Cross-Country Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

We have competitions at home, before the season we got a good service from Sweden, and today Pellegrino on the last straight had skis like a junior compared to Norway, Sweden or Switzerland. I don't understand it. After all, having a competiton at home you should have a natural advantage over your rivals. This season is terrible for us in cross-country skiing and biathlon: so far in these two disciplines we have won 1 podium - 3rd place for Pellegrino in the sprint in Lillehammer. The closer we get to the games in Cortina, the worse it gets for us unfortunately :(

Seriously what a shit sprint course for the Olympics. Medals will be decided based on Skiis.

Torino course was excellent as well.  Lots of difficult climbs. Hopefully time to.add some elements.

no, it won't happen...

this same course has already hosted 3 world champs in the past 30 years or so

if they had to change something, they would have done it already years ago :dunno:

yeah, it's not only about the sprint races, all the mass start events will suffer from that uncommon, too long (and not adequate) final straight :facepalm::hairpull:

Especially as they have no room for manoeuvre to make any major changes to the course. With 59 metres of elevation gain over just 1.2 km, the sprint course is at the absolute limit in terms of difficulty. The same applies to the skiathlon tomorrow, with almost 900 metres of elevation gain over the 20 kilometres, which is extremely demanding.

    • Non-Olympic Athlete, Moment of the Year and Olympic Spirit Award are the ones lacking the most. Paralympic Athlete and Breakthrough also don't have a lot of votes.
    • Do you have or have you ever had an modern ice track?
    • Still no progress in the Italian team: 2x 4th place in men's singles and women's doubles+ a fall in the team relay. Men's doubles and women's singles without any progress for years. What's worse, our women's doubles also significantly lowered their level: without a single podium in the World Cup in this season. As of today, I'm betting on 0 medals in Cortina for us, excluding some miracles on the home track.
    • There is some progress at Barp and Carollo but almost everything is still based on Pellegrino. In the men's we lost a great talent - de Fabiani and Davide Graz - they are at an age where we have a generation gap in these age groups: 1994-2000. In the women's I`m happy with Monsorno's progress in sprints but the last podium WC in the women's category was in... 2011. We wasted 15 years in the women's category and now we are only waking up with 1 year to go until the games in Cortina, when we should have a ready team like Germany (I will skip Scandinavia because of its completely different potential).
    • Italy doesn't exist in women's technical competitions without from Brignone and Goggia - both over 30 age. Unfortunately Bassino has been out of good shipe since from last season in the giant slalom and she is unrecognizable in some competitions. In the case of Goggia I also don't really believe in regular podiums in the giant slalom - she can't have falls and win in the downhill and super-G. The giant slalom is just a bonus.   The Italian women's slalom has basically been non-existent for many years. One Peterlini qualifies for the 30 and doesn't finish half of the competitions. I can't understand how it was possible to lose Colturi in a situation where other Italians have fallen so badly. Unfortunately it's not the Italian federation that should be setting the conditions here but it's Colturi and her mother - a talent on par with Shiffrin at her age. 
    • In relay yes, but we have 8 more from our legend Natalya Yakushenko back in 2008 and earlier
