Arianna Fontana is preparing for the another season in a row alone with her husband in Canada and the USA, apart from the rest of the Italian team. I only hope she will still want to compete in the mixed relay in next season World Cup and at the Olympics (she competed in the women's relay last season, but not in the mixed relay) and I think that she can do a some training with the rest of the team during the season. With Fontana in the mixed relay our chances of even winning gold will increase significantly.

I did not realize Fontana competed (and medaled) in 2006 when she was only 15. Milano will be her 6th Olympics. Amazing.

Yes, but only in women`s relay in 2006. I have the impression that 20 years ago short track was more of a sport for youth people, than it is now, and you could say that Fontana is a connector between those times and now.

In the entry lists for the first World Tour event there are five russians; three female and two male. I don't know how the rules are, so is it only going to be one per race? 

And then for Olympic Qualifying, how will they accumulate ranking points? Athletes don't NOCs do normally, so I am puzzled how that is going to work.

They could enter only individual races, maybe.. And instead of quota given to NOCs, individual quotas are given to each AIN competitors. 

For me these are some anonymous names from Russia, does anyone know them?

Seregina came 6th in the 500m in 2022 I think, right behind Boutin in the semi. Otherwise no idea.

Russians are allowed to qualify only one person for distance, no relays are allowed.

 

They will not fiaght to get maximum number of quotas since they could not find enough skaters which did not violate neutrality rules.

According to this: https://isudam.blob.core.windows.net/isudamcontainer/AIN_Q&A_Final_20_12_2024_1734686416256.pdf they can only qualify one male and one female total. So they can only enter one in each race in the World Tour it would follow.

So for Olympic Qualification, how would they add the score do you think?

Qualification is based on the individual world tour ranking per distance, so they wouldn’t.

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
