6 golds, 1 silver, and 1 bronze for  overall 

I simply believe that at the age of 36 she will no longer be in her peak form, and only such form would allow her to fight for medals. And Schulting will also come... On top of that, she plans to combine short track with speed skating? I don't see that at this age. As of today, I see the greatest chances for her in 2 relays and a mass start on a long track.

ISU World Tour 2024/25 -  Montréal (Stage 2/6)   Men's 5.000m Relay:   01.  Canada 02.  South Korea 03.  Italy

Give her some time. I think she will grow into the season and seeing how many different skaters already have won medals in the first two weekends of the season, I don't see why Fontana couldn't be one of them. She's been incredibly close this weekend with two A-finals in her first event back.

Finish of the men's 5.000m relay B-final:  

I hope Fontana will start competing in the mixed relay, because there Italy has a real chance of winning a medal with her great start.
