I was very moved by her tears of joy at the end, you could really feel all the pressure coming off. She promised to win a medal for her grandfather and she did it, now she can retire in peace. thepharoah 1 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

She also needed that medal for her after all these injuries and misses , she really needed this medal and she got what she fought for so I'm also happy for her , even i wanted gold but bronze is better than nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, i knew that you would say that, you are really crazy. Noone predicted Italy to win so many medals and the part about Moioli is almost comical. You won pretty much every medal you were expected to win (except for Visintin) and even a couple more (shorttrack relay, Windisch, biathlon team relay, Tumulero), baffled to see someone not calling that overperforiming. Before the games you had 2-3 gold medal chances and now you have already 3, so no objective observer would say that you didn't have (almost) perfect results so far. If this really isn't overperforming, then there must be some websites out there that predicted this result.
