Rules say that in this case Slovakia as the lowest ranked host country is switched with Spain.

2-3 is the worst possible result for Italy, they would have lost 0-3 or 1-3 if they wanted to lose on purpose. Now they'll have to travel to Slovakia to face Slovakia, then to Poland again to face Russia. And then Serbia in semifinal.

now CEV announced the schedule. nothing changed for Italy except now they have to go to Slovakia, win the match and then come back to Poland for the QF !!! :facepalm:so obviously they didn't lose on purpose (unless they didn't know the rules completely which is unlikely) .

 

I was thinking why coach is not replacing Sorokaite but then after checking Italy's roster, there is no other reliable OH in their squad ?! :yikes: I can see Lucia Bosetti in the list but I assume she is injured or something, there is no other way to explain how she was absent the whole tournament. (I can't remember I even saw her on the bench or anywhere else). but where is her sister ? where is Pietrini ? I know Sorokaite is OP and obviously not a good receiver, even Sylla is not a good receiver. things don't look good for Italy with such a weak reception :( and with no reserve OH. even beating Russia/Belgium is not a sure thing.

There was like an interview a day on a certain newspaper...Mazzanti, De Gennaro, Danesi all knew about the rules. They just tried to win instead of resting some players and losing 0-3 or 1-3.

 

L. Bosetti is injured and trying to recover for the quarterfinals. Pietrini was in the roster but a few days before the tournament she asked Mazzanti to go home because she is not in a good physical and mental condition. They wanted to call C. Bosetti but it was too late, she had been on holiday for a while and was in bad shape, so Mazzanti chose Enweonwu (another Opp.) from the u20.

how come a team like Italy had no plan B !? you always need some players on stand by. Pietrini put Italy in a really bad situation :thumbdown: if you want to leave the team you have to do that way before the main tournament.

 

so there is a chance for Bosetti to recover for the QF, that's good news, even though just recovering is not enough, you have to be in good shape. but at least that gives options to the coach,

Bosetti was a reserve libero (at least in the game against Poland). I wonder why the hell in the fourth set Danesi came in place of Chirichella... but whatever, the victory is ours and the atmosphere was just WOOOOOOOOOW!!!

Italy is good enough to win against Slovakia and Russia. Russia is not playing good so far except last game.

 

Italy tried to win against Poland, and a big respect to them because of that.

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
