l'ho letta su OA in uno degli articoli di presentazione del mondiale

actually, there are a lot of tracks, but they are all 400m outdoor tracks however, now Montichiari is working for the elite groups training so, no excuse the real problem is that all the guys want to ride on the road, track cycling is just plan B (if not C) because there are no full time track clubs (and among the men the always present military corpse just don't pay enough, even compared to a C class road team)

unfortunately, it's not because of that...😭

Dostal, Vejmelka and Vladar (if he plays enough in the nhl, otherwise it might be better someone like Hrubec)

p.s. potrebbero esserci parecchi cambiamenti in vista di LA 2028 sia come numero di categorie (potrebbero salire a 5) che come limiti di peso (i massimi diventerebbero +82kg) di sicuro cambierà tutto per il resto dell'attività, cone le categorie che scenderanno a 6 M + 6 F soltanto così come sono previsti grandi cambiamenti tecnici nello svolgimento dei match (dall'abolizione dei cartellini VAR per gli allenatori ad altri aspetti ancora più invasivi)

tecnicamente è una delle 2 categorie che vengono raggruppate nella +80kg olimpica (insieme alla +87kg) si può interpretare come si vuole, ma credo che qui considerino il risultato dei +87kg come quello che fa testo come categoria olimpica

surely the technological aspect must not be forgotten, but Predomo is just not competitive at all among the seniors, he's regularly outside the top 25 in the 200m qualifying round and he doesn't look to be taken into too much consideration for the keirin races basically, he's just doing the team sprint (wasted time, a medal is just outside our chances...OK, it's needed for olympic qualification purpose, but it shouldn't be the main focus) I don't know if he can (and want) still make a major step towards world excellence or just be another big "what if" he doesn't have the perfect skills for those races, and he would need a lot of experience to learn to race that kind of event Wiebes yesterday just showed how it doesn't matter how talented you are, if you don't have enough experience the point race and even more the Madison race don't forgive anybody Sierra and Consonni (and in the future, Stella) are the men for those events; Milan should be the heart of the team pursuit and the man for the road race (if LA 2028 will really have a sprinter-friendly course) p.s. the women can't be compared to the men, the competition level is just different

it's raining world records in Toronto! on Friday, Molly O'Callaghan wrote history in the women's 200m free, improving her own one-week young WR up to 1.49.36 on Saturday, no less than 6 new world records were established in the Canadian pool it all started with Hubert Koss swimming an unbelievable 48.16 in the men's 100m backstroke then, it was time for Lani Pallister to set a new mark over the women's 800m free (7.54.00, cancelling Katie Ledecky's record by 3.5 secs), followed by the usual show by Gretchen Walsh, who swam 55.10 over her beloved 100m fly the 4th record was set by Kaylee McKeown in the women's 200m backstroke, improving her own mark up to 1.57.33 the new world record number #5 came in the men's 200m breaststroke, where Caspar Corbeau became the first man to swim the distance below the 2-min mark (1.59.52). In the same race, Shin Ohashi was 2nd and established the new junior world record in 2.02.03 finally, the icing on the cake: Kate Douglass became the first woman in history to swim the ladies' 100m free below the 50-sec mark, covering the distance in 49.93 p.s. check that pool! it must be shorter than 25m...there can't be so many WRs in an early season meet

a big, painful flop so far... just couldn't keep up with the pace in the transition between juniors and seniors, like many Italians usually do let's see if we can waste also Matilde Cenci's talent 😤

Day #3 women's -73kg Gold: Sarah Chaari Silver: Kimi Laurene Ossin (not yet 17 and she's Italian, lives in , but she can't compete for us -at least until she gets 18- because of a stupid law) Bronze: Sude Yaren Uzuncavdar & Zhou Zeqi men's -54kg Gold: Seo Eun Su Silver: Furkan Ubeyde Camoglu Bronze: Jakhongir Khudayberdiev & Aristeidis Nikolaos Psarros men's -87kg Gold: Seif Eissa Silver: Simone Alessio Bronze: Artem Harbar & Szymon Piatkowski

