My Kitten's Stomach Is Swollen

Italian Championship - two days funny! Roll

It ended the second edition of the Italian Championship Eskimo 2011: Saturday 12 and Sunday, March 13, 2011 the pool managed by the Brotherhood of Genoa Pontedecimo Swimming is filled for the second consecutive year of paddling and fun!
The fun was great and was obviously shared by all participants at the event, both by canoeists in the water by the public at the poolside, who rushed in excited two rainy days lived this long weekend dedicated to the games in kayak.
Unfortunately, because of inclement weather we could not enjoy, like last year, the green space in front of the swimming pool: the number of boats on display, however, were soon lying in water and the tank was immediately filled with curious kayakers to test old and new models.


thank the sponsors speakers who contributed to the success of the event: Diego Zanga's Rainbow, which provided the boats for the river and that evidence of the discipline has also tickled the curiosity of many by introducing a beautiful painting by SUP; Sandro Spagnol di CSCanoe che ha fatto la felicità di molti presentando in anteprima il suo nuovo kayak groenlandese 550 (che attende ancora di ricevere un nome più appropriato), oltre al Greenland T della Tahe Marine ed al vecchio e glorioso Sea Pearl, tutti modelli che saranno messi a disposizione ancora a Bibione dal 17 al 20 marzo prossimi; Giuseppe Di Mauro della Overline, che pur non essendo presente, ha fatto arrivare uno Spirito Inuit, di cui è diventato felice proprietario il CKF per gli allenamenti della prossima stagione, ed un fiammante Tikit rosso messo per l'occasione a disposizione dall'associazione Sullacqua.


The pool was a hive of paddling and rolling for the two-day event: a half bath has always been available to anyone who wanted to experiment with a paddle in safe waters, like the intrepid boy on the Tikit, or learn new figures eskimo Greenlandic or simply understand the differences between the different models of kayaks there. Not only members but also the performances of those participants were able to exchange information and have fun and it was great curiosity to see how the river will also be appassioanti Greenland maneuvers, demonstrating versatility.


The two
kayak made entirely by hand by Piero Nichilo have been tried by almost all the paddlers in the tank and have attracted strong interest among the public: the presence of one of the most famous Italian manufacturers of KLI has certainly enriched the sporting event and we are confident that cooperation will continue in an even more profitable in the near future, as new initiatives are already underway for the third edition of the 2012 Championship.


The event also hosted a number of important and exciting cultural and artistic moments: during the Saturday evening, in fact, in the exhibition hall made available by the Brotherhood swimming, it was possible to enjoy three shows are especially popular and arranged around the beautiful kayak made by Niko de Florio according to the techniques of Greenland, a model purposely left without outer coating to enhance the constructive lines of wood.


While the shirts were on display poolside with a splash of bright colors that did not pass unnoticed on the upper floor has been carefully arranged photos of Luciano Belloni, artistic lamps Rosaria Guidotti and watercolors by Charles Pezzana, all works in the background "water-canoe" which have received excellent feedback and will be on display again next March 19 at the Castello di Genova Nervi at a new initiative organized by the Circle Canoaverde.


The evening reached its climax with the presentation of the pending project ItaliAmmassalik by Ottorino Tosti, an avid glaciospeleologo Genoese who had become a close friend of several paddlers who have joined with enthusiasm to his project and are supporting the its commitment to small and remote communities of Greenland: we were able to preview the national boards of the photographic exhibition which will be staged at the National Museum, Genoa from April 16 to May 31, 2011 and then will run in Italy ; other venues, we also had the good fortune to hear a rare interview given last year to just Ottorino Tosti Italian by the explorer Robert Peroni, who since 1980 lived in that small community and that, in heartfelt manner explained the reasons that should prompt us all to strive to preserve the Inuit culture in general and that of Ammassalik in particular.
The project is open to the collaboration of all those individuals or groups, want to support the efforts initiated by the knowledge of that ancient reality and we were particularly pleased to see that after the comparison of one evening have already been identified some interesting areas of action that will certainly follow up constructive ...


The presence of Aldo Scaiano of the Arctic Circle made us realize once more that the sporting event has been able to break the banks of the world canoe and managed to attract other cultural associations: him and his organization are our warmest thanks for the recognition and support.
The day of Sunday was just as fun and cheerful pool always full of kayaks, always participated in public reimbursement bathtub, always attended performances and sparkling conclusion with the new rules introduced this year dell'eskimo team.


waters were compared in the two teams and Canoaverde Sullacqua, in a game of somersaults in the water run in synchronized timing (almost) perfect, which really involved and passionate the audience as well as amused and impressed even the very same competitors who were still there at the end of performance in the water to pass information and tips for successful operation of this or that ... and to cultivate good intentions for training team for the next edition.
