Not everyone knows much about all the sports & events, certainly I don't, so I am very interested in what people - who surely follow some sports more than me - think: who should win in this poll.

 

@thiago_simoes what you think about gymnastics here?

 

@MHSN any thoughts on wrestling, if you don't mind?

 

@phelps as a fencing fan - among 100+ other sports :-))) - is always here, thank you very much for that, always nice to read! what are your thoughts again? and maybe @Vektor would like to add his choice as well...  or all the others. I'm sorry if I forgot someone.

 

maybe we have someone who knows more about modern pentathlon here as well... :-)

 

waiting for your words of wisdom, all your votes and comments.

 

Bye!

Artistic Gymnastics, men's Parallel Bars...not an easy choice, because I don't follow the sport closely and because this is one of the events that I don't like more than others (only the Floor exercise is more boring to me)...

I go with :CHN Li Xiaopeng, mainly because he's the only gymnast to win the event twice in this Century...

 

Wrestling, Freestyle, men's Superheavyweights...here I go with :USA Bruce Baumgartner because Taymazov is just a cheater, even if on the mat he looked really great and I used to be his fan...

 

Modern Pentathlon, women's Individual...no brainer, :LTU Laura Asadauskaite is surely the strongest and most complete pentathlete among all those who had the privilege of winning an Olympig gold medal...

 

Fencing, men's Individual Foil...always considering that's almost impossible (and unfair) to compare such different ages, I have no doubt that :ITA Nedo Nadi is on top of the list...

 

Cycling Track, men's Individual Sprint...trying not to be biased, I have to pick :FRA Daniel Morelon, most likely the GOAT of this discipline...

mention of honor for the great Lutz Hesslich, but he has somehow to pay the prize for the system he grew up in...

for what concerns the modern specialists, I just can't pick them because they're only power, they can only put themselves in front of the race and push hard, they just can't show any trick, any "magic" on the track (I know it's mainly the modern rules' fault, but still)...

the last guy on that list that could show something unusual was Ryan Bailey, but frankly I've never liked the Australian (very dirty) style of racing and I have more than one concern on them being clean in the other sense (remember the Michelin man Steven Pate?)

    • Who do you think was worse: Netanyahu or Ariel Sharon?
    • Finally done    ICC issues arrest warrant for Benjamin Satanyahu/  Gallant for  Gaza war crimes   Satanyahu and Gallant are at risk of arrest if they travel to any of the 124 countries that signed the Rome statute establishing the court     this is the list of 124 countries : https://asp.icc-cpi.int/states-parties    
    • https://www.fantaski.it/news/2024/11/22/tommaso-sala-si-rompe-il-crociato-in-allenamento.asp   Now the entire Italian team will be hanging on Vinatzer, who will finish maybe 30% of the races in the season. Tragedy. Sala was not an outstanding skier, but he could have made it to the top 10 several times. The biggest debacle in slalom in decades is coming  This winter seasons haven't even started yet but I'm fed up with him. We have regression in every discipline, Vittozzi disease, disaster in men`s alpine skiing, what else? Unfortunately, we have been much better in summer sports than in winter sports recently.
    • Tense men's semi but  10  8 after 11.      made a 3 in the 10th!
    • Violette Braun is the first  woman in a World Cup since 2009. Today she obliterated the NR in the 1500 by 3 seconds (2'04) on a rather slow track. Second 1500 ever for her, first was in Inzell a few weeks back (2'07) with what seemed like very good conditions.   It means a lot of room for improvement and a good sign for the 3000 which is her real strong event at the moment - she lacks basic speed but had one of the fastest final laps today, 10th over Div A and B. Faster last than penultimate lap must be quite unusual too.
    • When? I understand this is a joke about this great job 
    • The same thing happened after Turin 2006. That hall later was never used for skating competitions again, only the Indoor ECH in athletics was organized there once in 2009 and that was it. After that it was only used for commercial fairs etc. It will be the same with Milan. Regarding the indoor arena in Collalbo, it was a great idea to make it an Italian center of skating sports for many years: good location, high altitude, tourist town. Well, but according to the organizers, it`s not worth doing it, but why? Why is`t not worth doing anything here but Germany has a similar track in Inzell and it is possible there? They should hire a good manager who will develop a plan for them to make it worth doing. The same is with the bobsleigh track in Cortina. It was also not worth renovating it and if Salvini's and other big politics and determination hadn`t come into it, the competition would probably have been in Austria or St. Moritz.   The cooperation with the Netherlands is probably only supposed to concern short track. Besides, this cooperation will not do anything if we don`t have at least one indoor track for training in the summer and early autumn. The Dutch Federation isn`t a charity and will not build us infrastructure for free so that we can train on it. There are no miracles. It`s probably more about taking advantage of the opportunity to train with someone like Fontana, who is a legend in short track. After 2026 this cooperation will end, when she leaves.
    • For Ghiotto to win 2 golds at the Olympics, he would have to be the second van der Poel or Sablikova in they pick of form. You have to be a genius to beat this whole coalition of Norwegians, Dutchmen etc. However, I don't see that much talent in him. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm afraid that he'll end up with some silver-bronze in the 10 km and that's it. If he starts losing to Eitrem now, who is 22 years old, it won't bode well for the future, and there's also Roest + maybe another Dutchman will jump out. Generally, our team is poorly prepared for this season and it's not like Ghiotto is on individual training on the moon and has just come down to earth and will now win everything while the rest of the team are in terrible form. Of course, the lack of form of Bosa or Trentini means e.g. 20th place, not 10th, but for Ghiotto it could mean 4/5 place, instead of 1st. It's the same with the team. For today, the only positive performance for us is Lollobrigida's 2nd place in the b category of the women's 1500 meters and Fontana's solid performance in the same event. The rest is terrible.
    • Costantini & Mosaner will back to play together for the frist time since Beijing 2022 Our NOC and Federation do an amazing work.
