Besides, the real drama will be when Brignone and Goggia leave and that can happen at any moment. We will be left with only Bassino in the giant slalom/supergigant (she also has 30 age) and 2-3 good skiers in the fast disciplines, like Pirovano, Delago sisters etc., but on a completely different level than Goggia and Brignone. Then there will be cry... Especially since our brilliant federation cut Colturi to Albania...

All winter Sunday Skeleton, curling, alpine skiing and figure skating.   I'll see a bit of cricket this evening, T20 between West India and England.

If my research is correct, this is the first time since Adelboden 2002 without Italians in the second run. What a shame. 

The training methods in our slalom team don't work. It's not a coincidence. It's not even that we don't have 1-2 stars, like Tomba in the past, or later Moelgg but there's a general lack of a few solid skiers under 30 who would regularly score points and improve their starting positions. The same goes for our girls - for 2 years, only Peterlini has been making regularly points but there's no talk of fighting for the podiums either. A sad picture.

WTT Finals Fukuoka, club volleyball, Speed Skating WC Hachinote, NHL, NFL, NBA, BJK/Davis Cup Finals, European Curling Championships, FIS Stubai Slopestyle WCs, BWF Super 750 China Masters   Will follow along with the BPT events in Chennai/, the UCI Track Cycling Nations League in France, the Skeleton WC in Yanqing, the FIE WCs in Tunis/Vancouver, and the Open Water WC in Neom. 

Saccardi skiing well but he crash. Sala and Gross aren`t fit for the World Cup with this form. Gross used to be good but his time has passed. Same with Razzoli. The problem is there is no one young to replace them.

We wasted many years counting on only one Vinatzer, who is not suited for slaloms with his style of riding. He should focus on giants and maybe super-Gs? The rest of our team is non-existent. We need to get rid of this whole gang, with coaches at the front and start all over again. It should have been done in 2019 when we got the games in Cortina.

Not official yet  Hirschbueld should be DSQ.   Ok, now it's official with Meisen.

And 0 Italians in 2 runs...

Happy birthday mate!
