Long interview with Matteo Guarise He talks about Lucrezia's injury and surgery. Hopefully she will manage to be back on the ice sometimes in March... ??

Maths aside, I think they'll send Lara to Worlds as Anna is already doing Junior Worlds.

He wants to go back to his 20s ?. (I wanted to share a picture of his but I can't manage to do it... Url won't work... Suggestions?)

I don't expect people to always write "serious stuff" in here but, tbh, I find your post, quoting mine which is about a skater who's facing back to back injuries and is still unsure about the outcome, a bit "over the top" to say the least...

I'm afraid it won't be a quick recovery... ?

Lucrezia's foot is injured again.... after 2 months off the ice this summer for a stress fracture.... it doesn't sound good :(

Now with the Challenge Cup's results, we can be pretty sure that Conti & Macii will be @ Worlds ;) (not that we needed further confirmation:sekret: but still...)

? In one of the post-Euro interviews, Italian Eurosport commentator would remark over and over how consistent B&G were in the short always going clean and Lucrezia always nailing the throws... Today on their first competition after Euros... she fell on the throw...:yikes: So please ? :D

A bit more info about them has been added to the MilanoCortina2026 IG page. For those wondering about their names: Tina is supposed to be short for Cortina and Milo abbreviation for Milan... I like the idea of having the Paralympic and Olympic Mascotte so linked together.

They are stoats (I had to look up in a dictionary as I didn't know the English translation! :COP:) If someone asked me what is the most "meaningful" Italian animal I would have trouble to name one tbh... Stoats live only in the Alps here, so I guess they are just fine for the Winter Olympics ;)

Oops... Thanks I edited it

The 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Mascottes have just been revealed. Tina & Milo ? They are the "winners" of a contest for Italian school kids who had to draw a mascotte for the Games.

For the pairs I do agree with getting rid of 1 of the sbs jumps in the FS, it's enough for testing the skaters jumping in synch (which imo is far more important than the skaters single jumping ability). Why not getting both the pair and sbs spin instead of having 2 sets of sbs jumps I never...

Now that she has posted a picture herself, I think it's okay to post here too. Nicole Della Monica is expecting a baby ?

Oh yes, not a word when our skaters win medals but a full page when a "scandal" happens... Anyway, I won't bet the article is fully reliable especially this quote doesn't make much sense to me :huh: Anyone who has been following this issue more closely can understand this?
