Yes we certainly can. Spain is one of the top teams . Same with Australia. We are right in it with both teams. And energy is a real thing . So send every good vibe you guys have . And release as much anxiety and fear as you can haha

CANADA IS GOING TO THE OLYMPICS!!!

I’ve been following this squad since mid 2021, and have been cheering for them at the majority of the events that they’ve competed at since then, SO SO happy for them.

19-12 win over Kenya to start off the tournament. Not exactly the best of wins, the Canadians were quite sloppy and well off their best, but props to Kenya for making it a game.    Hopefully

Eh. I don’t agree with you on that one. If they qualify (big IF), they’ll certainly be contending for medals, along with Germany, Spain, Australia, France, United States, and China. Pretty much everyone except Azerbaijan. 
 

But yeah, the women’s team has no chance anymore. 

I mean, sure. Every team has a chance. If everyone else gets food poisoning or if their buses get lost on the way to the arena, Canada has a chance. 

 

But even then they'd manage to trip on their shoelaces and knock themselves out instead of stepping on the podium.

That doesn’t need to happen for Canada to have a chance…

 

And no, Azerbaijan isn’t podiuming.

I want them to win and qualify, because the more Canadian teams the better. But no way this team is challenging for medals in Paris. Sad, but true. Just like the 5x5 women's team. 

I may have thought this when the score was 6-1 Spain. But as the game went on I realized they were playing like the stronger team, they never gave up when they were down. It’s unfortunate they didn’t win against Spain but should they beat Hungary I do think they should be a medal contender, just like they have been at most of the competitions they’ve been at.

      Curling WCF European Championship 2024

      Fewer people do do this sport compared to the 90s, less money is spent on it, etc. In the case of women, at some point this sport was almost abandoned because of the belief that it was impossible to beat Scandinavia ( the times of Norwegian domination with Bjoergen and Johaug at the forefront). Only in the last 2 years has Markus Cramer been hired, who is gradually rebuilding the men's and women's teams. Suffice it to say that the last medalist of the World Championships for Italy in the women's was Arianna Follis in 2011... I will also remind you that in 2022 Pellegrino and de Fabiani trained with the Russian team, because the rest of the Italian team was in such poor shape that they couldn`t train together

      Well that is a totally different question  I too have wondered what happened to Italian cross-country and how there is no one coming for so many years. But it shouldn't take away from the sports where progress has been made.

      Appetite grows with eating. Especially since it's not like we develop in every winter sport... For example, 20 years ago we were a powerhouse in cross-country skiing and now we have only 1 Pellegrino (34 age) and a few talented youngsters. And let's remember that our performance in Turin was objectively weak for us: only 11 medals in total. Now, when I hear that we will to win 2O+, some discipline must definitely add medals and also compensate for the losses in cross-country skiing, for example.

      The problem is that this mixed team has never played together since then. There was talk of personal obstacles. I don't know how it`s now.

      Well that explains why she is wearing more clothes with every passing day.   Nevertheless that team is still one of the best in the world and is a vast improvement on what Italy was doing 10-20 years ago.

      Constantinis team have made huge improvements since 2022 even if they are not best yet. And Constantini never was world leading in mixed doubles before Beijing olympic either so it is not like she really have lost anything since 2022 either, except not being able to repeat that success.

      She had health problems yesterday. Nevertheless, after the gold in mixed doubles with Mosaner in 2022, I counted a bit more on her development. I still think that the biggest chance for us in 2026 will be the mixed team, rather than our teams.

      I don't know who Italy should field for the doubles? Sinner has the greatest individual strength but he probably doesn't train with anyone on the team. Last year Sinner played 2 doubles with Sonego in the Davis Cup (two wins) but this year Sonego isn`t in the squad. On the other hand the Bolelli-Vavassori doubles are well-coordinated, as is the Argentine one, but individually these players don't even mean as much as Sinner's 1 hand. For me the Sinner/Berettini option is possible but the question is: did they train together on last day?
