good debut for Kakhelashvili for the Italian team...

after basically more than 2 years of inactivity he won a good Bronze Medal at the Polish Open...

after losing his 1st bout against the US guy Tracy Gangelo Hancock* with the close score of 3-2, he took the scalp of the Russia Maksim Safarian in the repechage round, then finally he did benefit from Aleksanyan's withdrawal in the Bronze Medal bout...

 

*Hancock who then just destryed everybody else he faced in this tournament, included the great Artur Aleksanyan :yikes: who was beaten in their semifinal match by pin/fall and then didn't show up for the Bronze Medal match against "our" new Georgian-born wrestler...

According to the Korean Wrestling Federation, "Since the UWW President vowed support, we expect to have a positive result." Well that doesn't say much really. The President of UWW can say what ever he wants, he hasn't formally promised anything, yet. But he is a business man, so if North Korea and South Korea are willing to give "an extra contribution" to Lalovic... I mean UWW, anything could be possible. :whistle:

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
