I don't think it's about the Crimea issue. It goes back to 2014, and then Russia started normally. At that time, the problem was organized doping. Another 3-4 years of a total ban for Russia and the sport there will completely collapse. Most of the current stars will either end their careers or go to other countries to compete (for now this think isn`t on a mass scale but I think that soon there will be a movement. For now, there is still waiting).

The Italian finally got up and finished the race. Today, the first junior gold for Italy since Ulissi in 2006-2007. Mark Lorenzo Finn won. In recent years, we have had gold medals in the men's U23 category: Battistella in 2019 and Baroncini in 2021. So far, however, these competitors havn`t met expectations. In my opinion, if we don`t have at least 1 Italian group at the WT level, it will be difficult to reach the results beginning of the 21st century. In 2005, when the Pro Tour (now World Tour) was created, Italy had 4 groups in this series: Lampre, Liquigas, Domina Vacanze and Fassa Bortolo. And yet we had very strong groups before: Mapei, Saeco, Mercatone Uno etc. Now we don`t have one

Afghanistan has some kind of government in exile? That's a bit different than China-Taiwan, which this second occupies some territory on an island.

I remember the old days - when we were still a power in this sport, we usually lost to Spain in the European Championship final or the World Cup semi-final :P However, the World Cup final was usually Brazil-Spain.

Is this Afghan flag still valid or it`s a mistake?

Silver for Slovakia in women junior race for time trial.

Little time?

I don't know if he was in good shape today.

Ski jumping is a winter Olympic discipline, so I decided to write here. Especially since the independent thread about this sport is currently rarely visited due to the warm weather outside.

The rivals are weak but for example the Slovenian team had a strong squad: Prevc and Klinec. https://www.neveitalia.it/sport/scinordico/salto/femminile/news/storiche-azzurre-a-rasnov-e-doppietta-nel-grand-prix-con-lara-malsiner-davanti-ad-annika-sieff

Vancouver 2010 also was very good, especially music.

The most beautiful intro ever:

Footbal- Championse league, cycling in last weekend, tennis.

In Turin it was probably similar. The races with Fabris were on Monday around 4pm. It was still light outside the window. For today, these are the biggest events with the participation of Italians: Goggia in the downhill, Brignone and Bassino - giant slalom, Ghiotto in speed skating, short track with Sighel and maybe Fontana + Vitozzi in biathlon.

In your town situation it`s ok?

What`s city it`s?

It saddens me that Federnuoto cares so little about women's water polo. We are clearly lagging behind, not only the men's team, but also other countries that used to be much weaker than us: Spain, Greece. I don't understand where is the problem? Federnuoto cares about the development of all the disciplines under its aegis, except for women's water polo, which is folding year after year.

Probably only those who have played with us before. There is no chance of aquistion someone from the NHL because there is too little time.

This damned judo again with this weird judging. Whether it's the regular games or the Paralympics, we're still unlucky. I don't like this sport.

Second gold.

A performance very similar to the regular Olympics in Paris and even a little better, because the ratio of gold medals to medals overall is better in para-olympics.

Two almost sure.

I hope for 3 in swimming and 2 in athletics today. Maybe 1 in judo or cycling? The goal will be 70 medals overall.
