I`m a traditionalist and I like alpine skiing competitions in the morning hours, illuminated by the sun In ski jumping this is practically non-existentthis in contrast the early 21st century (It's nice that at least there's Planica at the end of every season). There are also traditional competitions under artificial lights, like in Schladming or Madonna di Campiglio. There's no need to do the same thing everywhere as in ski jumping. Alpine skiing finals are rarely super exciting, because usually everything is clear and the skiers are tired from the long season. Finals were often canceled, so this year it was okay for me. If someone wanted a spectacle, that's what the Olympics Games or the World Cup in Kitzbuchel.

If Colturi were to return to Italy, we will have another super duo after Goggia and Brignone. If Colturi has to return, it would be right now, when alpine skiing is so popular here. There are still girls like Pirovano, who are quite young and are already started winning. Alpine skiing in Italy is similar to ski jumping in Poland: there are speak about no young talents, but there is always someone new – it is a matter of the popularity of these sports in these countries and the large amounts of money invested in them.

Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible (

La stagione di sci alpino è stato un successo strepitoso anche senza Brignone e Bassino nel quasi tutta stagione di CDM (l'anno scorso Brignone da sola aveva collezionata 10 vittorie...). È un vero peccato per la malattia di Giacomel, perché avrebbe potuto essere un davero ultimo elemento mancanto nel quest bello inverno: una medaglia olimpica d`oro in piu e una Coppa del Mondo di biathlon, ma forse l'anno prossimo?

Vittozzi finally in good form on skies at the end of the season + probably good equipment. Italy is in 4th place in the women's Nations Cup ahead of Germany... In 10-15 years before, this situation was unimaginable In the men's competition, Italy is in 5th place and Germany is in 4th place- we could say that we are currently 4/5th forces in biathlon on pair with Germany: better are: France, Norway and Sweden.

Italian curling has unfortunately taken a significant step back since 2024 and the change of head coach in that time. Only a medal in the mixed doubles at the Olympics saved this season. It's time for a change, and that's already happening with the men's team.

That's what I read on an Italian ski forum - he had been training with the Italian team for some time: https://www.fantaski.it/forum/topic.asp?topic_id=44261&whichpage=2

Do you have any official information? Sablikova and Takagi were officially said goodbye in Heerenveen, but Lollobirigida wasn't.

It's a shame there's no Olympic qualification for Europe here... Italy is by far the best European team with this lineup from this tournament, and at the European Championships we lost to the Netherlands in the final. Hopefully, we can maintain this current lineup until the Olympic qualification.

Slovakia? Is Slovakia more pro-Russian than the Czech Republic as a country? Why?

For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.

We will need a lot od changes in our staff after this season and I hope our federation will have the money for that`s. Unfortunately, your staff and ski services blew almost the entire Olympics and now we're still in the same situations. Due to their terrible form, we won 1/2 fewer medals than we actually did. Our team has skis on par with Moldova or Kazakhstan – shame!

La domanda è: che questa squadra può ottenere molto più di ora? Certamente, dal 2024, Silipo ha avuto risultati molto peggiori, e anche agli Europei l'atmosfera di squadra era già visibilmente pessima. Nel 2022 e nel 2023, le cose sono andate molto meglio, con la squadra che ha lottato più duramente e anche ha vinto qualcosa, come una medaglia di bronzo ai Mondiali del 2023.

Secondo me, Campagna dovrebbe andarsene prima. Nel maschi c`e il potenziale per competere per grandi obiettivi se tutti migliori giocatori sarrano tornati, ma le donne hanno bisogno di lavorare per molti anni fin da giovani. Anche il miglior allenatore non sarà di grande aiuto nel qella situazione. E chi verrà al posto di Silippo? Martina Miceli? La candidatura semnra buona, ma senza il potenziale umano anche lei si può ottenere poco.

Spero che almeno la volley resti anche sulla reti Rai.

Euroleague donne è anche su Raisport: 1 partita del girone della squadra italiana su casa. Chissà se le qualificazioni per la Coppa del Mondo femminile saranno trasmesse su Raisport nel marzo? Io ricordo di aver guardato l'Eurobasket 1999 dalla Polonia nel Raisport via satellite, anche se credo che le partite decisive, le semifinali e la finale, sono state in differita su Raisport – credo fosse in diretta su Rai 1 o Rai 2, che all quel tempo erano non disponibile dirette fuori dall'Italia. Ma all'epoca non c'era quasi internet, quindi anche una trasmissione con un ritardo di 1-2 ore era OK.

Tuttavia, il basket, così com'è oggi, è probabilmente impossibile da guardare legalmente, a parte un abbonamento Sky o quelle non bene trasmissioni sui siti web dei bookmaker.

During Euro 2016, there was also a scandal about Ukraine wearing T-shirts with a map of Ukraine with Crimea?
