Yeah, you've decided to keep going on this ultrapessimist streak? Alrighty. I honestly don't think any Italian skater can even get into the top-6 in any event at all, it's a miracle they qualified

6.59,66 for Eder Moraes, the first ever Brazilian to break the 7-minute barrier on the 5k :bowdown: 

 

47 years after Kay Arje Stenshjemmet - one of the legendary Norwegian Four S'es - was the first person overall to do so :d

I wonder what she's planning? Mass starts? I'm afraid that if she wants to combine short track with long track in 2026, she'll be left with nothing. The worst thing is that she would have the best chance in the mixed relay in short track, and by not training with the rest of the team, she significantly reduces her chances of participating in this relay.

1.57,85 for Fontana in the 1500, which as far as we could find is by far the fastest ever debut (of course it's not like she is new to skating, but still). Dan Li once debuted with 2.00,11 and Valerie Maltais once did that in the 3k with 4.15,91 so Fontana broke that 'record' as well yesterday :p

she always said that she'd like to do both (like Ter Mors in Pyeongchang), but I fear that if things go beyond her early expectation, she might well say a big "fuck you!" to the whole short track team

 

given what she already did in this past weekend, I think that she really has a chance to become a true medal contender in the 1000m and 1500m, meanwhile I don't think she would be that good in the 500m

 

and she might be the woman who make our team pursuit squad competitive at the highest level together with Lollobrigida and a third girl who's still to be found (if we can find one :rolleyes:)

Mixed team relay has been added to the World Cup Series

 

:facepalm:

IMO it's the worst mixed relay (and worst relay in general, heck, maybe worst team event) across all Olympic sports, which is quite an acomplishment. Just borderline unwatcheable.

Even here in :NED we are, to say it with a sense of understatement, not thrilled. That should tell enough :d

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Medal Count

      By copravolley · Posted

      In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.    In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.

      Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned. Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.  My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)

      According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?

      Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year. Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even) According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April) Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved....

      Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.   Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport

      In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022
