🤣🤣🤣 Apparently Ceccarelli only got a small fraction of the money she thought she was being paid. Otherwise I guess it will be Qatar next year. 🤣🤣🤣

not triplets but three brothers, born in 2006, 2007 and 2008. And they have a younger sister (2010) who is also a cadet sabre fencer (not here at the WCh.)

speed skating starting from 280€, short track and figure skating from 450€...I guess I'll just go to Milan for a random women's hockey match

Al contrario di 20 anni fa, la stragrande maggioranza di soprattutto sudamericani che ottengono la cittadinanza per diritto di sangue non vengono più in Italia ma vanno in altri paesi UE (non degnandosi neanche di imparare due parole di italiano), o al limite si tengono la cittadinanza per sfruttarla in caso di indigenza. Basta confrontare i numeri AIRE con i flussi di espatrio/rimpatrio- o se siete di alcune zone in cui ogni comune ha una miriade di italo-qualcosa residenti all'estero ve ne rendete conto anche da soli. Per l'immigrazione non si perde nulla. Se un discendente di bisnonni o trisavoli italiani ha intenzione di venire a vivere qui, ha ancora un requisito di soli 3 anni di residenza. Qualcosa si perderà in alcuni sport, ma non si può certo farsi influenzare dalla nazionale di cricket o di hockey per fare una legge sulla cittadinanza.

Non cambia nulla per chi ha iniziato le pratiche prima di oggi, e chi non le aveva ancora iniziate di certo non avrebbe avuto la cittadinanza entro il 2026.

Podium for Vonn.

That's objectively false. If all you care is the number of medals at the WCh (why? they are not even that much more important than World Cups), and all the rest of the year is worth nothing, you should really pick another country to support -the Italian system is not, and hopefully will never be, based only on that. To say that there has not been any progress since 2018 in this thread (freestyle skiing being the biggest example of a huge progress) is quite something. that means that, like the whole season suggested, we will have a lot of medal chances next year. In the summer it was the opposite - many World Champions and medalist who later came short at the Olympics. Being third or fourth today will hardly change anything about what can happen in 2026. I much prefer having a lot of consistent podium finishers in the World Cups week after week.

Who are the Russian athletes who are refugees in Italy?

Antropova has moved to Italy as a kid (she's way more Italian than some people claiming to be Italian despite not even knowing the language decently) , nothing related to hiring random Russians as if national teams were club.

A lengthy ban on the Norwegian team would only be fair in this case.

It's probably difficult to understand if you grew up where this is normal, but for most sport fans outside of North America halftime shows make as much sense as futsal matches on the stage in the middle of a concert.

mancano snowboard, freestyle, short track, pattinaggio velocità e figura, curling... a meno di disastri dappertutto si dovrebbe arrivare a ben più di 10-12 medaglie.

Big money, good lawyers for the liar sinner - now back to South Tyrol Monaco to take some boosters in time for Roland-Garros.

this is not a mixed sex event though, the only mixed one was axed from the program. It's FIS being stupid.
