watched two player interwiews,both seem to be washing their hands and saying that ''the new generation is coming'' so yeah ,what i said is confirmed,it's gonna take time,odds of the normal basketball team to be at la is very low. 

In Italy many veterans will also leave apart from Fontecchio. In retrospect: from the beginning of the 21st century we had the greatest successes with players from clubs only for Europe: 2003/2004 (then we had no one from the NBA) and our golden generation on paper: Bargnani-Belinelli- Gallinari- Datome- Hackett etc ( 4 of them played in the NBA) were not able to even win bronze at the European Championships 2013/2015/2017 and didn`t advance to the Olympic Games in 2016, even though we had a qualifying tournament at home. We played at the Olympic Games only in 2021 but Gallinari didn`t take part in the qualifications and only played at the Olympic Games. I also understand you a little. Good atatistics in the NBA don`t always translate into good play in the national team.

2004, so 20 years ago, although objectively we shouldn`t have won this medal under any circumstances on paper but when we had the best players in history and 4 from the NBA, we didn`t even advance to the 2016 Olympics. Life is very twisted sometimes...

I followed the results of the European Junior Championships in swimming in Vilnius and Lithuania started very well but these are young people for the future. For now, you still have the great Meilutytye in the breastroke style: our Pilato has no chance against her in the 100 meters.

Rūta seemed to be sick at that Italian comp,hopefully she's gonna be alright and fully ready for Paris.We have Danas rapšys too from the current ones,yeah maybe he's an outside chance for a medal at the 200 freestyle but i honestly think it's possible.

The level of swimming has improved significantly since Tokyo: mainly due to the increase in the level of China, as well as Australia + traditionally the USA. If it weren't for Russia, the level would be astronomical.

I meant that if there was Russia, the level would be extremely high. Its absence is somewhat offset by China's rapid growth in last years. The Chinese woman has the best time in the 100 breaststroke this year: she will a danger oponent for Ruta and Beny Pilato.

Yeah,i was confused by what you wanted to say.Yeah China is coming,despite the controversy,i'm just happy that as i understand sun yang or whoever was that Chinese swimmer who smashed  his doping test won't be at paris.

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
