  1. I understood that only the score of the finals counted, probably i understood wrong, i thought the missed final counted like a 0 point performance.
  2. Nobody knows, Portugal had higher final score than Ukraine.
  3. Are you sure? In sarbre there are 2 more world cup
  4. The second race of 2 man was the european championships, i also think that Sigulda track is not omologated for 4 man bob
  5. Its 1500 and 800 qualifiers that can swim open water, Who Is qualified in open water cant swim in 800 or 1500 of they dont swim the requested time
  6. Alessandro Argenton 🇮🇹 passed away yesterday aged 86. He was Gold medallist in equestrian team eventing in Tokyo 1964 and individual silver medallist in Munich 1972.
  7. No, Woolley was behind iranian guy in the Olympic ranking , around 8 points behind.
  8. First try ti qualify for Paris Will be at the end of november at italian champioships, 1.06.0 the time limit. If less than 2 swimmers achieve the time another chances in february and march when the time limit Will be 1.06.3
  9. They dont have this kind of policy, if they have the number 3 of the ranking they bring them to the olympics. Ranking Is not a backup , Is a different and more significant way toqualify for Olympics, Who qualify via ranking Is qualified on the field , every sport should have many more places given by ranking and less spot given in random 1 shot race or tournament.
  10. https://www.raiplay.it/dirette/raisport I dont know if its available in India.
  11. Yes, i know, i meant realistically....
  12. Its Better than expected, a lot Better, 2 medals not easy, one 4th place,5 olympic pass was what we expected considering LW2 completely out of shape for serious health problems and that we Lost all our wonderful boys on 4- and 2- with new crews and quite young for man rowing, we presented also a very good women 8 that could go go to Paris if NZ and Netherlands Will not partecipate il Luzern. We can add 1 male and 1 women boat in Luzern and some chance also for men single.
  13. Italy had a great team in rowing, only man rowing, now everybody Is retiring and we are struggling, i see only 3 men boat in Paris. Canoeing has Always been less important than rowing in Italy, if we dont consider the 90's we have Always been very weak, and in this period we were Better in 200 with Rizza and Di Liberto. Strangely we now are better in canoe where we really never existed than kayak where we had people like Rossi,,Bonomi, Scarpa dominating the 90.
  14. With these expectations it will be' always a disappointment, Fortunato fighting for a medal probably only in a dream, Stano always struggled in 20km after and before Tokyo, Iapichino expected well over 7m? Hey? She was ona of the 6 or 7 medal contenders , she has a personal best shorter or similari to the other athletes Arese expected in final? He had something around 50th time this year, he surely could have done the final but its note a disappointment, there are at east 10 boys clearly better than him who didnt make the final. For the other sport I agree with you that Italy isnt overperforming at all, there are some surprising medals, but also many other medal contenders who didnt bring anything at home.
  15. I dont know if he Will repeat Tokyo performance, but of he stays healthy he can runfor sure around 9.90 and he Will be in finale next year. One hit wonder no, last year he ran 6.41 winning the 60 world title and the 100 europea title beating the Brits.
  16. Pretty big , Italy has a good advantage over Spain , Spain needs something big next week and Italy another disaster , otherwise Italy can win the pass already next week.
  17. Too many if........ ( Many italian swimmers had a lot of health problems in last months buy i didnt mentioned because It doesnt matter , It matters only how they swim in the pool) For next year 1 Gold with 5 total medals would be a very , very good result, 1 Gold with 4 medal good , 3 medals with no Gold not good , 2 medals a complete disaster.
  18. We have also to remember that Italy Lost 5 or 6 finals for hundreths of second , Razzetti twice 9th in 200 Butterfly and Medley , Poggio in 100 breastroke, De Tullio in 200 freestyle, Franceschi Dsq when she swam a time good for final , also the women 4x100 less than 2 tenths from finals so we werent so lucky in terms of finals. Medals from Martinenghi , Ceccon , Quadarella and men relay are not lucky medals.
  19. No Pizzolato today, so no Battle with Nasar, great pity but the problem he had at the end of 2022 Is not completely solved and they dont want tò take any kind of risk....
  20. Italy doesnt buy anyone, only some tier 3 athletes come competing for Italy because they find more difficult to make the team in their country. Look at Tokyo medal table, there is only the bronze medal of Conyedo won by a foreign athletes, 1 bronze medal among 40 medals......I think Andy Diaz Is the First very strong athlete that comes to Italy in many years ( After Chamizo 8 or 9 years ago Who married an italian girl). Zane Weir Is completely different, he Is a product of italian system, when he started asking for italian citizenship ( he had an italian grandfather) in 2019, he was a fantastic 19.50 thrower , then he came to Italy, trained in Italy with italian coach and other italian athletes, with italian facilities and became a 22 metres thrower . Many others , especially in athletics, are Born and raised in Italy or came here when they were 5 or 6 years old children, they are more italian than me, I dont think anybody could say that Ovtcharov Is Ukrainian and not German.
