what a shame!

if I'm not wrong, Surf is the only individual sport (considering Trampoline as just 1 discipline of Gymnastics) where no Italians have been able to qualify a single representative...:facepalm:

Badminton?

Really -is there any surfing in Italy  ?

you need access to the open ocean for real surfing. And a suitable climate  . Only a few European countries genuinely have this -Portugal , Spain , France ,  GB have a local surfing scene and I think that's about it for Europe .( Although maybe there are now artificial surfing venues being established )

Maybe there are big waves off Norway but I suspect the climate doesn't invite surfing 

It's a sport that is dependant  on having the right geography and climate  -just like skiing 

 

As for badminton -rather like table tennis - Just naturalize  a few ( more ) Asians . Works for many countries

I spoke about badminton :evil: Btw, I know that some surfing races, like the Italian championship, usually are made in Sardinia.

actually, we have some of the best surfing and windsurfing spots in Europe...with wonderful beaches and landscapes, hot sun, strong wind and also good waves...

 

in Italy you can find almost everything in terms of natural environment and climate...from mountains to sea, from lakes to rivers, from hot sunny beaches to cold freezy ski mountaineering routes...

 

we only lack in young people practicing some sports at high level because they're too uncomfortbale or because they're too expensive...

 

and in this case, we just had our guys underperforming, because Fioravanti in the men's division and Bevilacqua in the women's division definitely have the skills to qualify for the Games, but this time they just failed to perform at their best...point.

      Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?

      I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

      If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great

      Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
