:MON Monaco has a player in men's tennis semifinals, so here's a good chance to double their all-time medal tally at Tarragona 2018.

 

Both of their previous two medals were won in Italy:

Naples 1963 - sailing bronze

Pescara 2009 - judo silver

Is it any wonder that these events still get some cities bidding for them. The financial loss might be substantial.

 

well, next time they should be held in Naples...

 

but I want to underline the conditional auxiliary "should"...because basically there's nothing ready with only 3 years to go and the organizing committee is doing absolutely nothing (not even the refurbishing of the San Paolo Stadium, which is mandatory for SSC Napoli to play at home the next Champions League -since in the past years they received a special permission by UEFA, which is now over and it won't be renovated...now they must do some consistent works to the stadium, but all is stopped at the moment)...

in fact, the local organizers have been replaced by a special commission named by CONI and the local prefectural authorities...

 

in any case, it's a real mess now and it's gonna be the same also in the next future...:facepalm:

 

EDIT: there's a big mistake...the Universiade will be in Naples, not the MGs (which will be in Algeria), as explained in the following posts...:facepalm:

 

p.s. the rest of this post in any case is the sad truth, even if it's referred to the Universiade and not to the MGs...:pope:

What's the best place to quickly follow the athletics results? 

 

watching the live streaming on the Olympic Channel, I guess...

 

otherwise, here's a written (almost) live update of all the activities going on in Tarragona, Athletics included (but it's only in Italian and focused mainly on the Italian athletes, of course):

https://www.oasport.it/2018/06/live-giochi-del-mediterraneo-2018-in-diretta-29-giugno-italia-serve-lo-scatto-per-vincere-il-medagliere/

 

p.s. I don't know how quickly they update it, but the official website is also a good source (once it's updated, obviously...and now it's working definitely better than in the early days)...

You're mixing things up...Naples will/should host the next Universiade (because the original host Brasilia withdrew), the next Mediterranean Games will be in Algeria.

Which, as we all know, already has the giant screen set up. So that can't go wrong.

    • We never beat Canada in the WJC so yeah that would be a major upset... we were mega close in that goddamned quarterfinal when Bedard "Bellinghamed" us in the last overtime minute. I doubt we will be any closer of that in the next decade.   won in all its history only 3 matches in world juniors preliminary Round and never over a top tier nation so this win over Canada in CAN is certainly one of the biggest upsets of this sport comparable to - QF in Salt Lake or - Katowice madness or Squaw Valley MOI
    • But if we would have done it, no one would call it a surprise :(

    • The Italian team bought a wax- bus from Sweden before the season and acquired head of their serviceman, so maybe that's the reason? The investment hasn`t been successful so far, because there is still a void beyond Pellegrino and these young skiers aren`t mentally ready for a tough fight.   Once there was a skier from Poland - Justyna Kowalczyk, who fought with the whole coalition of Norwegians at that time: Bjoergen, Johaug etc. Thanks to her strong psyche she was able to win difficult finishes with Bjoergen. Diggins is doing the same now - she gives 120%. This is the only way you can win with Norwegians. Apart from Pellegrino I don't see anyone in our team who has the ambition and the will to fight.
    • Diggins and Pellegrino have never had great physical conditions but their mental have always been on point. The entire American team is brave and ambitious. On the other hand the Italian team is physically weak and has no ambition. There is no visible will to fight and progress is born in the head- that`s says once Filippo Ganna.
