:ITA Arianna Fontana does it! With no Maliszewska I guess she was the best one to win.

today she was just untouchable...

 

10 Olympic medals for her (4 consecutive times on the podium of "her" 500m: bronze in 2010, silver in 2014 and now 2 golds in a row)...:bowdown:

 

and it's not over, yet...

I didn't want to jinx it before the final by saying that Shaoang almost never loses from lane 1.    1 gold and 2 bronze medals, truly an amazing Winter Games for us.

I don't understand the rules, but the chinese grabbing the other guy at the end is ok?

no, but it was the Hungarian that unbalanced the Chinese guy...he tried to grab Liu only because he felt he was going down to the ground...

 

of all the mistakes made by the jury, that call on the final straight of the 1000m medal race is the less disputable...

 

the true scandal was the call on Hwang in the semifinal race...

Fontana's scream wasn't in celebration as much as it was a release of the anger she's been carrying since returning from a year's break after the 2018 Olympics. Fontana won gold four years ago, but it was made clear that her husband and former U.S. short track skater, Anthony Lobello Jr., wasn't welcome as her coach.

"I'm kind of overwhelmed with a lot of different emotions — happy, relieved," Fontana said. "I don't usually yell, but it was a way to let it out, all that anger."

Italian federation officials passed Fontana in the hallway after her victory and didn't offer congratulations.

"I wasn't looking for them to come up to me," she said. "It's actually better if they stay away."

lol why does this only happen to Italy!?!

The Italian short track is based on the rivalries and the power games between small towns of Valtellina with a few miles of inhabitants, nothing new under the sun :p

Absolute disgrace. This will go right up there with the biggest robberies in the Olympic history. The whole tournament, I fear.

 

My problem with short track are indeed all those penalties. Isn't the whole idea of the sport to have a closely physical race between the skaters? Okay, I am not approving murders here, but every slightest contact getting penalized is ridiculous.

If it was up to me anything that isn't a judo throw or taking a short cut outside of the course limit would be allowed.  

  

No pushing penalties for pussies, no lane bullshit. Just go and murder each other :lol:

:GBR Christie with a good sense of humor here.

 

 

I do think this is part of the problem. The sport works fine at World Cup level where there’s dozens of races a weekend & you just get on with. But as soon as the Olympics roll around and the judges see the chance to get their faces on global TV…:roflmao:

 

But I do wonder if the sport is workable in a hyper-competitive environment.

The quality of the racing is definitively better at the world cup. Though I think an underrated issue is that the ice is also better at world cups. The venue being shared with figure skating makes the ice less than ideal.

      Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Qualification Systems

      By Topicmaster1010 · Posted

      Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024

      For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.

      They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there?

      That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.
