That's why I don't get excited about the Italians' successes in the World Cup, because then the World Championships come and we're left with nothing - for years there's been one Deromedis and that's it.

Deromedis already competed, he has a huge bruise and some pain from the fall. If one race is more important to you than the whole season, I take note.

Three 4th places for  today 

Let's see if Perrine Laffont could save the day this afternoon.

I mean, if in such a lottery competition you count on only 1 person, your chances are very small. It's the same in snowboardcross, where for 10 years there's been one Moioli in women's and nothing. The opposite is snowboard alpine men, where we have 4-5 candidates for the podium in giant slalom and someone always surprises: if not Bormolini, then Fischnaller etc.

 Gremaud and Ragettli lead the women's and men's slopestyle finals, and Boesch is in 3rd. Swiss are on something right now

No medals today for Italy and I`m not surprised. I don`t believe that we will suddenly become a super power in freestyle. It is very naive. At the right moment Switzerland or Canada will always be better. The whole winter season for us is weak - most likely we will not even win those 15 medals, at all.

 

Speed skating and Brignone saved us this season, but it's not enough. There are too many failures, 4/5 places and missed opportunities. As a future organizer of the Olympic Games, it looks weak to me. I don't see any progress from 2018 or 2022, and that's probably how it should be?

 

After today's 4th place for Tabanelli, we now have 16x 4/5th places in Olympic events this winter season and it's not a coincidence, because it was the same in the summer. This requires analysis, but there is not much time left - I doubt that anything can be changed in less than 1 year.

This is definitely a country that knows what it wants and how to achieve it, and it doesn't need to organize the Winter Olympics to do it... When was the last time they organized one?
