Vittozzi winning an Individual with a clear shooting :yikes: Wierer skiing faster than the Oeberg sisters and Olsbu? It's a new day :d

well, Hannah Oeberg missed last week's stage because of a flu, obviously she can't be at 100% this week (and maybe she passed something also to her sister, who's struggling a bit on the skis in this early 2023).

 

Olsbu even more, she missed half a season...she does need a lot more training on her skis to be as fast as she was in the past (but I'm sure she will be definitely better than now when it really matters, in Oberhof).

 

Vittozzi has been clear on 20-hit races before...don't get fooled by her troubles in the last few seasons.

 

she definitely benefited from the arrival of the new Finnish (shooting) coach in our team.

 

hopefully she's getting back where she was before the pandemic mess and all that followed those difficult days.

 

p.s. she's also taking advantage (like Wierer and the other Italian girls) by the good ski setup that Italy seem to have found this season, especially on the wet snow we have in this early 2023 (meanwhile Sweden look to have very bad skis on this kind of snow).

What a great race this was, I love this podium :d

Big congratulations to Vittozzi, finally back on top, and with a clear shooting, after the troubles from last week where it looked like her old demons from last season were back. What a great way to bounce back just a few days later!

 

I'm thrilled for Lou Jeanmonnot's first podium :clap: I gotta be honest, between the 2 French ""youngsters"", I was expecting Sophie Chauveau to be the first one on a podium, although Lou's season has been really good so far as well, she has more experience in the world cup and she's definitely more consistent in her shooting than Sophie is (who had a bad day on the shooting range today :().

 

And of course I'm happy about Julia Simon's 3rd place which means she wins a few points against Elvira Oeberg and keeps the yellow bib :d

Probably NR also. Both :GRL & :DEN

And definitely the best World Cup result ever for :BRA blood!

 

In biathlon, that is, obviously there have been a whole bunch of podiums and wins in alpine skiing by now.

    • It's just that Austria had a lot of skiers in that time and we don't have any others among the young ones now.
    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
    • Berrettini defeated Kokkinakis in 3 set   And now, it's Sinner time.
    • Well, it was to be expected that Colturi was going to have a breakout result like that sooner or later and the state of Italian alpine skiing will create some very long faces. But hey, if Italy  let their "best" prospect walk because of money then it's their fault. If there was some personal feud between Ceccarelli & federation it's even worse.
