Random aside, but why do the various Italian law enforcements / military units participating in the medal ceremonies have such… basic dress uniforms (with apologies to the Alpini and their cool feather)? Feels very un-Italian.

I don't give a flying fuck about the medal table. What difference does it make if, say, the men's relay was Netherlands-South Korea-Italy instead of South Korea-Netherlands-Italy?

 

I agree the short track team's performance was disappointing overall.

 

If we won 2 more silver medals for us and we are ahead of the Netherlands in medal table, even with their 1 gold tomorrow and in my opinion they only have a chance for 1 gold tomorrow- women`s mass start.

Without Velzebour and Saralult the Koreans must win easy, buy the tactics od Italian team is ridicolus. There was a chance for bronze here for Fontana

never asked myself such kind of question 

I'd rather ask myself why do we have so many law enforcement / military units depending on different authorities?

That’s one thing the US seems to do better than most of the world.

How appropriate, given that air conditioning is considered environmentally bad.

There is still Simone Deromedis.

So happy for Corrine!  First short-track medal for  since 2006 with Apolo Anton Ohno.

I mean sure but lack of AC is why so many people die from heat waves in Europe.

Deromedis, Vittozzi, Lollobroigida and Giovannini but I doubt it will be 3 medals. Maximum 2 for me.

In my opinion, Lollobrigida has the best chance to winning gold if she approaches the competition today only with training, but it is known that the mass start is a bit of a lottery.
