Panathlon Club Querétaro - 35 años!!
Published in News from Clubs
A través de estos, Treinta y cinco años, Los ahora panathletas, Nos subimos al tren.
Llamado Panathlon, Que circula sobre el riel, En la ruta del Deporte, Queretano y Mexicano.
Como pasajeros y luego, Como maquinistas un doce, De julio del ochenta y nueve, Lo recuerdo muy bien.
Desde entonces emprendimos, Este viaje sin retorno, Y hemos recorrido, Todo este largo territorio.
Entre rústicos y sofisticados, Los vagones de este tren, Están intercomunicados, Unos con otros.
Muchos paisajes, Aventuras, y experiencias, Muchos rostros, Se han atravesado.
Quisiera hablar, De todos aquellos Que han formado parte De este excelente club.
Brillantes panathletas, Convencidos de su Amor, Profundo y comprometido, Por el Deporte.
Dios los tenga cerca, Y los tenga como hijos, Predilectos y bendecidos, Todo nuestro cariño y afecto.
Los años no significan mucho, Lo realmente importante, Son los que están aquí, Los que forman este club.
Estos que trabajan, En bien del Deporte, Que le defienden y Le procuran bienestar.
Desde este tren, Por la ventana, Saco la cabeza y Miro al frente.
Allá a lo lejos miro, Todo lo que se puede hacer, Y aquí cerquita todo, Lo ya está hecho y ayuda.
Sigue mi asombro, Envuelto en celofanes, Con las palabras: Increíble, Asombroso y Maravilloso.
Porque el Deporte, Precisamente es eso, Ese esfuerzo continuo, Competitivamente coronado.
Hoy enfundado en las ideas, De Pierre de Coubertin y De José Mariá Cagigal, entiendo Mejor sus causas y sus razones.
También entiendo al Panathlon, Como esa vocación por servir, Al ser humano a través, Del Deporte y sus consecuencias.
Tengo un enorme gusto, Por estos primeros 35 años, Me siento orgulloso y agradecido,
Con mis mejores amigos y sus familias.

The International Maxibasketball Federation is a non-profit civil association, founded on 21 August 1991 in the city of Buenos Aires - Argentina.

“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Sports for Women” Panathlon International Round Table
Published in News from Panathlon International
“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Sports for Women”
Panathlon International Round Table – 14 June 2024 - Agrigento
A theme strongly wanted by the late President of the Commission for Culture, Science and Education, Eugenio Guglielmino. A topic that the International Council, at the time, had welcomed very favourably, considering it an extremely topical subject and still a crucial point. The proof is that at the next Olympic Games, for the first time, athletes will be represented equally for both sexes.
Protagonists of this Consensus therefore were the women: of great depth, committed to culture, sport and politics who, with their strong and engaging testimonies, provided much food for thought.
From gender equality to the elimination of all barriers in sport, to equal treatment and respect as persons. All coordinated by Brazilian Moderator Carlos Antonio Bramante of the CCSE of PI. Lively and stimulating then was the debate that involved both the audience and those connected. Piermarco Zen-Ruffinen (CH), a member of the CCSE will write the final report. The conference, available in Italian, English and French with subtitles in the required languages, can now be viewed online in its original version.
Panathlon International has elected its new President: Giorgio Chinellato
Published in News from Panathlon International
The 51st Elective General Assembly of Panathlon International and the 22nd International Congress entitled 'Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in sports for women' took place on 14 and 15 June 2024 at the Dioscuri Bay Palace Hotel, in Agrigento, the Italian cradle of classical Greek civilisation.
The Assembly proceedings were preceded by a welcome dinner at the 'Casa Barbadoro' restaurant in the Valley of the Temples. Participants were able to taste the history enclosed in the archaeological site through some typical dishes of Agrigento cuisine.
The Ordinary General Assembly was held on Friday, preceded by a minute's silence in memory of Eugenio Guglielmino. After the video greeting by IOC President Thomas Bach, the 130 voting Clubs approved the IC's Moral Report, the Secretary General's Organisational Report and the Treasurer's Economic and Financial Report on the final balance sheet. At the same time, the Erasmus SAMF project was presented by Fabio Figueiras and the PI Ambassadors Gwenda Stevens and Barbara Rossi.
Following the IC's reasoned proposal regarding the amount of dues for the two years following the current one, a lively debate took place, which ended with the non-approval of the proposal.
The work continued in the afternoon with the Round Table, which was very successful and well attended. We will publish a special report.
Speakers were: Ekoh Karichma (FR-CMR) - Professional Handball Athlete, Raffaella Masciadri (I) - Athlete-President of the CONI Athletes Commission, Maria Luiza Souza Dias (BR) - ISCA Vice-President, Carla Spielmann (CH) - PI Expansion Commission Member, Giusy Versace (I) - Paralympic Athlete- in connection.
Moderator: Antonio Bramante. Piermarco Zen-Ruffinen will draft the conclusions.
Friday ended with a Gala Dinner preceded by the Communication Award Ceremony, presented by Past President Giacomo Santini, during which the four winners received the prizes (consisting of a laptop)
for their work.
Afterwards the collaboration agreement with the International Maxibasketball Federation was made official and was signed by its President Rubén Rodriguez Lamas, member of the Panathlon Club Buenos Aires. The Panathlon Club Agrigento signed the twinning with the Clubs of Imperia-Sanremo and Mestre.
During the evening there have been many moments of emotion and thanks addressed both by the President and the outgoing Board. Finally, Past President Pierre Zappelli received the Domenico Chiesa Award from the outgoing Board members, presented to him by Vice President of the Foundation Enrico Prandi.
On the morning of Saturday 15 June, the discussion was resumed on the approval of the budget for the biennium 2025/2026 (which had been suspended the previous day due to the protracted work). The Assembly decided to postpone this item to a future Assembly, to be held online, to be convened by the new IB.
The General Elective Assembly saw the conclusion of the term of President Pierre Zappelli, who led the Movement for eight years.
The 184 voting Clubs expressed their preference following the presentation of three candidates: Giorgio Chinellato, Leno Chisci and Paul Standaert.
The first vote led to a runoff between Giorgio Chinellato and Paul Standaert and then to the election of the International President: the former International Board Member, Giorgio Chinellato won with 121 preferences.
The voting for the International Board members then took place, which was composed as follows: Carlos De Leon, Christian Garrabos, Fabiano Gerevini Stefano Giulieri, Luigi Innocenzi, Antonio Laganà, Gianpaolo Milan e Paolo Perin. After the first International Board meeting, the two Vice Presidents were elected: Stefano Giulieri - Deputy Vice President and Luigi Innocenzi - Vice President. Simona Callo was confirmed in the role of Secretary General.
Permanent members of the Auditors' Board were confirmed with the election of Giuseppe Ravasi, Andrea Sbardellati and Marino Albani, flanked by substitute members Nicola Fiore and Gabriela Loor Lopez.
The Constitution and Arbitration Board saw the confirmation of Sandro Carlo Fagiolino and Riccardo Galassi and the election of Rubén Rodriguez Lamas as full members. Substitute members: Franco Fähndrich and Adolfo Maiello.
To the newly elected members, warmest congratulations and best wishes for a good job!
