO de iarna, in viitor.

Iata despre ce este vorba: la inot, in ultimii ani au aparut, din ce in ce mai interesante intrecerile in bazin scurt; ele au un calendar de desfasurare distinct si separat de activitatea IOC ca promotor al JO Moderne.

Cred ca ar fi foarte bine, din punct de vedere motivational si in favoarea cresterii activitatii de pregatire sportiva ca la JO de Iarna sa fie incluse si  intreceri de inot in bazin scurt [ numai cele pe distantele de 50, 100 si 200m. !]

In felul acesta intervalul de 4 ani intre doua JO de Vara s-ar imparti cu intreceri in bazin scurt [inexistente in programul JO de Vara...] programate cu ocazia JO de iarna.

Cred ca astfel s-ar oferi o ritmicitate optima desfasurarii intrecerilor elitei mondiale in bazin scurt, apreciez eu, mult prea dese pentru inotatorii de Top, obligati a fi mereu in forma sportiva maxima, fapt care are repercursiuni si asupra longevitatii lor ca viata sporitva etc.

Fiind un proiect inedit eu cred ca totusi el sprijina ideia universalitatii activitatii de organizare a editiilor JO, sarcina principala a IOC si ar oferi inca un obiectiv in vederea dezvolarii, pe plan mondial a ideilor olimpismului modern si implicit a IOC.

Cu admiratie,
