well, he was 17 at that time, which for an Italian is really a super-young age. I doubt he had barely worked on any tactic in his life at that time. It was just his instinct and nothing else. now it's a whole different beast. yesterday he was basically out in the quarterfinals against , but he managed to earn a Gam-Jeom and a head kick with less than a second on the clock. Since that moment he's been just another man, almost untouchable...even the first round against the Korean, who was very lucky to find that last second head shot and come out on top of that last furious exchange. fun fact, the championship opened with the bitter upset of Simone Alessio losing the first fight against an unknown Mongolian and closed down with another Italian on the mat, this time celebrating a huge win for our Taekwondo, that until yesterday was just a joke in this tournament. this morning has been the best wake up in a very long time for me...

ask Peru 1978 or vs in 1982 not to mention FIFA itself fixing a lot of matches in the years thanks to corrupted refs ( Korea 2002, but also vs in 1986, vs in 1990, the 1966 Final...just to name the first games coming to my mind).

disappointing 5th place for Ghiotto earlier Today in the men's 5000m, after last week he was second and close to Roest, who won the race in a track record setting time. yesterday, instead, good 3rd place for Giovannini in the men's Mass Start race and second 4th place in a row for Peveri in the women's version of the same race. without Lollipop, it's a difficult season for our speedskating, but somehow we're still alive.

and another win for Jutta!

maybe I didn't see well enough, but can someone tell me where the decisive hit of the women's -53kg exactly landed? to me, it went at least 10cm away from Zuo's nose

perfect choice...Italian crew for an already fixed match... what could go wrong?
