Canotorii români au excelat la Plovdiv. Sportivii romani s-au întors de la Campionatul European de canotaj cu 7 medalii : 3 de aur, 2 de argint și 2 de bronz. Mihai Chiruță a fost surpriza plăcută cu medalie de bronz la simplu, probă în care România nu a urcat niciodată pe podium. Un reportaj de Tudor Furdui. În calificări canotorii au fost de nota zece la Europenele de la Plovdiv. Au reușit să se califice cu 10 echipaje în finalele disputate în week end-ul trecut, confirmând faptul că România este o forță în canotajul european și mondial. Sâmbătă a fost o zi foarte productivă pentru că în 6 finale în care au participat, românii au obținut 6 medalii. Practic Nicio finală fără medalii a fost deviza canotorilor români la europenele din Bulgaria, prima competiție oficială după Jocurile Olimpice.Campioni europeniMai întâi, Simona Radiș și Magdalena Rusu, campioane olimpice, au concurat pentru prima dată împreună la o competiție de top, Campionatul Euopean în proba de dublu rame, demonstrându-și nu doar valoarea dar și maturitatea. Au câștigat proba și au devenit „Reginele” Europei. Asta după multe antrenamente pe luciul apei lacului Snagov, după multe concursuri interne. Ele reprezintă o mare certitudine pentru viitor pentru că cele 2 vor să ajungă și la JO de la Los Angelse. Simona Radiș a fost bucuroasă pentru că ea și colega sa au câștigat având un timp excelent.Seria viictoriilor a continuat cateva minute mai tarziu in proba similara masculina. Echipajul la dublu rame format din Florin Lehaci și Florin Arteni au luat deasemenea aurTot aur au luat în ultima finală a zilei, Ciprian Tudosă, Andrei Mândrilă, Sergiu Bejan și Ștefan Berariu. Ei au făcut o cursă fabuloasă în fața perechilor de frați Sinkovic/ Loncaric din Croația și au câștigat medalia de aur în finală la 4 rame. Medaliile de argintCampionii olimpici Marian Enache și Andrei Cornea au terminat pe locul doi în finală la dublu vâsle, fiind învinși de echipajul Poloniei. Marian Enache a spus că argintul a valorat pentru el cât un aur.Argint si pentru  Ancuta Bodnar,  Maria Lehaci, Adriana Adam si Amalia Bereș în proba de 4 rame, care au trebuit să se recunoască învinse în fața canotoarelor din Țările de jos. Amalia Bereș a spus ca nu este deloc dezamagita ca nu a terminat pe primul locDouă medalii de bronzDebutante la europene în proba de dublu vâsle, Andrada Moroșanu și Mariana Dumitru nu s-au speriat de palmaresul adversarelor, au făcut o cursă foarte bună și și-au adjudecat medalia de bronz. Andrada Moroșanu a spus cum a trăit cursa și ce înseamnă acestă performanță. Ziua de duminică a fost mai săracă în medalii. Echipajele de 8+1, atât cel feminin cât și cel masculin nu au reușit să urce pe podium fiind singura bilă neagră în palmaresul românilor la Plovdiv. Pentru echipajul fetelor este de înțeles pentru că după succesul de la Paris jumătate din componența bărcii a fost schimbată. S-a mers pe o formulă nouă de echipă, cu 4 debutante în care au dublat doar campioanele europene Simona Radiș si Magdalena Rusu. Și după 8 medalii de aur consecutive în proba regină a canotajului, România s-a clasat pe locul al 4-lea, la fel ca în 2016.În schimb, surpriza plăcută a venit duminică, de la Mihai Chiruță care a a obținut o medalie istorică într- o probă, cea de simplu, în care România nu a reușit niciodată să urce pe podium la vreo competiție internațională majoră.Chiruță a crezut în șansa sa, și la prima finală europeană în proba de simplu a reușit să își stăpânească emoțiile și să treacă al trelea linia de sosire. El a fost devansat de doi medaliați olimpici.Pentru canotorii români, următoarea competitie majoră este Mondialul din luna septembrie de la Shanghai.

