dcro 10,210 Posted February 9, 2022 #53 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Geiger was impressive, but Greiderer stole the show. Which is surprising, since I really wanted Herola to finally catch Greiderer, but looks like another 6th place for him. He finished 6th in all three events of Pyeongchang. #banbestmen Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/10528-nordic-combined-at-the-winter-olympic-games-beijing-2022/page/6/#findComment-448183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerSaxony 205 Posted February 10, 2022 #54 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If Alessandro Pittin continues his career until Milano 2026, he will have competed at two home Olympic Games. I wonder if he would then become the first Winter Olympic athletes to do so? There might be some Austrians competing at both 1964 and 1976, but I'm not sure. In Summer Olympics there are of course some Americans that competed in both LA and Atlanta, Carl Lewis and Jackie Joyner-Kersee just to name a few.

Expand frankly, I hope we can find 5 athletes better than today's boiled Pittin in 4 years time... by the way, once the political troubles are solved within our federation and national team, Arianna Fontana in short track will be the second athlete to compete and the first to medal in 2 consecutive home Games (in 2006 she got the bronze medal with our 3000m relay at the age of 15 years and 10 months)...

Expand True. I doubt he'll ever improve in Jumping. But Buzzi and Bortolas do now look so bad, that should be two for 2026. I forgot about Fontana and Retornaz (maybe missed somebody else) who could also compete in 2026. phelps 1 Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/10528-nordic-combined-at-the-winter-olympic-games-beijing-2022/page/6/#findComment-448561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand He was probably too young to win one in 1964 and too old in 1976. Moreover in 1968 was still the luge king however a judge DSQ all three female East German lugers for heating the runners so maybe the DDR men actually didn't do it which enabled Schmid to win on even terms.
