She was world class at age 16.

In the GB senior squad at 12 and a World Cup winner at just 15. A precocious talent. I feel really sorry for her but at least she only has to wait three years for another opportunity.

She was in top form going into olympics, hopefully many more chances will come her away skeet shooters have long career.

In her sport, as well, let's face it, she's a prodigy who could very well be competitive into her mid forties if not longer. The odds are she'll be there in 2024 AND 2028 and quite possibly 2032. If SOMEONE has to miss out, one could argue amber will get a better chance to get what she's capable of than most.

 

Imagine being a women's gymnast covided out at your peak - sad enough when the phenomenal italian Georgia Villa was withdrawn for injury last week.

And personally, I hope by 2026 we get to see her in a Commonwealth Games Shooting tournament again!

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
