A 50 second shortened Super G or Downhill in Are would be a travesty. It was the only reason I supported the Italian bid. Cortina rarely has weather issues compared to Are.

by the way, Cortina will host only the women's alpine skiing...the men's events will be held in Bormio (which is way better than Cortina in terms of speed races's tracks)...:evil:

I would have preferred that over a relatively weak Winter nation like Italy getting two Olympics in close proximity...

that's almost offensive...

 

we're not existing in those non-sport freestyle activities, but we're one of the few nations having (a few, I must admit) medal chances (or being close to them) in almost every true Winter sport...:whistle:

 

not bad for a country that only care of Winter sports in less than 10% of their people and territories...:facepalm:

 

not to mention that we have some of the most iconic venues for Wintersports, where the athletes will be able to compete without having to cope with farcical tracks (especially those practicing the snow sports)...:evil:

Really only 10% of Italians care of Winter Sports? Then why hell they got it two times in so short time? Why not give it to countries who actually care about Winter Sports?? Yes in that case Italy IS a small winter nation then. 

 

Anyway with the corrupt IOC Sweden never will get WOG even we deserve it as Winter Nation.

Sweden didn't have the public support that was needed.  I was honestly very surprised to see Stockholm bidding after they dropped out of the 2022 bids.  Italy won on the basis of stronger public support.  Sweden didn't have it.  I preferred their bid, but I can understand why the IOC went with Milano-Cortina

But how has Italy the public support that’s needed if only 10% of the Italian people care about Winter Sports? :mumble:

Because there's a difference between caring about winter sports and supporting a winter sports event coming to your country.  Italy has a lot of the infrastructure in place and isn't as far spread as the Stockholm bid was.  I wanted them to get the Olympics to have a games in Sweden, but even though I know Swedes love their winter sports, I can understand why they wouldn't be so excited to partner with the IOC.  Especially when it would required having events from Are to Sigulda.

well, maybe 10% is a bit harsh, but surely, if you look at the Italian map, you can reasonably say that from Bologna going south, the interest is really marginal, no more than 2% of people regularly watch them on TV...

 

Winter sports are basically supported by the 3 big northern regions (Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto) and South Tyrol, where all the athletes generally come from (we only have few exceptions you can count on the fingers of one hand in terms of successful snow sports athletes coming from Emilia-Romagna or further South -the great Alberto Tomba above all...and Daniela Ceccarelli...and that's it for what concerns Olympic medallists)...

because the regions listed above represent about 35% of the entire Italian population...and here we have strong support for "our" Games...

 

basically, Italy is a 2-way Country...with the northern regions having mainly Continental weather, culture, way of life and the rest of the Country being a true Mediterranean Nation, with totally different culture, traditions, attitude...and that's at the same time our best resource and our worst problem (on the other hand, if you study Italian history, the first thing you can notice is that our "Nation" is only 160 years young...before that, we were just one territory with many different States sharing the area)...

If Vancouver Bid for 2030, Vancouver is The favorite 

1, The IOC does not want to have an Asian country for 2030, especially for winter games. 2018, 2020/21, 2022 and 2032 are Asian/Oceanic countries. 
2, USA host 2028 Game

3, Vancouver 2010 facility is still within the guidelines of the FIS and ISBF. 
 

If Vancouver is not in the race, Salt Lake is likely to be the favorite, because of point #1.

      Most Dangerous Women’s Batsman in Cricket History (2026 List)

      By cricbites · Posted

      When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.

      Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

      Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Qualification Systems

      By JoshMartini007 · Posted

      Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By Josh · Posted

      66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
