The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold). -

Totallympics had users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while. -
In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8. @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising. -

Tadeucci was very good and took bronze -
On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events) -
December is probably going to be focused on either Italy/Austria or Norway, but the plans are still being made as we speak. Renting a car, driving from the Netherlands down to Italy, finding accomodations and help with preparing the skis and all that...trying to make it as an independent 'solo' athlete is...hard I can't go and help out, because we got the keys to our house (finally) and there's lots of work to be done there, so it's all happening at the same time and the mind is getting crazy (for both of us) -
I have a question for everyone: Will Russia participate in Milano-Cortina? What's your (very early) prediction about this? I guess it largely hinges on who the next IOC president will be, which we'll know next March I think. -
Haha. OK, I see. You are bound to do much better this time around although -as I recall- you won 5 golds back then, which is pretty good. In terms of total number of medals at least, you'll easily exceed the 11 you won in Torino 2006.

My English must have definitely improved . I meant that any result worse than Torino2006 would be a bad result

How could Torino become a disaster for Italian sport? It was 18 years ago.
