At the risk of cursing us, today is the first day I'm expecting us to win a bunch of medals. I reckon we have six very good chances today:

 

Men's 200m free

Mountain Bike

Team Eventing

Individual Eventing

10m Synchro

Team Final - Gymnastics

 

And we have a bunch of maybes.

 

By contrast, day 1 and 2 only had six chances each day, and some of them were maybes.

 

Obviously, if today doesn't go well, it's not a good sign.

It's also worth noting that our 4 medals thus far have come in 4 different sports. Which keeps up our recent record of being one of the more diverse medal winning nations out there. Obviously I want us to win a ton of medals but knowing that we are competitive in a lot of sports is a very pleasing thing. I prefer that to being very good at 1 or 2 and that's it.

Will say that two medals are not implausible from the eventing. Tom is under a fence behind bronze currently. Burgess is another maybe, 2 outside hopes for medals in the pool with OM and AE.

 

But today feels like a big day, we really need the eventing team and Pidcock to bring home gold for some momentum

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • 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 (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our 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. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • 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
