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

    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... ?

    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...)

    How many teams will Italy qualify for pairs at worlds next year?

    ? 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

    2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Mascottes revealed

    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.

    2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Mascottes revealed

    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 ;)

    Proposed tech requirement changes (ISU Congress June 2024)

    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...

    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?
