: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.

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Opening Ceremony Flag Bearers

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?

      I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

      If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great

      Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
