Dude :d 

 

The only way this relay should be allowed to stay is if the 20k is discontinued and replaced with the 50k. Now that would be awesome, since race walking is a sport for long distances and 20k is too short...

50km didn't have half the entertainment this relay offers AND I WILL DIE ON THAT HILL.

 

 

Also, the level in 50km was mediocre at best... :ESP Marc Tur almost being an olympic medallist in Tokio20 was a joke lmao

No I agree, the entertainment in the first 5km of the 50km was mediocre, it was only entertaining in the last 45km with tons of position changes and comebacks and attacks and everything :p 

 

Also: nothing personal of course, so I genuinely hope you won't actually die on any hill :d

I was afraid :ITA athletes peaked one month too early this year. Definitely not the same shape as it was in Roma

Stano suffered a bad injury by slipping on a bottle during the race, Palmisano clearly had serious health problems. Unfortunately we were unlucky, the luck of 2021 was given to us with interest :(

Stano was injured in the race walk world team championships and because of that Italy only had one spot (thanks to Fortunato and the other lady, but sadly they were not allowed to use their spot and the clearly not entirely fit Stano was chosen :().

      Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).

      WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...

      Men's Football UEFA European Champions League 2024 - 2025

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
