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.

No, Woolley was behind iranian guy in the Olympic ranking , around 8 points behind.

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

Yes

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.

Not tomorrow, next June

https://www.raiplay.it/dirette/raisport I dont know if its available in India.

Yes, i know, i meant realistically....

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.

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.

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.

I think its Mongolia.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

No, not Wierer, but Vittozzi probably had this problem.

Italy Archery : the dream Is the full team bug It Will be hard, i would say 3 men and 1 women. 4 Athletics: we can qualify all the relays ( probably women 4x400 Will be the harder ti qualify), i think around 55 Artistic swimming : full team 8 Badminton : very difficult to qualify 1 man. 0 Basketball : i Hope we qualify 1 team among men and women, i dont think we Will qualify in 3x3 this time . 12 Beach volleyball : i think 2 men couple and 1 women. 4-6 Boxing: 4 women and 4 men 7-8 Breaking: i dont know, probably 1 women is very likely. 1 Canoeing slalom: the goal Is the full team . 4 Canoeing sprint: i think and hope to qualify both c-1 and c-2 and probably K 1, obviously all men. 4 Cycling BMX : 1 man. 1 Cycling Mountain bike: 2 men and 1 woman. 3 Cycling Road : we are in the worst period ever for men Road race, i think 3 men and 4 women 7 Cycling track: both men and women pursuit, Madison and omnium, the dream Is to come back in 1 individuale sprint event . 8-9 Diving: not Easy to say, i think at least 1 syncronized springboard, then 1 or 2 individuale in platform. 4-6 Equestrian: we must qualify both eventing and jumping this time, but im not sure at all. 3-6 Fencing: full team . 18 Field hockey: very slim chance for women . 0 Football: no chance for women, a slim chance for men. 0 Golf : 2 men and 1 or 2 women. 3-4 Gymnastics artistic: i Hope both teams but for men It Will be a Battle. 6-10 Gymnastics rhytmic: full team despite the last scandal. 7 Trampolino: we have a small chance this time 0-1 Handball: Oh, my God......0 Judo: we can try to qualify more than the last times. 10-11 Modern pentathlon: I think we Will go with 2 women and 1 man. 3 Rowing: difficult to say because almost all the crews are going to change, probably 13 men and 8 or 10 women. 21-23 Rugby sevens: no chance. 0 Sailing: the hardest to qualify Will be both 49ers. 10-12 Shooting: full team in skeet, probably only 3 in trap, 2 in rifle, 2 or 3 in pistol. 10-13 Skateboarding: i dont know, probably the same as Tokyo, 2 men and 1 woman.3 Sport climbing:we should qualify more than 1 in both men and women. 4-6 Surfing :1 men. 1 Swimming: more men than women, i think around 35. 30-36 Table tennis: 1 women. 0-1 Taekwondo: 2 men are very likely, the goal Is to bring back 1 woman After many, many years. 2-3 Tennis : from 6 to 8 triathlon: 4-5 Volleyball: both teams. 24 Water polo: man for sure, difficult for women. 12 Weightlifting: i think 3 are sure but the goal Is the full team. 3-6 Wrestling: the goal Is to qualify 1 woman. 2-3 The Total should be around 320-330 athletes

Matthias Mayer suddenly ends his career....

Sinceramente i risultati di questi giorni dei circuiti inferiori e giovanili fanno vedere una luce in fondo al tunnel, si sono viste cose buone in tanti settori , anche di scarsa tradizione , da ragazzi giovani, su tutti i risultati di Matteoli ed anche Monteleone nello snow e sci freestyle....... Vittozzi, Wierer, Goggia, Curtoni, Bassino, Brignone,lo short track maschile, Pellegrino, Dominik Fischnaller , snowboard alpino, Visintin e Sommariva che sono comunque competitivo nonostante una 2 giorni brutta a Cervinia,Sieff, Ghiotto, Giovannini, Peveri nella mass, mi sembra che ci siano diversi atleti, fra loro con livelli di competitività diversa chiaramente, che possono garantire ancora diverse stagioni ad alto livello, sono un numero considerevole. Senza dimenticare Paris, le veterane dello short track femminile, la Lollo, Moioli , Hofer che sono assenti o in difficoltà. Ed anche i giovani hanno già fatto vedere qualche sprazzo di indubbio talento come Giacomel, Deromedis, Della Vite, Franzoni, Pirovano ( che non è più giovanissima ma di stagioni intere non ne ha praticamente mai fatte)una certa verve nel biathlon con diversi ragazzi e ragazze da cui si può sperare esca qualcosa di veramente buono, alcune ragazze nelle discipline tecniche dell'alpino hanno ottenuto buoni risultati in Coppa Europa e si sono affacciate a punti in Coppa del Mondo, Felderer che ha fatto intravedere qualcosa di molto interessante , Bresadola, aspettando poi lo skeleton in cui sono curioso di vedere il livello medio dei nostri..... Insomma, secondo me non siamo poi messi così male, e comunque meglio rispetto quanto potesse sembrare qualche mese fa, pur essendoci qualche settore che sicuramente è in difficoltà come lo sci alpino maschile o addirittura agonizzante come lo sci di fondo femminile e il bob .
