Why do African athletes need Italian coaches..?

Henry Rono didn't. Though he was before the Italian invasion.

why? Isn't multiculturalism in reverse just lovely?

Probably the sole purpose of hiring Whites coaches and managers is because they are most qualified for the jobs.

Because they have access to the pharmaceuticals.

Duh.

I suspect this thread will be civil and informative.

Access to good pasta and pasta recipes of course.

A Better Question, Why don't Italian Coaches develop Italians into at MINIMUM as good as they were? Panetta, Antibo, Cova etc.? All they have now is Crippa who did Smash the Italian Record in the 10000 (He Ran 27:10) a couple of weeks ago.

they LIKEA dA SAUCE

Clearly they do not have the depth they once had.

Wouldn't the Italian Coaches Make more Money if they developed Italian Athletes to the same level as they develop Kenyan and Ethiopian Athletes? Like sub 3:30 for 1500, under 12:50 for 5000, under 8:05 for the Steeple, Sub 59 for the Half Marathon, sub 2:05 for the Marathon?

I guess it is not all about money with them.

Are you 12? Everyone kinda knows they're using the Africans for a sociopolitical agenda. They herd the Africans into Europe in droves so they must show on the world scale how wonderful and superior of a people they must be so it should be a privilege to bring them in en masse, procreate like rabbits and rape the local population for the future purpose of completely eradicating the original ethnicity.

Athletics is one of the easiest ways to do this since its just running and you can secretly dope anyone you want in order to become a successful and very visible "winner". They will never dope a real Italian to be a superstar. It HAS to be an African.

You have to know this? My cousins are 15/16 and they are aware.

Yep. Civil and informative alright.

I kinda wanna know WTF is up with Africans being coached by Italian coaches the likes of Canova and Rosa? Don’t the Africans have their own coaching staff at this point? Are the Canova/Rosa types just opportunistic pimps or ...?

Is there anything connecting the ROSA group with Canova? Where are their training groups located and what is the difference in their methods?

What is the ROSA group? Is that Crippa's? I thought he ran for the police club. I would assume its located somewhere in the North.

Not a complicated matter to figure out. A few influential Italian coaches have cultivated a relationship in a region where A) there is a legacy from Italian colonial history (Ethiopia, Eritrea and part of Northern Kenya), and B) there was an immense talent pool of runners who could benefit from coaches with resources and connections to Europe and North America. There are many Italians in East Africa pursuing many endeavors.

They do. Most of the best coaches in Kenya are Kenyan. How many athletes did Canova have at the World Champs? AK has passed rules making it very difficult for foreign coaches to operate in Kenya.
