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

Discussione dedicata agli Sport Invernali, stagione Olimpica 2025/2026

https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/marta-bassino-injury-alpine-skiing Alpine Skiing Home Olympic campaign didn't start as expected, to say the least...and the season hasn't officially started yet given that we already lost also Marta Rossetti, the tech disciplines aren't worth watching anymore this season under an Italian perspective

it will be in 2027/2028, when it will be an olympic qualifier, I guess imho, it's a better show in SC in this period of the year, when not all the swimmers are in great shape (SC can hide a bit that, since it's mainly start & turns, especially in the shorter distances)

I told you...I'm really getting old... my memory is no longer reliable I should consider a good retirement

quanto casino per una medaglia che al massimo può essere di bronzo, per di più nella meno importante delle discipline di un non-sport le notizie importanti oggi arrivano da Monaco, con una Lisa Vittozzi in gran spolvero sui roller o da Inzell, con gli ottimi riscontri di Ghiotto su 5k (soprattutto) e 10k lo stesso Sighel nello Short Track, al netto delle solite cappelle e/o ingiustizie arbitrali, è in ottima forma e ha fatto vedere che sul ghiaccio italiano, dove Dandjinault non è lo stesso di casa sua, lui sarà l'uomo da battere in tutte le gare e chissene delle attività artistiche dove i giudici fanno valutazioni politiche e il merito non c'entra nulla! anzi, sono solo fortunati che non sia io il presidente del CIO, perchè butterei fuori dal programma tutta 'sta robaccia

I think he already did it last year in MTL...at home, at the beginning of the season, he's just untouchable...then, the Asian and European season are a different beast

and also this week we watched a pair of new WRs Regan Smith equalled her women's 100m backstroke mark (54.02), while Mollie O'Callaghan broke the 1min50secs-barrier for the first time in the history of the women's 200m freestyle (1.49.77 the new record)

great results for in these finals! Bianca Seregni established herself once again in the elite of the Olympic Triathlon by finishing 2nd in Today's women's race and 5th in the WCh final ranking, meanwhile Alessio Cruciani was 3rd in Today's men's event and 7th in the overall ranking, by far the best results for us in the last 20 years, at least

non-sport che non seguo/non guardo, quindi per me sarebbe una medaglia comunque inesistente a me interessano le medaglie negli sport che seguo, per le quali posso godere ed esaltarmi, medaglie che regalino emozioni

Italian selection races for the World Cup (AKA International Races in Inzell) men's 5k: Davide Ghiotto 6.04.52 (new TR, 2 seconds faster than last year in this same race), 2nd was Tim Loubineaud in 6.14.61 men's 10k: Davide Ghiotto, 12.30.44 (3.5 secs slower than last year in this same race); 2nd was once again Tim Loubineaud in 12.42.38; 3rd through 6th were Riccardo Lorello, Michele Malfatti, Manuel Ghiotto and Andrea Giovannini (all ) with times between 12.51 and 13.00 women's 500m: Serena Pergher, 38.29, well ahead of Vanessa Herzog, 38.67 women's 3k: Martina Sablikova just edged out Francesca Lollobrigida, 4.04.05 to 4.04.59 women's 5k: Francesca Lollobrigida, 7.00.08; 2nd was Linda Rossi in 7.03.77 (huge PB); Sablikova didn't take part in this race

not only Poland, I missed all the Nations with 1 Bronze (I'm spent...I just can't even copy&paste anymore )

chiusi anche i mondiali di tiro a volo, siamo a 38 medaglie "olimpiche" nel 2025, 11 ori, 12 argenti e 15 bronzi con ancora alcuni eventi in grado di smuovere (e non di poco) il nostro medagliere (in particolare, i mondiali di ginnastica, ciclismo su pista e tiro a segno), nonostante tutti i fallimenti estivi potremmo/dovremmo essere in linea per almeno eguagliare Parigi 2024 intermini di ori e superare i Giochi francesi nel totale delle medaglie
