e nel frattempo godiamoci un esordio stagionale da paura dei nostri "nonnini" dello snowboard alpino 3-1-2 in 4 gare e ho detto tutto ps oggi, incoraggianti segni di vita anche da Gismondi (nella "sua" gara) e Carollo nel fondo e da Pergher nei 500m donne del pattinaggio veloce

tra l'altro, ha pattinato ben prima del ceco (che quindi sapeva perfettamente che tabella impostare per far meglio) e lo ha fatto con un inconsueto (per lui) negative split, girando più veloce anche del ceco negli ultimi 3 giri, a dimostrazione che aveva ancora da spendere e, volendo, avrebbe potuto osare anche una tabella più veloce nella fase centrale della gara ps Semirunnyi e il suo 12.28 non fanno così testo, visto che l'ha ottenuto nel gruppo B in condizioni più favorevoli (niente pubblico, ghiaccio più scorrevole, batterie a 4 ovvero con una "lepre" per parte della sua prova) io continuo a pensare che se verrà estratto a pattinare nell'ultima serie con un abbinamento favorevole, ovvero nessuno dei diretti contendenti (soprattutto Jilek, Semirunnyi, Eitrem e, più di tutti, Dawson e Loubinaud), Ghiotto sia ancora il netto favorito sui 10k e anche sui 5k, cmq, se messo nelle stesse condizioni ideali, può benissimo mettere tutti in fila

Italian hopes for LA 2028 done and dusted... Local prosecutor in Trapani requested a 10-year sentence against Antonino Pizzolato (and 3 friends of him) because of a supposed rape against a tourist, down in Sicily (and it looks he'll be almost certainly convicted, there's no sign he can be named not guilty by the evidence) https://www.oasport.it/2025/12/nino-pizzolato-chiesti-dieci-anni-di-reclusione-le-motivazioni-della-procura-di-trapani/ I know he's quite an idiot, but I never thought he was so disgustingly an asshole

it's Christmas time! miracles happen! 2 Italian girls in the semifinals of a women's sabre world cup tournament and since they're going to face each other, one is guaranteed to make the gold medal assault

great fencing weekend, with all the 6 weapons on stage nice! but also a nightmare for the fans...how can you follow all of them?

finally the alpine snowboard is back! and it's immediately all the way! basically, with this 1st race of the season alpine snowboard has already given us more wins and medals than any other wineter sport, which is beautiful, but not so good for us

this is not funny at all, pal

according to the Olympic website, both the winners of 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 seasons will earn direct berths to the Olympic Games in LA

tbh, are quite on a downward trajectory in the last few years, I'd be surprised if they can win games vs or they're still in the top part of the world ranking because of the past and the youth tournaments rather than thanks their senior team performing well in the global champs recently in pool B I wouldn't underestimate (in such kind of tournament they can manage the use of Corrick in the circle better than how they did in the last Euro Champs and be very dangerous in a in-or-out match vs ) and even on paper could field a very good team (provided that they can overcome the current political situation) the most balanced pool might prove to be the A one, with and battling out for only 2 spots (even if have the parachute of the wild card because they host the Finals in 2027) and might also be very dangerous on a given day, not to mention , which you never know what kind of team they field nowadays (but they have tradition and know the game)

almost all team sports have their season running across 2 years
