Ikkou deipnon @Juice Berry

Hey my athletes! Next Fri., Dec.9th from 11pm I'm gonna be back at Juice Berry to pay homage to "the best Olympic gymnast in Magna Graecia during V century B.C." (Pausanias). It deals with Iccus of Taranto.

He was the pentathlon (gr. pente-, five, + -athlon, competition: running, long jump, javelin throw, discus throw and wrestling, which divides into Graeco-Roman wrestling and freestyle one) winner of the LXXXIV Games (444 BC) or the LXX Games (472 BC) according to older sources, and the father of athletic dietology: he promoted diet as the basics of successful athletic work-out according to the "Ikkou deipnon or Icci Coena" (Iccus' dinner). In addition, he prepared himself physically before competing by following the ethical-religious Pythagorean concepts by abstaining from sexual intercourse as well. Actually, he is probably linked to the "Athlete of ancient Taras", whose glorious tomb was dug up on Dec.9th, 1959 at via Genova 9 in Taranto (IT): it showed off a skeleton of a 170cm-tall 77kg-weight and 30-year-old man originally surrounded by 4 urns, whose one has been lost, recalling all of his victories at the Panathenaics (gr. pan-, all + Athens: Games which took place in Athens only). Today, it is preserved at the National Archaeological Museum of Taranto.

The next appointment is two days after, Sunday 11th from 6pm again at Juice Berry, via Torino 162, Venice-Mestre (IT).

Wrestler Pietro Lombardi tribute @Juice Berry

Hey my bulges in tracksuits! :-) Next July 29th, 2016 is the LXXVIII anniversary of the beginning of the 1948 Summer Olympic Games held at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London, the first postwar Games, officially known as Games of the XIV Olympiad.

The Modern Olympic Games (improperly named Olympiads, which are the 4-year-long interval between the Games instead) were funded by baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1894 with the International Olympic Committee (IOC - Comité International Olympique, CIO) located in Lausanne (CH) to recall the ancient greek Games held in Olympia from the VIII century BC to the IV century AD. That's why, the first Olympics were held in Athens in 1896, whereas in 1924 the Winter version of them took place in Chamonix (FR).

Going back to the subject of the 1948 Summer Olympics, 16 wrestling events were contested: 8-weight-class freestyle competitions from July 29th to 31st and 8-weight-class Greco-Roman ones from August 3rd to 6th, 1948. In contrast to Berlin 1936 flyweight (up to 52kg) was added to the all wrestling styles, and the first flyweight Greco-Roman wrestling Gold was won by Italian Pietro Lombardi on Turkish Kenan Olcay (Silver) and Finnish Reino Kangasmäki (Bronze).

So, if you like wet bulges in tracksuits and sweaty bodies you cannot miss this tribute to the Italian wrestling champion @Juice Berry, via Torino 162, Venice (Mestre) next Friday from 11pm.
