Then alpine skiing failed - a year earlier at the World Championships in Bormio we had 4 medals and in Turin 0, but number of golds: 5 was ok for that time. Now we have 6.

 

Ah yes, Giorgio Rocca lasting like 15 secs is one thing I remember from 2006

almost everything...

we have also a couple of regrets

In any case, Wiklund can't beat herself in the finish laps, that was the case in 2025, and it's the case now. With Francesca's personality, Wiklund would probably have won gold today.

In fact, I already thought there would be 4th place just before the finish... When was the last time there were such small differences in the top in a 5 km race?

Rocca dominated the all begining of slalom season 2005/2006: 5 wins of 5. He was named to be the new Tomba, although his form dropped slightly before Turin and he was DNF in 2 slalom`s World Cup in January 2006.

I heard an Italian journalist say Semirunniy was going to skate earlier (first 2 pairs) and Ghiotto later (final 2), this changes things a bit.

He will have to go at 100% because his main rivals will be skating after him: Jilek and Eitrem. But it's good that Ghiotto will be in pair with a strong rival, because they will be able to push themselves together.
