Race quite funny but very little credible technical content: the challenges were all in parallel, but all were won by those who competed on the blue track of who competed on the track red, so the challenges are all finished at 2-2 and to determine the winner has always appealed to the sum of the times between the best man and the best woman of the two teams against each other. Let's see in detail the path of Italy. In the first round the Blues have sensationally beat Sweden for 34 cents, Chiara Costazza bowed to Maria Pietilä-Holmner but then Aliprandini De Luca and Francesca Marsaglia beat respectively Markus Larsson and sensationally Swenn-Anna Larsson, irrelevant the defeat of Roberto Nani against Mattias Hargin. In the semifinal against Switzerland De Aliprandini Marsaglia and still win respectively against Luke Aerni and Denise Feierabend, but Costazza and Nani give Wendy Holdener and Reto Schmidiger and the sum of the times rewards the Swiss for 99 cents. In the match for third place Costazza beat Eva-Maria Brem and De Aliprandini makes a clean sweep past Manuel Feller, Philipp Schörghofer and Michaela Kirchgasser regulate Nani and Marsaglia and the sum of the times once again penalizes Italy. Here are all the results.