La segunda ciudad más importante de Bulgaria es también una de las más antiguas de Europa. Poblada desde hace ocho milenios, Plovdiv ha visto desfilar diversas culturas por este estratégico lugar a orillas del río Maritsa, en la región histórica de Tracia. Sus siete colinas –seis desde que laminaron una para hacer adoquines– permiten estudiar el desarrollo de la antigua Filipópolis, como se llamaba en tiempos romanos. Su teatro, el foro y parte de un estadio son valiosos vestigios de la antigüedad hoy integrados entre calles y plazas. La profesora de arte Zvezda Nikova nos acompaña en este paseo que parte del promontorio de Nebet Tepe, recorre el casco antiguo, el bohemio barrio de Kapana y termina en el gran parque Tsar Simeon. Por el camino conocemos a la guía de turismo Mariana Kirilova y a las profesoras de español Veselka Nenkova, Elena Kermanova y Rayna Tancheva. Sus voces nos ayudan a componer este gran retrato sonoro de Plovdiv, destino imprescindible de la península balcánica que fue Capital Europea de la Cultura en 2019.Escuchar audio

The boys are back in Oliver Marketing for a combination of a discussion of Dan's week on the road and a stranger trip down memory lane. A reflective mailbag brings us back to Plovdiv in addition to spawning memories of a different time, an era of late night love letters on Galway Bay FM long before Johnny was whispering sweet nothings as a co-commentator watching his beloved Bohs and Galway. There's also a bit of chalice work, parental compassion, the hooligan collection box, the AI man makes another cameo, an unexpected diversion to Jordan and even some football conversation with Dan playing a small portion of Marc Canham's academy update. Is he the Chosen One? And why is it even pronounced that way? All of this senseless chatter is brought to you in association with our friends at Rascals Brewery, Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing & the immaculately pronounced Sport Cosanta

Welcome to our new podcast series, "REACHing Citizens," part of the "Reshaping Engagement through Affirmative Citizen Consultations (REACH)" project. Launched in 2024, this initiative is funded by the European Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) and brings together organisations from across Europe, including Serbia, Belgium, Kosovo, BiH, Bulgaria, France, Croatia, and Greece. In this first episode, we take you to Bulgaria, where we hear from Giulia-Maria Alberghi, a university student and participant in one of the citizen consultations in Plovdiv. She shares her insights on the challenges of democratic engagement in Bulgaria, focusing on the rule of law, media independence, and the role of critical thinking in the fight against disinformation. Join us as she talks about important topics and explore how civic participation can pave the way for positive change in Bulgaria. Interviewer: Daniela Mineva, Senior Analyst, Center for the Study of Democracy, Bulgaria Citizen: Giulia - Maria Alberghi, University Student of Philosophy, Politicacs and Society, University of Radboud, the Netherlands (nationality: Bulgarian), participant in the citisen consultation in the city of Plovdiv Giulia-Maria Alberghi emphasized that, in her view, the rule of law is the most critical of the three discussed topics. She highlighted Bulgaria's ongoing struggle to elect a stable government, with no resolution even after seven consecutive elections. Voter participation continues to decline, reflecting a broader erosion of trust in democratic institutions. Citizens increasingly distrust the media and question the independence of the Bulgarian judiciary. Giulia noted that while numerous legal and institutional reforms have been implemented under pressure from the European Union, these changes have failed to produce tangible benefits for ordinary people due to pervasive corruption. She referenced the widespread protests in Bulgaria during 2020-2021, pointing out that the grievances that fueled these demonstrations remain unresolved today. Another significant issue raised by Giulia was the lack of investigative journalism in Bulgaria. She explained that mainstream media often avoid publishing investigative reports, largely because of ownership ties to authoritarian or corrupt individuals. While social media provides an alternative platform for journalists, she shared instances where journalists using platforms like YouTube have faced threats. Additionally, both journalists and the public encounter challenges in accessing public data. Giulia also addressed the pervasive lack of critical thinking among the population, noting that people of all ages are susceptible to disinformation and propaganda. This contributes to widespread misunderstandings on topics like the Green Deal and the Euro. The absence of official fact-checking mechanisms on social media further exacerbates the problem. Despite these challenges, Giulia highlighted a positive aspect: many people are eager to discuss political issues. She urged civil society organizations (CSOs) to harness this interest by fostering dialogue and engagement. Platforms like Discord, for instance, host numerous groups dedicated to political discussions. In conclusion, Giulia-Maria Alberghi called for greater efforts to promote citizen discussions and consultations, education, and awareness-raising to address these pressing issues effectively.

