Sometimes I look at Switzerland and I simply envy them. They are making progress in almost every winter sport, not just alpine skiing. It`s a rich country, but Italy is bigger + we should spend much more money becouse we organizing the games. We rarely manage to do that. I would like us to do what France did in Paris: significantly improve our result from 2022. However, I doubt we are able to do it. I have been disappointed and let down too many times in winter to be a big optimist now
Late post, but here is the team of 19 athletes:

Surprising result that i didn't see till now at the winter championships. Omer Sahin won with 62.44[over two metres better than his personal best from 2022,however almost all his best throws do happen at Turkey ,he just never threw that far before.

how can you say that?
we've never had so many medal chances like nowadays, we can bring something home in almost every sport
who cares if CC skiing is no longer a medal factory? we have others now
OK, most of our champions are not youngsters anymore, but again, who cares? the Home Olympics are next year, not in a decade
don't look at the single world championship's race, just look at how good we are in many Olympic events and please, for you health's sake, relax and try and enjoy the competition as it is (independently from the Italians' results)
Harrop surprisingly lost to Fatton after being unbeaten so far this season in the sprint races, all according to plan in the men's division, where Cardona Col proved once more unbeatable
finally, and get the Olympic Quota Places among the women, and get the OQPs among the men
Men's Sprint Race
Gold: Oriol Cardona Coll
Silver: Thibault Anselmet
Bronze: Jon Kistler
