yeah, even if they have to be very careful, because some idiots have already started threatening the track (a few days ago a coolant pipe was damaged by unknown persons, fortunately without serious consequences)

only if there's some kind of buffet before and after the ceremonies

see post above more seriously, I think the lesser evil would be Samaranch Jr. but I don't trust him either, as I don't trust at all any of the other candidates

not so far away from the truth

it shows how poor is the level of the competitors in the SB Alpine division (and the same is for men, if you have the best snowboarders almost all over the 40-year mark)

gaudium magnum, nuntio vobis: habemus Track!!! finally, the Sliding Sports have a new home in Italy; the Cortina Track is ready!!! the inaugural slides are scheduled for next Tuesday, March 25th https://www.oasport.it/2025/03/litalia-ha-una-pista-di-bob-e-slittino-lavori-finiti-a-cortina-gli-azzurri-saranno-i-primi-a-provarla/ (sorry, it's in Italian only)

Coe is the man who supported the previous IAAF officials/wada/fidal/Russian plot against Schwazer and refused to reinstate him after the trial court proved the plot moreover, he just demolished race walking these 2 things alone are enough to hope not to see Lord Seb in a decisional role anymore 😈

Ledeux suffered a severe injury in the last world cup stage in Tignes I hope she'll be back next season 🤞 Tabanelli (like her brother) is clearly the best big air specialist in the world right now, but she's improving fast also in slopestyle, where she's still quite inconsistent, however but she definitely has the talent to win contests in both disciplines (waiting for her to try the halfpipe, too)

probably, yes world boxing is the new olympic federation recognized by the ioc iba simply doesn't exist anymore for them (even if right now no sanction is given to Nations still competing at iba events)

WTF??? 🤣🤣🤣 @hckošice

I know the Anglo-World never liked Juan Antonio Samaranch and they're going to be the same with his son, but they should only be grateful to him, because if it wasn't for Don Juan and South Korea, we wouldn't get any Olympic Games nowadays he did really save the Olympics from the delusions of omnipotence of the politicians ruling the World at that time and from the crazy race to extreme doping of the late Eighties...and if he did something that might be considered "controversial", those who followed him on the sport's more important armchair have been way worse (especially the 1976 Olympic Champion himself, who almost destroyed the Olympics)

a bunch of unfair morons that don't even know the rules from the ISU Technical Rulebook: Rule 254.8 The following situations will not lead to a disqualification in accordance with paragraph 3 above: a) If a Competitor does not keep within the inner lane in the curve or when exiting the curve towards the finishing straight and therefore crosses the line to the outer lane, the Competitor will not be disqualified if returning immediately to the inner lane. When exiting the curve, the return to the inner lane must in any case have taken place before the first of the lines defining the 1000m finish on a standard 400m track. (...) so, unless there's some kind of impeding of the opposing skater, if someone just skate the inner curve wide and gets back within the 1000m lines, there's no room for any kind of punishment neither Eitrem Yesterday nor Ghiotto Today did anything wrong (otherwise almost every 500m skater should be DQed when skating the final stint in the inner lane, as they just can't stay in because of the G force)

oh, c'mon! we don't need to be like Qatar or Bahrein...we don't need to go shopping in places where there's no sign of a true connection between those people and our Country one thing is trying to take advantage of all the athletes with Italian heritage grown up in other Nations, but just "buying" Russians or Africans here and there to win a couple of medals here and there, no thanks!

Italia in CdM nel 2024/2025 (mancano i conti del Biathlon perchè non avevo voglia di farli gara per gara e non ho trovato un riassunto già pronto e del Pattinaggio Artistico, che non seguo/non guardo in TV e non mi interessa minimamente) Sci Alpino: 15 / 5 / 8 (Donne: 12 / 4 / 6 - Uomini: 3 / 1 / 2) Federica Brignone x10; Sofia Goggia x2 - Dominik Paris x2; Mattia Casse x1 Snowboard: 10 / 9 / 11 (Donne: 2 / 1 / 4 - Uomini: 8 / 8 / 7) Lucia Dalmasso x1; Jasmin Coratti x1 - Maurizio Bormolini x3; Daniele Bagozza x2; Roland Fischnaller x1; Aaron March x1; Edwin Coratti x1 e abbiamo avuto uno SBX sotto tono per tutto l'anno, per cui si poteva ottenere molto di più Freestyle: 9 / 9 / 4 (Donne: 5 / 5 / 1 - Uomini: 4 / 4 / 3) Flora Tabanelli x3; Jole Galli x2 - Simone Deromedis x3; Miro Tabanelli x1 Sci di Fondo: 0 / 1 / 1 (solo Uomini, anzi, solo Federico Pellegrino) Short Track: 2 / 7 / 8 (Donne: 1 / 5 / 3 - Uomini: 1 / 2 / 5 - Staffetta Mista: 0 / 1 / 0) Staffetta D 1x - Staffetta Uomini 1x Pattinaggio Velocità: 5 / 8 / 5 (Donne: 1 / 2 / 3 - Uomini: 4 / 6 / 2) Francesca Lollobrigida 1x - Davide Ghiotto 2x; Andrea Giovannini 1x; Team Pursuit 1x e questa sarebbe una stagione disastrosa? l'unica pecora nera, mi par di vedere, è lo Sci Nordico, che però è drogato (in tutti i sensi) da nazioni di imbroglioni come Scandinavi e Germanofoni
