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.

 

That's objectively false. If all you care is the number of medals at the WCh (why? they are not even that much more important than World Cups), and all the rest of the year is worth nothing, you should really pick another country to support -the Italian system is not, and hopefully will never be, based only on that. To say that there has not been any progress since 2018 in this thread (freestyle skiing being the biggest example of a huge progress) is quite something.

After today's 4th place for Tabanelli, we now have 16x 4/5th places in Olympic events this winter season 

... 

because it was the same in the summer. 

that means that, like the whole season suggested, we will have a lot of medal chances next year. In the summer it was the opposite - many World Champions and medalist who later came short at the Olympics. Being third or fourth today will hardly change anything about what can happen in 2026. I much prefer having a lot of consistent podium finishers in the World Cups week after week.

I mean the total number of medals: we are currently at the level of 12 medals + maybe we will get to another 1-2 (Tabanelli in Big Air and Figure Skating), but it is still the maximum level of Salt Lake City 2002: 14 medals, where there was much less competition than now. Yes, it`s definietly better than in that dark period: 2010-2014, but it isn`t a any revelation. For me, 15 medals, it should be the minimum and even that will not be. I just think that we deserve more, that's all.

Ski Cross

 

Men

Gold-  Ryan Regez

Silver-  Tobias Mueller

Bronze-  Ryo Sugai

 

Surprise silver for Mueller. 

 

 

Some race for Sugai!  Fell at the second jump, lost his ski, must have put it back on and finished the course a couple of minutes behind everyone else.  Went to the judging, Duplesis-Kergomard is  and he finds out he's got the bronze medal!    So the moral of the story children, is never give up!

Small thing, but I hate it when users quote my replies because of the notifications, next time can you share your thoughts as a separate reply? Thanks!
