for the joy of the home audience, the men's fight for the overall title seems to be an all-Hungarian (actually, an all-Liu family) affair...

 

De Laat doesn't seem to have the right weapons against the Hungarian brothers, especially on the mid/longer distances and Elistratov doesn't look in his best shape...I don't think he can turn things around in tomorrow's races...

 

meanwhile the women's Overall is only Schulting to lose...both the Italian main contenders, in fact, did some capital mistakes in 1 of today's 2 races and were beaten by the Dutch also in the other one...moreover, Valcepina won't be in the 1000m quarterfinals, which means that she mathematically doesn't have any chance to improve her score in that distance...

only Fontana could try what would be an amazing comeback, but the chances are really slim, as Schulting now only need to control the Italian star in tomorrow's races to take the title home...

 

good for Italy that we also did qualify both Relays to the "A" Final, even if I don't see the men going on the podium...

the expectations are instead a lot higher among the girls, as ITA and NED should be well ahead of their continental rivals, if they don't make big mistakes...

Is there really no better way in shorttrack to show the classification leader than those red caps? I mean, you're there with some awesome custom helmet design...but if you're doing great, you have to ride around with a lame piece of red cloth covering it :facepalm:

Thank God Shaoang Liu isn't Dutch. Those 'Hungarian' Liu-brothers are way too arrogant. By the way: why does Hungary buy half of their relayteams? Both Krueger-brothers are American and Lockett is Australian. Seems like shorttrack is the new Athletics and Table Tennis.

Krueger’s moves after a spat with the US team, and by sheer luck, they have Hungarian roots.

    • We must ask our Austrian users if they cheered for him. But do we have any Austrian users LOL?
    • 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.
