I'm getting mad!
I thought than here in Italy we had a chance to follow all the events properly, but that's not the case
Italian specialized websites only publish the results of the events where we get at least a medal, WS is late by days in their result section, all the disciplines have some kind of coverage, but some of them are basically amateur pictures, taking with a cell phone (inline slalom, for instance)
I'm very disappointed by the organization and also by the lack of interest in the Italian media...I mean, this is a global event, 15-day long and with many different disciplines....not only, it's one of our best chances to shine in the world of sport (we're basically guaranteed to dominate the medal table, grabbing medals left and right)
but world skate looks to be only interested in the Olympic skateboarding events, which also have a lot of coverage on the Olympic Channel website
personally, instead, i'm only interested in Inline Speedskating and men's Rink Hockey
naaa...that's not sailing, you just can't do it when the waves are high...
however, the weather prediction isn't that good for the next weekend, so you might get even more than what you're asking for
Not team ski cross
And that's coming from someone who absolutely loves watching the ski cross. Team ski cross just adds nothing at all. Whereas athletics relays make for an entirely different dynamic (a 4x100 is a very much different event than the 100m and results are entirely different than if you'd just add up everyone's 100m times), the team ski/snowboard cross is literally just two team members doing their runs back-to-back with no direct exchange or anything.
Just like the luge team event adds nothing at all
Never saw this until now, but yeah… no thanks (and this is coming from a massive volleyball fan, even para so)
I wouldn’t mind ice climbing, but there’s a couple sports and events (like FreeRide, telemark skiing, and team ski cross) that I’d probably add before.
