Well done, Vasko, this is really our Super Tuesday. I was watching first race on HRT, he was really focused and is once more well prepared. As Croatian commentator said (she and her co- worker were really good), Vasilij is born for Olympics. He always knows how to prepare very well every four years.

Van Rijsselberghe almost 100% sure of gold, unless the jury makes another decision later tonight as they have done earlier. His lead in the RS:X category is big enough that the medal race is irrelevant when it comes to the Olympic title. Dorian would be the first sailer in his category ever to successfully defend an Olympic title.

 

Dorian van Rijsselberghe was our flag bearer in London.

We have secured our first Olympic medal in sailing. WOW, I never thought this day will come!

 

Stipanović leads going into medal race in men's Laser. 10 pts ahead of AUS, 20 pts ahead of NZL and 29 pts ahead of FRA. So he has actually secured silver and has a good chance for gold! :clap::thumbup:

Denmark vs Netherlands for gold in the Laser Radial :bones:

 

You two can fight it out at the back of the field and then Annalise sweeps away in 1st position and the gold medal :p

 

The fight for gold was even hotter in 2012.... IRL, NED, BEL and CHN all had equal points (effectively) going into the medal race. Of course we know who finished 4th :thumbdown:

    • 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, - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. It could result in 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
    • 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 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
    • The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.
    • I'm not sure that Japan will able to compete in figure skating team event. I see or on the podium.
