"El movimienio olimpico sudamericano post covid19"

On Saturday, June 13th, with the participation of President Pierre Zappelli, the IB Member for America José Pilar Sanchez, the presidents of the District Mexico, Uruguay, Peru, Brazil and Chile, Coco Samaniego, Edgardo Ettlin, Luis Moreno, Pedro Souza and Edmundo Gurovich, and the presidents of the Clubs of Buenos Aires, Mexico, Queretaro, Punta del Este, Maldonado, Guayaquil, Recife, the panathletes and students of the University of Mexico was held the meeting of the Panathlon America.

Speakers were Dr. Alicia Masoni de Morena, Vice President of the Argentine Olympic Committee, member of the IOC and Panam, and member of the Constitution and Arbitration Board of the Club Buenos Aires, who referred to the current and future scenario of Olympic athletes in Argentina. She added that quarantine was observed for 90 days, the mandatory social distance, the closure of activities, and therefore Olympic and non-Olympic athletes could not train, except in their homes and virtually with their coaches. Faced with the numerous presentations made by the President of the Olympic Committee Gerardo Werthein, and the qualified athletes for Tokyo, today was signed a decree of national government, in which in the first stage is allowed the training of qualified athletes, and in a second phase the training will open for those who can still be qualified. The whole protocol of safety, hygiene, transfer, and care is in the hands of the federations that must guarantee it to their athletes.

Our President, Pierre Zappelli, explained the details and plans for the International Assembly and the Congress in October.

The possible modalities of participation in the next General Assembly will be discussed during the International Board, scheduled for 26 June by videoconference.

As for the Congress, we might consider the opportunity, coordinated by the SCC, to follow this international event by videoconference. For example, give a weekly conference with this group alternating each country and with a theme to be developed by the District. Dates and expositions will be communicated from time to time.

DES MASQUES POUR DIRE MERCI!

Lors de l’édition 2020 de la course relais des 1000km du Fair Play (qui aura lieu du 8 au 12 septembre 2020), le monde sportif va rendre hommage aux héros de la crise sanitaire Covid-19 en tissant « la toile des valeurs » entre des lieux représentatifs des secteurs mobilisés pendant cette crise en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. Lors de cet événement, les relayeurs porteront un masque de protection en tissu sur lesquels sera imprimé un MERCI reprenant les métiers* des héros de cette crise sanitaire.

The President’s Committee of PI during the meeting on 4 June, among the various decisions taken, has assessed, taking into account the improvements in the European continent of the pandemic and hoping that this positive situation will soon be repeated in South America and the rest of the world, to maintain the dates of 17-18 October to carry out its Elective Assembly together with the International Congress, in the city of Osimo.

At the next International Board convened for 26 June, the situation will be discussed and re-evaluated and the International Board will make a final decision on the convening of the Assembly, which will still be carried out only if the international health situation allows it and following the instructions of the WHO and the governments.

A question not new and already debated within Panathlon International came up again: the use of the panathletic symbol in the institutional and individual communication of individual members.

At the recent meeting of the President’s Committee, in the face of recent private statements by members on social media, with the display of the symbol, the question was raised about the appropriateness of such free use.

The President’s Committee reiterated the line already adopted in the past to reserve the right to display the symbol only to institutional bodies in their official communications and documentation, namely:

- International bodies

- National districts

- Areas

- Clubs

The individual debate among members is positive and providential for internal dialectics but must take place under the regime of total freedom and therefore engage personal opinions that cannot be supported by the symbol of all.

Mercoledì 27 maggio alle ore 20.30 il Club Sondrio organizza una videoconferenza sul tema "Senza giro"
