Italy just destroyed Nepal 

The IOC banned Oleh Handays  helmet

for the text from the poem:
 
“I have a quote from Lina Kostenko written on my helmet: ‘Where there is heroism, there is no final defeat.’
 

L'oro di Brignone è da film.
 
Siccome non si possono scrivere altro che banalità (tipo quella sopra), dico che mi dispiace per Goggia, che si è mangiata l'oro in super G per la seconda volta dopo Pyeongchang (colpa sua, ci mancherebbe), ma soprattutto per Pirovano, che ha fatto un errore abbastanza banale in alto e probabilmente si è giocata la medaglia. Alla fine le sono mancati 24 centesimi per il bronzo.

How many you want ? 

No, there is a tie-break

Kingsbury 

Io onestamente sono molto rilassato già ora

coach Igor Medved has been send home for an "alcohol incident" in the village   

THE KING IS BACK! 

Of people in general you mean 
 
I'm not Italian and even I'm shedding tears, so happy for her after what she's gone through 

I can't believe this is actually happening 
 
There are two categories of Italians:
- Those who will admit to shedding a tear today
- Those who lie

And it's gold for Brignone

The 2 people who won 3 gold medals out of 3 events so far:
 

 

 

Guys, it's not over until Gasienica-Daniel for the medals

Gold for  Brignone 
 
Her first Olympic gold, well deserved 

And it's gold for Brignone

Guys, it's not over until Gasienica-Daniel for the medals

This would have been my pre-Olympic prediction. Lollobrigida will probably finish higher knowing what we know now. This is always a tough distance to predict with so little 5.000m races during the season.
 
Ragne Wiklund  Isabelle Weidemann  Sandrine Tas (would be great to see a Belgian female skater win a medal here)  Maira Jasch (German skaters disappointed so far, but I still think she could be the surprise of the day) Merel Conijn (definitely prefers this distance over the 3.000m, but not sure if she's much better than she was last Saturday) Marina Zueva  Martina Sáblíková (best ever skater on this distance, but not sure how well she is recovered from her illness that kept her out of the 3.000m. I want to remain optimistic in her final international race of her career) Francesca Lollobrigida (reigning World Champion and in better shape than expected, so will definitely finish higher) Bente Kerkhoff (no idea what to expect from her, her team mates (Groenewoud and Conijn) were in poor shape in the 3.000m) Tai Zhien  Nadezhda Morozova (skated a great 3.000m so she might finish higher, but her 1.000m was underwhelming) Laura Hall 

It worked with the ludge yesterday

Attenzione, Attenzione, here it comes Brignone 

Robinson with big chances in this course now.

Goggia's run...
 

 
 

Heraskevych goes to TAS/CAS
 
 has already appealed.

According to Vlad`s father:
 
Support was also expressed by the Korean national team, the Danish national team, the organizers of the Olympic Games, and representatives of Italy. They came up to us, wished us luck, and said they were very sorry. There were so many, I can't list them all.
 
If anyone has been forgotten, please forgive me, as emotions are running high right now. But we received a lot of support from the coaches and athletes of the German national team, the United States national team, Brazil, and many other countries.

British Olympic skeleton champion Elizabeth Yarnold commented on Vladislav Heraskevich's disqualification from the 2026 Olympics for violating the IOC's ban on the use of “memory helmets.”
"It's really shocking. Many members of our skating community immediately got in touch. There is shock and incomprehension.
I am truly surprised by the reaction to what was an act of remembrance and extremely emotionally important to him.
I believe the IOC should apologize. It was the wrong decision. He was also a medal contender. He is a phenomenal athlete," said Yarnold.

mai stato così sciallato 
eccetto che sul momento delle varie gare, ovviamente
