Caracas, 26 September 2012
In a flawless opening
with assistance of high-level personalities, athletes and ambassadors, and the
presence of more than 1,000 athletes from 16 Nations, IX Championship world of
DOMINO of the FID, in the city of Valencia, Venezuela, was carried out in an
edition which ended very successful, thanks to the excellent cooperation of the
Venezuelan Federation of Domino (FVD) and to the International Domino
Federation (FID).
It began with the
youth tournament of the FID: "Quick count of the dominoes", chaired
by the master expert Vladimir Korneev, President of the Domino Federation of
St. Petersburg, Russia.
Followed the annual
General Assembly of the FID, in the presence of Presidents and delegates of the
present Nations that determined and approved the two next world of the FID:
June 2013, ORLANDO, FL., USA and June 2014, MEXICO, in its capital.
The next three days,
completed 4 sport disciplines, namely team (4 athletes), for couples (2
athletes) and INDIVIDUAL women's and INDIVIDUAL men. However, the Board of
Directors of the IDF determined are required four consecutive days for the next
performance of a World Championship. Gold, silver and bronze medals of the IDF
for all modes, as well as cash prizes were awarded.
During the great event
was awarded the "Prize for excellence, William Almodóvar",
corresponding to the year 2012, the President of the Venezuelan Federation of
Domino, Prof. Efraín Velásquez for their hard work and dedication towards the
image of domino as a sport, achieving a national and global recognition.
Similarly, the
President of the Fidelity, Lucas Guittard, promoted for this year President
Award, which rewards the most personality in the promotion of our sport, which
was obtained by the President of the Domino Federation of the Republic of
Abkhazia, Artur Gabunia.
It is important to
mention that the world event was recorded in large part, including the
respective finals, by DIRECTV, as well as interviews with athletes and
officials of these Nations.
I wish to conclude,
but not before, mentioning the overshadowed panorama and deplorable actions of
a group of participants that an unworthy spectacle against the director-general
of the FID Manuel Oquendo, impeccable person and distinguished directors and
one of the most valuable founders of the IDF.
These are attitudes
that we don't deserve the FID because we are all valuable and this cruel action
shows the total absence of culture by their protagonists.
LUCAS GUITTARD
President
