gli è andata stra-bene...punto. a Singapore non scherzano, si va in galera (e si prendono delle gran frustate) se si butta una sigaretta per terra, figuriamoci se si viene riconosciuti colpevoli di un reato ben più grave come il furto... senza aiuto diplomatico, le avrebbero chiuse in gattabuia e buttato la chiave

I mean, great news, but also very sad that he was alchool addicted (I didn't know) @hckošice

wow! grande lavoro, chapeau! e impressionante crescita di risultati per diversi sport olimpici in chiave azzurra, anche se rimane sempre il grande problema di un'efficacia troppo bassa nella transizione tra attività giovanile e senior per i tanti ragazzi che vincono già nelle giovanili

instead of those circus activities, why don't they try with a couple of true Wintersports like Orienteering (the appropriate version, of course) and Archey Biathlon? not to mention Natural Track Luge 🙄

CHL introduces new “No Return” rule for 3-on-3 Overtime The Champions Hockey League (CHL) remains committed to developing the game by adding a new rule to 3-on-3 overtime starting in the 2025/26 season. The rule is being introduced in close cooperation and agreement with the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). The “No Return” rule will prohibit teams in control of the puck in the attacking zone from retreating into the neutral zone during overtime. Should the rule be infringed, play will be stopped and the ensuing face-off will take place in the offending team's defending zone. The rule helps to counteract the recent trend of regrouping under minimal pressure, which has reduced the intensity of 3-on-3 play and led to a higher percentage of games needed to be decided in a shootout. “When 3-on-3 overtime was introduced, it quickly became a fan-favorite due to its quick transitions and odd-man rushes ultimately leading to frequent scoring chances,” said Fadri Holinger, CHL Sport Director. “However, we’ve seen a steady rise in puck possession-based strategies, with teams constantly leaving the offensive zone, leading to fewer decisive moments. With the ‘No Return’ rule, we want to restore the pace, unpredictability and excitement that 3-on-3 play was meant to deliver. We are confident that it will further increase the excitement for the good of the game.” “We are pleased to support this initiative together with the CHL,” stated Kim Pedersen, IIHF Sport Director and Member of the CHL Sport Committee. “The ‘No Return’ rule will provide valuable insight into how it can enhance the dynamics of 3-on-3 overtime and the IIHF will closely monitor its implementation, as well as the data and findings gathered throughout its evolution at the highest European club level.” As a baseline, the CHL studied the game flow in overtime across several seasons. Key findings from games over past years showed a significant increase in regrouping and a rise in dead time spent outside the offensive zone, alongside a drop in shot attempts. As a result, the number of games that were not decided in overtime fell continuously. Data analysis from other leagues across Europe and overseas has confirmed similar figures. The CHL previously introduced three other on-ice rule changes for the 2023/24 season. These rules will remain in effect for the 2025/26 season following their successful implementation and the achievement of the predefined aims.

The CHL Format The 2025/2026 edition of the Champions Hockey League will feature 24 participating teams. The structure allows the CHL to run a balanced, attractive and entertaining competition. How are the Regular Season fixtures drawn? To draw the fixtures for the Regular Season, teams are allocated into four pots featuring six teams each. The seeding is dependent on the teams’ achievements in their national leagues and the respective league’s standing in the CHL League Ranking. Each team is then drawn against six opponents by drawing two opponents from each of the other three pots. Teams play one team per pot at home and the other one away. The result of each game will combine to make up the overall standings (1st to 24th). Three points are awarded for a win, should a game go to overtime or a shootout, teams share the points 2-1. How do the Playoffs work? The Playoffs start with the Round of 16 and all rounds will be played in a two-game, home-and-away, aggregate-scoring series except the Final. Teams face each other based on the overall standings of the Regular Season (1st vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th etc.). How are the places allocated? The six Shareholder Leagues take 18 places, equally split to three representatives each. Teams qualify in their domestic leagues on sporting merits according to the following criteria: 1. National Champions 2. Regular Season Winners 3. Regular Season Runners-Up 4. Regular Season Third-Placed The reigning CHL Champions are automatically qualified for the next CHL season, which grants an extra qualification place to their league. The minimum of participating countries is set at 11 and therefore five Wild Card teams from Challenger Leagues are part of the CHL. The allocation of Wild Cards is subject to Board approval for each season.

