The cock IT 359054-23 “NEW HANNIBAL”, owned by Dumitrascu Alin (Turin, Italy), belongs to a very select group of pigeons that have proven themselves at the highest international level.

What makes this pigeon truly exceptional is that he represented his country at two Olympiads — an achievement reached by only a limited number of pigeons worldwide:

• Olympiad Maastricht 2024 — Category F (Youngsters)

• Olympiad Dortmund 2026 — Category A (Speed)

Qualifying for an Olympiad already requires consistent top performances over an extended period. Being selected again for a second Olympiad, in a different category and two years later, clearly demonstrates the outstanding quality, reliability, and class of this pigeon.

In addition, this cock achieved:

• 2nd National FCI Youngster 2023 — Italy

• 4th National FCI Speed 2025 — Italy

About the Fancier

Dumitrascu Alin was born in Romania and has been living in Italy for more than twenty years. Since 2012, he has been actively competing in pigeon racing in Italy.

His passion for pigeons started at a very young age and has remained a constant throughout his life. He deliberately keeps a relatively small team of pigeons, focusing on quality rather than quantity. Despite limited time, he has built a strong reputation with consistent performances in the sprint and middle-distance races.

Pedigree — 50% Ebben Blood on Both Sides

What makes this pigeon genetically remarkable is that both the sire and the dam are 50% bred from the loft of Will & Falco Ebben. This means the influence of this proven performance family is present on both sides of the pedigree.

Among the key pigeons from the Ebben colony in this pedigree are:

• “Hannibal”

• “Cyrus” 

• “Indy” 

The concentration of proven performance bloodlines on both sides of the pedigree, combined with the pigeon’s own exceptional race record, makes IT 359054-23 “NEW HANNIBAL” a pigeon of true international class.
