A great success especially for 18-year-old Collomb. For Della Mea it is also the first medal in a senior event.

It's not an Olympic event anymore, but it's always nice to win a medal. Especially someone as young as Giorgia Collomb.

The Norwegians supposedly took them under their wing and that's where the good results come from. In my opinion, every large nation should have a smaller team under your care, like: Austria-Italy, Poland-Ukraine or Slovakia, Germany-Switzerland etc. Then the sport would develop and there would be more countries at wide the top.

Lollobrigida has a very good form: yesterday she won the 3000, today she was on the podium in the 1500. I`m a bit disappointed by Ghiotto's performance yesterday in the 5000 - his loss to Eitrem was big: 2 seconds.

Have a lot of people been dying lately, or is it just I think that?

There is information about Juventus's catastrophe with Benfica

I think that team sport will be unavailable to Russia, not only hockey but also curling, bobsleigh, relay in biathlon, short track, speed skating etc.

I have the impression that even for the World Cup he will not be released earlier or someone from Italy or the Netherlands will simply keep an eye on him.

Podio su Wierer sarebbo bello dopo qualche 4 posto. Dobbiamo contare anche sul recupero e sulla buona forma di Vittozzi nella prossima stagione, poi magari arriverà qualche medaglia nel biathlon in Cortina.

The problem it`s that she losing places on starting list.

Brignone may lose the general classification to Gut by not finishing a lot of giants slalom: 3 DNFs out of 5. Today she could have taken less risks and finished 2nd in front of Gut but she lost 80 points to her. Bassino hasn`t only had problems with her health this season but also with her bad form.

I was counting on the fact that the recent terrible performances would shake up these people and it seems to have worked Giacomel yesterday said in an interview that he was hurt by the attacks of fans on social media and stood up for his teammates. It's great that he finally broke through on the shooting range, because running it looked pretty good the whole time. Wierer was also good but it's a shame about that last shooting, because 2nd place would have been a sure thing. The atmosphere will definitely improve before Anterselva and that's good. The Italian teams need to stabilize and defend their places in the top 10 in the Nations Cup: this is guaranteed 5 places in 2026 games.

I think that you don`t like only Norway

Meglio tardi che mai, ma il cambiamento avrebbe dovuto fatta dopo la scorsa stagione. Ora sarà difficile trovare qualcuno di nuovo, soprattutto nella stagione pre-olimpica. https://www.fantaski.it/news/2025/01/16/simone-del-dio-lascia-la-guida-tecnica-dello-slalom.asp

I don't know what's going on with them but last season was great. Nothing indicated such a disaster.

18th place for the Italian relay. We've hit rock bottom this season. The entire team is completely out of shape and it's getting worse with each stage. The women's team is decimated by injuries, illnesses and without its leader - Vittozzi. The worst thing is that this season counts towards the Olympic qualifications... This is the worst result for the Italian men's relay since January 2020 - then we took 23rd place in Oberhof...

In general Swedes don`t the most like are Norwegians from neighboring countries?

A bit of a strange sport, similar to water polo. Referees can arbitrarily influence the outcome of the match through penalties.

Do you like Brazil?

Do you remember the time when Lino Cervar was the coach of Italy?

Il biathlon italiano non sta andando bene in questa stagione. Finora non è salito nemmeno sul podio e non sembrano esserci prospettive. So che Vittozzi non c'è più, ma anche senza di lei abbiamo avuto risultati decisamente migliori nelle ultime due stagioni. La prestazione della squadra maschile in questa stagione è stata decisamente scarsa: praticamente tutti sono peggiorati rispetto all'anno scorso. Non so per cosa vengano pagati questi allenatori, ma a me sembra un lavoro mal fatto. Guardando alla Fisi, solo lo snowboard alpino ha fatto progressi visibili e forse anche il settore freestyle: sci cross, big air. Gli altri restano fermi nello stesso posto o addirittura si passo all'indietro come nel biathlon. Lo sci alpino è salvato solo grazie a veterani con più di 30 anni: nessuno sotto i 30 è salito sul podio questa stagione. Nella prospettiva del 2026 sembra sempre peggio.

Another embarrassing start for the Italian team. Finland, Switzerland are making progress but not us...

When I was in Slovakia in 2003 at the hot water swimmingpool, there was a photo of the gold team from the 2002 World: in the shop and in the hotel.

In ski jumping 20 years ago had most of its competitions during the day and now 90% of the World Cup competitions are held in artificial light. I wonder where ski jumping gets its money from and biathlon doesn't?
