January 2021, but in just a few months you cannot change the preparation and federal structure in any way. 

Of course, Tokyo 2021 was absolute over the our actually potential, but things were better just in 2019. Our lowest point was Beijing 2015. In your opinion, what has changed since then, and who is responsible for that? If that someone made some decisions in 2015, the first effects could already be seen in 2020/2021.

Nothing has changed, it's just cycles. Then, of course, after Tokyo, funding increased significantly.

Cycles, cycles, but here you can see the results of work in everything: medals, gold medals, points places, successes in relays, European Championship victories, etc. This looks like some well-organized program from many years ago, which rarely succeeds in Italy - I would have thought that the Netherlands or the UK would be able to do something like that, not us.

Half expected a marriage proposal to the girl there  

 

Although it's generally nicer not to do that in a moment like this  

They are already engaged and she had her bachellorette party already😁

No, apparently it does - 05:00-01:00 

They are very few 24 hour every day metro lines. Maintenance needs to be done everywhere. NYC gets away with it becuase they are so many four or more tracked sections.

Agree.  That was not great for a man who is always fussy about lane draw.  

The BBC took the complete opposite view on their commentary for some reason.

Nice couple, but a little too perfect for me.

In last 2 summer OG you have winning more medals than Germany- your bigger neighbor- you must have a good system, because on paper you shouldn't stand a chance against them: smaller population, lower GDP, less tradition, etc. So either you're that strong, or they're that weak, or maybe both? On paper, Italy also had no right to finish ahead of Germany in the medal table in 2024, but that's what happened.
