phelps

only because of the veto option by mayor Sala within the OC board, otherwise they tried to steal also the true Olympic Opener (just like those in Turin are trying to steal some events of the 2026 OG just to put their hands on the Olympic funding )...

Women's Team Kumite Gold Medal Match: Egypt vs France Bronze Medal Match #1: Japan vs Italy Bronze Medal Match #2: Montenegro vs Colombia Semifinal #1, EGY vs JPN Semifinal #2, FRA vs MNE Men's Team Kumite Gold Medal Match: Italy vs Serbia Bronze Medal Match #1: Turkey vs Kazakhstan Bronze Medal Match #2: Uzbekistan vs Azerbaijan Men's Semifinals (ITA vs TUR starting at 8:00; SRB vs UZB starting at 50:25)

I fear it's something related to the Islamic Friday... I've seen many times websites of events held in Muslim Countries stopping the updates on Friday afternoon and the whole Saturday's... however, that's just my guess, I have no official news about that...

it's the ancient Roman Amfitheater... nowadays it's used for operas and concerts almost exclusively, but they held also a couple of World League Volleyball matches of our men's National team in the recent past... still, it's too small (it can accomodate no more than about 22,000 people) to host the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games (and moreover, it's the Milano-Cortina Games...and it's been clear from the beginning that the Games opener would be in the San Siro Stadium in Milan)... Bormio is cool, but the Dolomites are just on another level in terms of landscape...

yesssssss!!! we're in the men's Team Kumite Gold Medal match!!!

Sad news (not that the Egyptian won, just the American being severely injured, of course)... Hope the American girl (one of the most surprising finalists of the whole competition) can recover in full and quite quickly...

and it's "triplete" of Gold Medal matches also for Italy (actually, Egypt now have 4)... in fact, Angelo Crescenzo will defend his world title on saturday afternoon after having eliminated all of his opponents (his arch-rival Eray Samdan included) in a crescendo of emotions...
