So after all the early struggles :KOR still ends up at the top of the short track medal table at these games thanks to wins in both 1500m events.

 

Also, not sure if it was pointed out in this thread but all three women's individual event winners from 2018 successfully defended their titles. Truly astonishing. At least Choi and Shulting should be back to try defending it again in 2026 (Fontana apparently wants to retire due to a dispute with her federation).

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.

The biggest upset of the Olympics: no incident at all in a ten(!) person short track final.

What a chance missed for Valentina. :cry: 4th placed athlete from her QF qualified on time and she finished just behind.

 

Turned out to be the 25th place in the final analysis. Considering she just barely qualified in both events (1500 m on reallocation), I'd say two Top 25 results are an amazing achievement for our debut. Hopefully it's a start of something good.


EDIT: Apparently she broke both her PB and NR today, and by a margin. Couldn't have asked for more. :bowdown:

don't worry, our noc will fire all the ice federation's officials and coaches she wants to be replaced...

 

and we'll find the way to cover her with money to keep on going until 2026...

 

She and Goggia are not only the 2 most talented athletes we have, they're also the cover girls of our home Games...

 

p.s. another amazing stat...Fontana, Schulting and Desmet made all 3 individual finals...I don't think we've never seen 3 girls at the same time being so dominant over the whole range of distances...

Feels like there is some drama that hasn't really been covered by English-language media.

Today, immediately after the individual medal, Fontana accused in an interview "one of the medalists of the men's relay" (anyone who follows the Italian short track knows he was talking about Confortola) saying that, in agreement with the federation, he tried to do it in 2019/20 seriously injure causing her to fall in each training. That's why Fontana decided to go in Hungary some years ago

      Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).

      WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      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...

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
