You do realize that you saying that doesn't hold much weight, right? :p

 

sure, sir!

but this is a free forum...so i guess I can still write my 0 cent opinion without being sent to jail (or the EU opening an infraction procedure against Italy)...:p

As far as I know, the city of Stockholm is still refusing to sign the host city contract and there is still no written guarantee that the venues will be made available for example? That alone should be a deal breaker.

 

 

yeah, but I read that the Host City contract will be signed by Are and the Swedish Olympic Committee (for the economical guarantee)...

and Stockholm will loan their venues (there's already a contract for that)...

still, I do really think that the Swedish bid is really poor, technically, financially and in terms of the proposed venues...

once in our lifetime, so far we've done a way better job than them and our bid is a lot better and more fascinating than theirs (and trust me, I'm the least biased man in the world when it comes down to speak about Italy and what's wrong with our Country)...

I am sure the IOC prefers Sweden over Italy, but logically Italy does have the best bid. So how do you vote? The best bid does not win everytime...

Well for me it’s more about wanting to see Olympic sliding at Sigulda (plus Latvia would be the first new country to host the Olympics in a long time)

and when it happens, someone should spend the rest of his/her days in jail (if not in a "gulag")...:bones:

I'm all in for Mediolan over Stockholm. Forget the luge at Sigulda (which actually doesn't favor Germany for once) but alpine skiing at Are could be equally as disastrous as this year's World Champs. 50 second downhill for Olympic Gold? You gotta be kiddin' me.

Agree with you, I want Sweden to win so bad however their bid is worse than Italy. Whoever wins their job is just to make sure the Winter Olympic continues

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway

      very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
