  1. TRT Spor with Turkis VPN.
  2. Italian women's wrestling at the bottom. If Chamizo doesn`t win the quota tomorrow, there is a serious threat that we will not qualify anyone for Paris And the examples of Germany and France show that you can fight even without the naturalization of people from the former USSR.
  3. The Italians aren`t as weak as they looked in the first two matches but today Slovakia had a bad day, which can happen to such a young team. However, their promotion is almost certain. If Italy wins against Slovenia for 3 points, they will take 3rd place and repeat of 2022 and 2023. Next year if South Korea or the Netherlands are relegated, we will have a real chance to fight for promotion higher. It would be best to organize the tournament in Italy next year. There is also a chance that Laura Fortino will be able to play for us (2024/2025 will be her second season in Bolzano in Italian League).
  4. Only Chamizo and Conyedo in freestyle can realistically qualify here. Already in Tokyo we had only 2 representatives in freestyle. I hope Chamizo can do well here because he has bracket within his reach. As for the future, it`s probably see the example of Serbia, Slovakia or Hungary and bringing in someone from Dagestan or Ossetia. Besides, Chamizo and Conyedo also come from Cuba, not Italy.
  5. Frank Chamizo seems to have a good draw? In theory, he should fight 1/2 with the representative of Azerbaijan. How do you see his chances? The most difficult rival from Slovakia (Rus) is in the second part of the bracket.
  6. I wonder what happened to Zanni today? He looked like a person who didn't even want to fight... Injury or some mental problems? For example, a competitor from Turkmenistan clearly broke his personal record and the fight was 100%. For our men has absolutely no emotions.
  7. But then probably a person from the same country is going? For example, a Venezuelan is injured, so someone else from this country jumps in?
  8. So at 99% only Massidda and Pizzolato remain. I have a little disappointment. I was counting on 4 places: 3 men + 1 girl. Well, they didn't deserve it. Today, it was enough for Zanni to pass 336 kg and he would be ahead of the Spaniard.
  9. If I good understand that universal places are intended for exotic countries? There is no chance that, for example, Zanni would get such a place in his category?
  10. All on Italian team is doing terrible this year. At the European Championships and now at the World Cup, no Italian athlete broke his personal record and this should be expected of them. Competitors from other countries fight here and break personal records. I can see their ambition but what does Zanni do? He fails any test, he doesn't even start a fight. Unless he is injured but then he should not start and this should be communicated.
  11. There will be no relocation for Zanni, because in his category only China will give way. Unless there was a doping incident involving someone else. For now, the Spanish men will go to the Olympic Games as 11th, having the same result as Zanni and achieved in the same competition. Zanni was a bit unlucky, but later he did nothing to improve this result by at least 1 kg. Today his performance was scandalous - was it another injury? Either way, neither of them has a 0% chance of winning a medal in Paris.
  12. Objectively, neither Zanni nor any of the girls would have any chance of winning a medal. The top 8 would be the dream. Statistically, it would be better to take 4 people to Paris instead of 2. In reality, only Massidda has a chance of winning a medal but the terrible form of the all Italian team this year is also worrying before Paris. In the case of Zanni, he has been constantly injured lately and did not start or had 0 results.
  13. Zanni is out of the games. Italians have been very disappointed lately. They will probably go to Paris, just the two of them. Unfortunately, neither Zanni nor the girls were able to improve their personal records recently.
  14. I remember John Parco in first. Recently I read that Tomasso de Lucca is a great talent but he may have to choose between Italy or Switzerland, where he lives and plays. As for the rest, I agree. FISG is developing all disciplines under its authority: curling, speed skating, short track, figure skating, only hockey is regressing. The federation didn`t even announce the change of coach in the girls' team on its website...
  15. In 2006 thanks to the Games in Turin, Italy managed to raise its level and advance to the World Division for a few years. And at that time it was more difficult, because Russia and Belarus also played. However, in my opinion the Keenan idea was bad. If you choose someone from Canada, choose a younger one who will be motivated to develop and promote yourself.
  16. The Spanish competitor and the Italian have the same results in the 73 kg category: 335 kg. What determines a higher place? Body weight during the competition in which they achieved their best results?
  17. The Italians must win against Slovenia in the last match for 3 points and they should save themselves. I just hope that Slovakia will treat their last match against Poland with 100% confidence before which they will be sure of 1st place and promotion.
  18. Bolzano's earlier elimination may paradoxically help the Italian team in the World Championships in Bolzano at the turn of April and May. While I don't believe in winning against Slovenia but we can fight against Hungary. There must be the best possible squad and the highest form.
  19. We'll see. Theoretically, the peak of form should be in the Olympic year but the Italian team performed very well in 2022: World Championships and European Championships in Rome. To win medals in Paris you will have to swim faster than in 2022 for the World Champ. and I hope that the Italian team will be able to do it. In the case of Paltrinieri, I am counting mainly on open waters. I also don't know whether Burdisso will be able to repeat to the results from 2021/2022. I have serious doubts. If not him, who will take part in the medley relay? Razzetti?
  20. I hope Martinenghi will swim under 58 seconds in the 100-meter breaststroke in Paris. This is most likely what he will need to achieve to win a medal. The Italian and the Chinese are the youngest among the leaders and have the most room for improvement. Personally, I hope that the Italian will do the same as the Chinese in Fukuoka.
  21. The problem is that hockey is limited only to northern Italy. Thanks, but I think our relegation is inevitable. Of these 3 matches, 1 is against Slovakia, which means 1 defeat is certain. The only solution is 2 wins for 3 points against Poland and Slovenia, which will be difficult given our current mental form at this tournament. Relegation to 4th division will be a disaster, especially in this situation: https://thehockeynews.com/womens/international/pwhl-montreal-gm-daniele-sauvageau-has-role-with-team-italy-as-dib-world-championships-begin It seems that the Italian team did much better last year with an Italian coach Relegation to the 4th division means matches against teams such as Spain, Mexico and Taiwan... I don't know if it will make sense to keep the expensive Canadian staff for rematches against such weak teams. On the other hand, there are the Olympic Games in 2026 in Milano...
  22. Ok I understand. I don't expect Italy to be on the level with Slovakia or the Czech Republic in men's or women's but note that, for example, Hungary or the Netherlands in women's are at a decent level and I believe that Italy, with a good program, could reach their level. Even more so since 2019 we know that we will organize the winter games with Milan-Cortina in 2026. I believe that our defeats against Poland, UK and the weak women`s Latvia are a disgrace to our hockey. Unfortunately, the situation is not better for men either and recently we have been regularly losing to Poland and the UK. I don't know what your opinion is on this and what would need to be done to raise the level of Italian hockey?
  23. Italy in 2019 they were at the level of Slovakia and now they are losing to the UK and Latvia Total blasphemy. The idea of employing a Canadian coaching staff turned out to be a terrible decision and will most likely result in Italy being relegated to a lower division I also don't understand how Slovakia could lose to the Netherlands and fall lower division in 2023?