LM motorruil te Plovdiv! Split-rudders en steilstarters. Vliegkámpschepen inplaats van vliegdékschepen, en een vliegtuigquiz op basis van geluid! Daar gaat het deze aflevering over. O ja, natuurlijk ook over de KLM, anders luistert er weer niemand. In het bijzonder over het wisselen van een motor in Plovdiv, hoe dat precies in z'n werk gaat. En wat een ondankbaar werk dat is.Verder: had de inzet van een Tucano in Zebreniza destijds nut had gehad? Of had-ie geen schijn van kans? En is dat wel een hanteerbaar begrip, in dit soort kwaaie zaken: in een oorlogssituatie 'geen schijn van kans' hebben? En wat dat Nederlandse vliegdekschip betreft: men denkt weer in die richting... zo blijkt uit allerlei schimmige berichten in de sociale media. Alle Nederlandse militaire velden worden in die visie een pracht van een villa-wijk, en van de opbrengst wordt een nieuwe Karel Doorman gekocht, die rondjes gaat draaien op de Noordzee. En wordt ook de inruil van F-35A's naar F-35B's gefinancierd. Weg geluidsoverlast, alleen jammer voor de spotters.Kortom: G&G oh'en er weer flink op los. Alleen getrainde luisteraars kunnen dat aan. U ook?

Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Manny Valentin. Manny Valentin was named Skidmore College's head men's and women's crew coach in May 2021. Valentin was previously the Saratoga Rowing Association (SRA) head varsity boys coach and the Advanced Rowing Initiative of the Northeast (ARION) men's coach. Valentin's athletes have had success on the national and international levels, with a men's lightweight quad winning the 2018 USRowing trials and then competing in the 2018 World Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Valentin was one of 13 coaches across all three divisions, including just one of just four coaches in Division III, to be recognized with the award. He represented the New York region under Division III.   In this week's episode, Manny shares how he leads by example and creates positive representation for his athletes. He makes sure to present himself as a man of color in professional spaces so that he can encourage other athletes of color to present themselves as authentically as they can. This kind of representation was not there for Manny when he first started so he ensures that the next generation will have that in him.  Follow Manny on:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emanuel-valentin/ Follow Pabel on: Website: https://plurawl.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plurawl/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@plurawl  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/plurawl/  Keep up with the podcast:  Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quientueres/message  Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quientueres/support Post-production for this episode was provided by CCST, a podcast production company.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Plovdiv, Bulgaria

When thinking of cultural European cities, Paris and Florence may come to mind. However, many would not have imagined Plovdiv, Bulgara, but those in the know would. In fact, Plovdiv was recently named the best cultural destination in Europe by EuropeanBestDestinations.com. This came as no surprise to our guest Cathy who developed a passion for Bulgarian music and dance while growing up in Chicago. When deciding where to live during retirement, Cathy knew she wanted to be in Bulgaria and in a city. Tune into why she selected Plovdiv as her home, on Episode 140 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.

Simply put, Aric Dromi fascinates us. A self-proclaimed futurologist, innovation strategist, philosopher and professional trouble maker, we caught up with Aric to discuss his new book The Intellectual Rage and his views and work in the area of innovation and disruption. On the day we caught up with Aric he was in Sweden and energized with insights and ideas. In our conversation he touched on: - The excitement he holds in helping companies see the forces that can help shape their future and view into what could happen and the great potential of would could be. - That most businesses need to hone a culture of innovation but they settle for modification and simple change. - The true purpose of leadership is not commanding but building a vision that others will follow. Great leaders are driven by curiosity and the passion of discovery and are intellectually hungry. - That you need to recognize that if you are the smartest person in the room then you are in the wrong room. - How most consulting has brilliantly failed businesses. That having the same advisors is not diverse enough in thinking and what he has built his practice to offer a revolving table of knights to shake up innovative insights for clients. - That human must rethink their relationship with technology. The axe was created to expand human potential, that's how we should look at tech and the rapid advancement of tech. Often, companies look at tech as a quick shallow solution. - A great advisor will help a company ideate, calibrate and educate. Aric Dromi is a highly respected keynote speaker, futurologist and innovation strategist. Aric spent years helping executives and decision-makers to refine their offer and understand the potential impacts that lie along the road ahead. His focus areas include: Automation and fast-tracking, Privacy, integrity, surveillance and legislation, Social trends and economic models, Transformation, smarter innovation and monetization structures, Mobility, logistics, energy, communication and smarted data, The reciprocal relationships between policy, society and technology, The future of cities and urban structures, The next frontier of Intelligence amplification in the era of VR, AR and AI.
