A sensational victory even in the measure, a 10-4 at the eighth end to break down the resistance of the United States, gold at PyeongChang 2018, and Italcurling can still hope when everything seemed already over in the semi-finals of the men's Olympic tournament.
Of course, an almost incredible combination of results would be needed, also because the Russians in the late evening in Beijing beat Canada at the extra end, but for Retornaz and his teammates the second success (out of seven games) is still a great satisfaction which, at the at the same time, it leaves some regrets for what happened in the first races.
On Wednesday, at 7.05 am Italian time, the confrontation with Denmark at the bottom of the round robin, absolutely to be won in order to remain in the race in some way.
Meanwhile, the short program of the women's competition was also staged as regards figure skating, a highly anticipated challenge even for the most prominent protagonist, as favorite number 1 but, unfortunately, also for the doping case that has seen involved in the last few days. Kamila Valieva, who was allowed to compete after the sentence issued yesterday by the CAS, signed the best score with 82.16 points (against 80.20 of compatriot Anna Shcherbakova who precedes the Japanese Kaori Sakamoto and the other Russian Alexandra Trusova), and will leave for gold in the free program on Thursday, at 11 am Italian.
Even if the result of the ice is not certain it will remain so in the coming months.