Day #2 women's -49kg Gold: Liu You-Yun Silver: Elif Sude Akgül Bronze: Nodira Akhmedova & Supharada Ateşli men's -63kg Gold: Mohamed Khalil Jendoubi Silver: Mahdi Hajimousaei Bronze: Mahmoud Altaryreh & Jang Jun

e il solito scandaloso atteggiamento gli costa la medaglia d'oro, battuto, come nei quarti di finale di Tokyo 2020, dal tutt'altro che irresistibile egiziano Seif Eissa ieri, invece, seconda medaglia azzurra nelle gare olimpiche ai mondiali di ciclismo su pista, con Vittoria Guazzini e Chiara Consonni che, nonostante una caduta iniziale, riescono a salvare il bronzo nella Madison, favorite anche dall'inesperienza di Lorena Wiebes, che costa a lei e alla compagna di squadra olandese l'oro dopo aver causato la caduta di entrambe durante un cambio, caduta che le vale una clavicola rotta e il forzato ritiro dalla gara in cui le oranje erano in testa

non è sempre vero... e cmq di solito i padroni di casa vincono più medaglie di prima grazie alla forza politica che permette loro di inserire gare favorevoli e agguantare medaglie nelle gare con giuria, cosa che noi non siamo capaci di fare perché i nostri dirigenti pensano più alla loro carriera personale facendo favori agli altri invece di perseguire gli interessi del paese

ma non è assolutamente vero, qui l'unico impianto nuovo è la pista di bob/slittino il resto è un magistrale utilizzo di impianti esistenti e temporanei (senza costruzione di cattedrali nel deserto) l'unico impianto che avrebbe dovuto essere "fisso" e costruito per tempo è la pista di pattinaggio velocità, ma i coglioni non volevano farla a Milano e hanno nuovamente sprecato l'occasione) per quanto riguarda gli sport della neve, se il paese impoverisce e il clima ti penalizza, si può far poco sono sport costosi e che richiedono condizioni particolari destinati ad avere sempre meno praticanti e risorse tra cui tirar fuori dei potenziali campioni bisogna puntare su altro e farsene una ragione

è diverso... i talenti ci sono (vedi risultati pre-juniores e, in parte, juniores la verità è che il nostro sistema (completamente sbagliato) li mortifica, li ammazza prima che emergano in questo senso, l'unica che ha fatto la scelta giusta è proprio la Colturi, che spero non torni mai a gareggiare per l'Italia perché non ce la meritiamo

direi che la top 6 olimpica è ancora molto lontana (almeno 25/30 punti)

e se passiamo, ci sono Spagna o Slovenia (a casa sua) tabelloni completamente sbilanciati tra la parte slovena e quella baltica del torneo

day #1 of the Toronto stage and already 2 new world records!

e purtroppo dobbiamo iniziare con le brutte notizie... dopo l'infortunio disastroso di Federica Brignone in primavera e quello di Marta Rossetti poche settimane fa, l'Italia dello sci alpino incassa un altro colpo da KO Marta Bassino, infatti, si è fratturata il piatto tibiale laterale della gamba sinistra e sarà quindi costretta a seguire tutta la stagione davanti alla TV https://www.oasport.it/2025/10/sci-alpino-litalia-perde-anche-marta-bassino-caduta-e-infortunio-in-val-senales/ se continua così, finirà che non avremo neanche una gigantista al via della gara olimpica p.s. ora come ora sono terrorizzato da ciò che potrà capitare a Sofia Goggia, che chiunque ne abbia le possibilità ce la preservi sana e competitiva ancora a lungo personalmente, temo che non riuscirò a guardare una sua gara fino a Cortina...troppa ansia, troppo stress...meglio abbioccarsi davanti a del buon baseball
