Will van Dijk win a gold... :cool:

That would be awesome. Barely a year ago I saw her sitting on the road next to my tiny town, where she was watching the Dutch time trial championships whilst being very pregnant, so to say :d Gave birth 9 months ago, broke her ankle 7 months ago, still walking with a brace around her ankle....it would really be quite something. Dygert should be too strong for everyone, and Vollering probably for Van Dijk, but it'd be so cool (also because I just like Van Dijk so much more than both Dygert and Vollering :p)

Wow, great story :d

Rain wont help her her (probably) sore ankle. :(

She has few supporters along the road :thumbup:

I'm positively surprised to have seen her made quite some serious progress since she first appeared.

ES commentator said that she is here against the Talibans decision.

Correct, the taliban don't actually have a say who represents afghanistan it is all done from abroad, to i believe it was the IOC who picked the team and the taliban are pretending they are only sending men....because you know, women aren't allowed to do anything in 2024

It has been quite a work behind the scenes to get them to start here, and even under their country's flag, but it did work. If I'm not mistaken they train somewhere in Europe nowadays, I feel like it's Germany but I'm not sure. It's working though!

    • 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.
