Just because I wanted to look it up, our semi-finals since 2005:

 

:RUS 2006 ECh - lost

:USA 2007 WCh - lost

:ESP 2008 ECh - lost

:NED 2008 SOG - lost

:GRE 2012 ECh - lost

:ESP 2012 SOG - lost

:ESP 2013 WCh - lost

:ESP 2014 ECh - lost

:ITA 2016 ECh - won

:USA 2016 SOG - lost

:NED 2018 ECh - lost

:ESP 2019 WCh - lost

:ESP 2020 ECh - lost

:ESP 2020 SOG - lost

 

Yeah... for some reason we just can't go past Spain at the these big events. Thankfully they aren't in our way this time and the US is also in the other half of the bracket, which is why this is a big opportunity for us. The Dutch also beat us in SFs before but at least it's not Spain this time.

Very disappointing performance last night from our girls :nopompom:

 

There is still some Greek interest in the semifinals, as the Netherlands have a Greek coach and Haralabidis on the US (who scored 6 goals against Spain in QF) is Greek and used to play for our national team.

 

Also I thought it was just Parkes from New Zealand, but I see that Hungary also has a girl from Slovakia and a girl from France on their team.

Ah yes, I completely forgot about her :d But to be fair she never played for Slovakia at senior level I do believe, I remember reading before the European Games in Baku some article about here, mentioned as a future "super talent" in slovak scene obviously, but I guess she just made the logical and best possible move for her personally to cross the border and represent Hungary ;)

    • 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).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