quello è un buco incolmabile con il personale attuale (a meno che ora negli usa Curtis inizi a lavorare seriamente anche in quella specialità-ma ne dubito) tocca aspettare che nasca un nuovo talento...

ormai tutti quelli con un minimo di talento per le lunghe distanze preferiscono andare sul fondo, che ha meno concorrenza e, soprattutto, è molto più divertente da praticare non li biasimo certo per quello e cmq il vero nuoto è quello dei 100 e 200 metri nelle varie discipline...per me va benissimo non avere nessuno nei 800/1500 se riusciamo ad avere uno squadrone nel fondo e più talenti nelle altre specialità più classiche

I have no idea, but it looks more an excuse to me the problem is that we don't have so much talented guys and especially, good coaches one thing that everybody would notice immediately, is that our crews always lose a lot already at the start, which means that simply they don't work enough on the individual strenght of the guys: this is not a question of funding, but of the number of hours they spend in the gym

Galossi è perso (e vorrei davvero sapere perchè...la scusa della mononucleosi non regge dopo 3/4 anni e più), ma Ragaini quest'anno ha voluto concentrarsi più sullo studio (ha fatto la maturità, come la Curtis, peraltro...quindi c'è pure quello da considerare nel giudicare il suo mondiale)...tornerà più forte di prima e l'anno prossimo tocca a D'Ambrosio...mi aspetto un 2026 non all'altezza del 2025 per lui, spero che i soliti giornalai da strapazzo lo capiscano

thanks @George_D for all the updates!

it's not a formality, you have to find someone who can keep up with her pace (and we didn't have anybody like that) building a crew is not just the sum of the individual skills, it's way more complicated (like having a single sculls specialist in rowing, there are people built for that and people who can give more if paired with somebody else)

intanto, oltre che nel nuoto, arrivano grandi risultati anche dal mondiale juniores di ciclismo, dove hanno brillato diversi prospetti sia maschili che femminili oro back-to-back per il quartetto maschile (e con un certo margine, anche se non esagerato come l'anno scorso), Magagnotti campione sia nel quartetto che nell'inseguimento individuale e bronzo nel km da fermo (accoppiata davvero inusuale, a conferma della completezza e del talento di questo giovanotto) e, soprattutto, Matilde Cenci dominatrice assoluta del torneo con 3 ori (sprint a squadre, km da fermo, keirin) e un bronzo (velocità individuale) se sprecano il talento di questa ragazza come fecero a suo tempo con Elisa Frisoni (forse il più grande "what if" dello sport italiano negli ultimi 20/30 anni), giuro che vado a pestarli tutti a sangue (federazione, tecnici, la ragazza stessa)

I rely more on the Slalom Canoeing...more enjoyable (in all meanings)

meglio così...già i media italiani dedicano troppo spazio a 'sta roba...chissà che senza azzurre si dedichino a sport più appassionanti! anche se arrivassero medaglie in questi non-sport, per me sarebbe come se non le avessimo vinte, dato che, non guardandole, non ne gioirei io voglio tante medaglie negli sport che amo! e solo in quelli!

by the way, very disappointing championship for the Host Nation we got only a bunch of 6th/7th places in the Olympic events, our best youngsters don't seem to improve enough and our established paddlers are just not good enough to medal year in year out I just can't see a great future for our canoeing despite all the investments and some kind of tradition

it looks like our medal table at the last swimming worlds for quite a few days...finally, we got our gold medals I think (and I hope) you'll get yours in 2028
