Francesca Lollobrigida revealed in an interview why she's struggling so bad this season    she's got a virus (she didn't specify which one, mononucleosis might be an educated guess), debilitating her since the beginning of the season and making her think even about possible retirement before the Home Olympics   luckily, she didn't, but of course she's not competitive for the medals (and this hurts a lot our speedskating and our Olympics in general)   an extract of the interview (in Italian):   https://www.oasport.it/2026/01/francesca-lollobrigida-uninfezione-virale-mi-ha-messo-ko-nei-mesi-piu-importanti-ho-pensato-anche-di-smettere/

Just noticed that  Sweden rejected a late quota in men's ski cross. There is no one left to reallocate the quota to so men's ski cross will only have 31 athletes entered.   Who would've thought before the games began that women's ski cross would use all 32 quotas and men's ski cross wouldn't.

This was pure bullshit, our federation already appealed protest. It would be better our guys would not jump in second round.    The only good thing is Japan won.
