Rebecca Passler 10/10 so there is life for Italy behind the usual two...

Niece of an Italian great from the late 80s/early 90s according to the Brit comms who raced with him.

I was laughed at when I said this a year or two ago, but give it three years and Italian women's team is going to be as big as Sweden.

Yeah, Johann Passler won 3 World Cup races in his career and took bronze medal in 1988 OG individual.

Didn't you make pretty much the same prediction for their men's team some years ago? Personally i don't see it happening. They have promising juniors (but the same is true for Norway, France, Germany), but i don't think that they will ever have the skiing speed to match the Öberg sisters. I think the most promising juniors on the women's side are Kirkeeide and Grotian.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Sadly no podium for Germany, but great team performance even without Preuß. With Hettich winning the IBU Cup race today + Hinz hopefully coming back to her best and Braun/Grotian showing promise at IBU Cup level, Germany seems to have better depth than they had at any point during the past decade.

Italian men will be doing great too, Italy really had very many successful junior years, now they need a couple more years to develop the youngsters in the World Cup. 

 

I stand by my statement still.

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
    • The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
