There are two big holes in the global sporting calendar every year. Late March, when the Winter season ends, to mid-May, when the mainstream summer sports again.  Then late September to mid-November, when the opposite happens.

 

So what I’ve got now is:

 

Cycling season at full steam

North & South hemisphere Rugby League season ditto.

NCAA softball & volleyball

Curling World Champs

 

Don’t watch soccer anymore - used to like it up till the early 90s, but now it’s just a global money laundering front. :sick:
 

Currently watching UK Open indoor lawn bowls - it’s like Curling for overweight middle-aged people!

c'mon, man! the NHL is getting hot and it's playoff hockey time all around Europe!

 

and next week there are the NCAA men's Frozen Four, too...

 

to be added this week to the Wrestling Europeans and, today through Sunday, to the Judo Grand Slam tournament in Antalya...

 

some Euroleague basketball is also in the mix...

 

and from Thursday, the MLB is also going to start...

 

and you say that this period is a hole in the sports calendar? :yikes: :finger: 

 

this is close to the best time of the year, I'd say! :cheer:

Yeah... Bummer...

 

However at the same time Slovan scored the winner in my TV, our U18 scored the promotion goal in my notebook so was like a mixed one hand joy jump with palmface with the other hand :p

 

Damn that :DEN goalie, that was something...A true brick wall

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
