More suspicious to me is the Swiatek case and her short suspension- 1 month + the fact that the head of WADA is a Pole - Witold Banka...

Swiatek?

Cosa intendi? Non è forse vero che il nuovo presidente ha un'idea diversa e sta apportando dei cambiamenti?

No, 12 teams are qualify?

Super mondiale per Brignone, ma il resto è stato deludente: soprattutto Goggia. Paris ha avuto un po' di sfortuna, ma a parte lui la squadra maschile è molto debole. La forza dell'Italia risiede ormai quasi solo nelle persone che hanno più di 30 anni.

No Vlhova, no party :P

Finally! The most deserved gold in history. Win without any discussion, so that no one else can push in. Now it's time for the second World Cup in her career.

They did what the Italians should do, but unfortunately Giacomel has been too inconsistent this season. He has great performances but makes inexplicable mistakes. In any case, Italian biathlon without Vittozzi in great form can count on single podiums at major events at best, nothing more.

Italy another bad day in winter sports and we can already risk that in biathlon there will be no medal for us at the World Championships. Giacomel is out of shape and he was the only one here who could count on a medal. If tomorrow Brignone doesn`t win a medal in alpine skiing, then a disaster is coming for us this winter season.

This doesn`t surprise me, because these are completely different generations of skiers and Schiffrin preferred to start with her friend, who is currently better sports level than Vonn. She might have chosen Vonn only because of pressure from sponsors and the media.

It's just that in winter Italy doesn't have any flagship sport (like Germany in luge, Austria and Sui in alpine skiing) and recently we've had practically no positive surprises for outsiders, like in summer events. We have the multitude of 4-5 places and still watching the backs of the powers in different sports, whether in luge or alpine skiing etc. In alpine skiing we have strong girls but if that translates into 1-2 medals at the World Championships, then we have nothing to talk about. Especially since Brignone and Goggia are over 30. Next year's winter games will be an epochal defeat for us, because it will be difficult to even win 10 medals. Only speed skating and short track can save us. Some results in the last few days in several competitions: - Paris: 4 in men`s downhill (0,15 to podium), - Goggia: 5 in women`s Super G (0,06 to podium), - Paris: 7 in men`s Super G (0,16 to podium), - Fischnaller: 4 in men`s single luge, - Voetter/Oberhofer: 4 in women`s double. Only Brignone in women`s Super G have a medal but only silver behind 0,10 sec. Venier from Austria. It's really hard to watch you constantly lose to Germans, Austrians or Swiss in various disciplines and you're helpless in it and no other positive surprise compensates you for it. I'm slowly getting fed up.

We only have Brignone's chance left in the giant slalom. If she doesn't make it, we'll end up with 1 silver in the Olympic events. Very bad.

China won here against Poland on penalties... Poland recently lost very badly to Slovakia and Latvia at the World Champ. and is definitely the weakest team present here.

Goggia before her last injuries in period: 2022/2024, would have fought for gold even on this course. Unfortunately, another accidents have taken their health and she is no longer the same skier she was before. Throughout the current season, Goggia has been at a lower level in the downhill than Brignone, which was once unthinkable. Apart from Goggia, Brignone couldn't do anything yesterday and Delago and Pirovano aren`t currently at medal level.

China got rid of all the naturalized players from Canada and the US, so this is no surprise. With them on board, they were on equal lovel with Japan. Without foreign recruitment the Chinese team is worse than Slovakia or Holland.

French hockey is at a quite high level - you can see the idea and the continuation of the good work by both women and men.

Is he play with Orban in one team?

https://www.oasport.it/2025/02/slittino-max-langenhan-trionfa-nuovamente-ai-mondiali-dominik-fischnaller-quarto/ Non riusciamo a superare il predominio di Ger e Aut nelle discipline in cui siamo forti: il singolare maschile e il doppio femminile. E questa situazione difficilmente cambierà, anche sulla nostra pista di casa. Siamo ancora al 4° o 5° posto. Senza il fenomeno come Zoeggeller non sconfiggeremo la potenza di Germania e Austria nel singolare. Nella staffetta, però, siamo troppo deboli a causa del pessimo singolo femminile, che è troppo indietro rispetto a Lettonia e Stati Uniti nella lotta per il bronzo.

It's a shame about Brignone, but sport isn't fair. Brignone has never been lucky in the World Championships. Hopefully she wins the giant slalom, but she can't out off the track.

Gold, nice.

They should have already run the final and only then released these songs. I didn't expect that Austria - the homeland of alpine skiing - would pull such a embarrassment. I think that they decided that this is a non-Olympic competition and could be treated more loosely.

Ok.
