Fantasy GamesGame of Podiums

But now it's back to getting serious with a weekend entirely dedicated to technical disciplines between Switzerland and Slovenia. The predictions of the Neveitalia podium game are already open.

In the only race held in Zagreb, many successful podiums arrived, thanks to the success of Petra Vhlova, ahead of Mikaela Shiffrin and Katharina Liensberger. Unchanged classification with Marco Antonio Canepari still in front of both points of margin on MXSV96, which rises to 4 podiums guessed in the season. The leading pair seems to stretch towards the pursuers: the third one pays seven points.
However, tomorrow and Sunday there will be an opportunity to overturn everything. The men will be engaged in Adelboden for a Giant (Saturday with the first heat at 10:30 and the second at 13:30) and a Slalom (Sunday with the heats at 10:30 and 13:30). It has not yet been decided when and where the slalom in Zagreb will be recovered, while, as anticipated, the Super-G canceled in Bormio will be recovered in Wengen.
Kranjska Gora takes the place of Maribor for the women's weekend races, where she will be back on track after almost a month of stoppage due to Covid Lara Gut-Behrami. The Swiss will be involved in tomorrow's Giant (heats at 09:30 and 12:30), while on Sunday there will be a Slalom, at the same times. In the meantime, the pandemic has forced the FIS and the Austrian federation to move the Flachau slalom to Schladming, for an unprecedented test for the Women's World Cup. Also in this case the predictions are already open.
FIRST PRIZE
The participant in the Game of podiums who has obtained the most points during the season will win the main prize up for grabs: a ROSSIGNOL APPAREL HERO DEPART JACKET MEN'S SKI JACKET and a ROSSIGNOL APPAREL W DEPART JACKET ECLIPSE WOMEN SKI JACKET for a return to the ski slopes. skiing in style.
SECOND PRIZE
The second prize will be awarded to the one who has guessed the most complete podiums. For him a ROSSIGNOL APPAREL HERO SKI JACKET MAN SKI JACKET and a ROSSIGNOL APPAREL W SKI V JACKET WOMAN SKI JACKET.
THIRD PRIZE
Third prize for speed lovers. The ROSSIGNOL HERO TEMPLAR SL IMPACTS SKI HELMET and the ROSSIGNOL HERO BLACK SKI MASK will in fact be awarded to the “king of downhill”, that is to say the participant who has obtained the most points in the downhill races during the season.
REGULATION
The formula of the Game of podiums is the one by now consolidated for NeveItalia fans: it is necessary to guess in exact order the podium of the World Cup races, for men and women. For each "centered" position 5 (five) points are awarded, while 2 (two) are awarded if the athlete on the podium is guessed, but with a different placement from that indicated. Whoever indicates the first three classified in the exact order will therefore get 15 points.
But beware of the Beijing Olympic competitions and the Courchevel finals, which will award triple points. In these races, each correct position will have the value of 15 (fifteen) points, while if an athlete who has reached the podium but in the wrong position is reported, 6 (six) points will be won. Total achievable in these races, therefore, of 45 points.
For each event it will be possible to make predictions up to about two hours before the start of the race. In any case, according to the conditions of the competition, the editorial staff will have the possibility to set a different closing time for the bets. In the hypothesis, in which the competition takes place over several days, the start of the competition on the first day will prevail. If the race is not played or is played irregularly or any type of technical or organizational problem occurs, the editorial staff may decide not to assign any points per event and the insertion of predictions by users will not produce any results on the scoring. If a race is postponed to the following days and this decision is made after the closing of the phase in which it was allowed to send the prediction for the game of podiums, the editorial staff will have the right to reopen the prediction and users will be able to update the prediction sent, up to about two hours from the start of the new race date.

Un anno fa vivevamo il dramma di Matteo Franzoso: a La Parva un incidente che mai sarebbe dovuto accadere
Era il 13 settembre 2025 quando, in quel maledetto sabato mattina in Cile, il velocista ligure finì a velocità elevatissima contro una staccionata, troppo vicina a bordo pista (e ora non più presente per gli allenamenti delle nazionali presenti anche quest'anno nella località). Due giorni dopo, a Santiago, Matteo si spense.
