Mondiali, Fabbrizi e Pellielo in corsa nel Trap. Domani la finale
Si è concluso anche il secondo giorno della gara di Fossa Olimpica Maschile del 51° Campionato del Mondo di Tiro a Volo, al Caer de Tiro Olimpico Juan Carlos I di Granada. Dopo pe quattro serie previste dal programma, l’inglese Edward Ling e l’indiano Manavjit Singh Sandhu conducono la gara con 100 su 100. Nessun errore per i due, seguiti a strettissimo giro dagli azzurri Giovanni Pellielo (Fiamme Azzurre) e Massimo Fabbrizi (Carabinieri). Quest’ultimo stamattina è stato perfetto, siglando un esemplare 50/50, esattamente come fatto da Valerio Grazini (Forestale), salito fino a quota 97/100. Per il quattro volte Campione del Mondo e tre volte medagliato olimpico, l’unico errore di questi due giorni è arrivato in occasione del 23° lancio della seconda serie odierna. Nulla di compromesso, in ogni caso, per le speranze di rientrare tra i migliori sei che domani si affronteranno per accedere ai medal matches con in palio il titolo iridato e le prime tre carte olimpiche per Rio 2016. La semifinale è prevista per le 16.00 e verrà trasmessa in diretta da Rai Sport 2 a partire dalle ore 15.50.
Mondiali, anche Pellielo in testa nel Trap dopo i primi 50 piattelli
Buona la prima. Giovanni Pellielo apre i 51esimi Mondiali di Tiro a Volo a Granada guidando la classifica provvisoria della Fossa Olimpica, insieme ad altri undici tiratori. Il quattro volte Campione del Mondo e tre volte medagliato olimpico non ha sbagliato nulla. Con un perfetto 50/50, guida il gruppo dei 145 aspiranti Campioni del Mondo e si presenta al secondo giorno di gara con un percorso netto. Buona anche la prestazione di Massimo Fabbrizi. Il Vice Campione Olimpico ha avuto una sola defaillance nella seconda serie, ma con 49 segue i vertici della classifica a brevissima distanza. Qualche difficoltà in più per Valerio Grazini, secondo nella Finale di Coppa del Mondo 2013, che ha iniziato la giornata infilando uno zero nel primo piattello della prima serie. Con 24/25 e 23/25 è arrivato a quota 47. Domani la gara proseguirà con altri 50 piattelli di qualificazione e terminerà mercoledì 10 settembre con gli ultimi 25, la semifinale ed i medal matches. I primi tre classificati consentiranno al Paese di appartenenza di ottenere la Carta Olimpica per Rio 2016.
Italia-Usa 1-3 ma gli azzurri avanzano alla seconda fase dei Mondiali
Ancora una sconfitta per la Nazionale maschile di pallavolo, che cede per 3-1 (25-18 25-20 23-25 25-17) agli Stati Uniti, ma riesce ad entrare comunque nel girone della seconda fase dei Mondiali in Polonia (per numero di vittorie nei confronti del Belgio con cui hanno concluso a pari punti), dove sono attesi a Lodz dalle gare con Serbia e Polonia (mercoledì 10 e giovedì 11) e a Bydegoszcz da Australia ed Argentina (sabato 13 e domenica 14). Quattro gare da vincere per continuare ad inseguire la fase finale a sei, che in questo momento sembra molto lontana. Birarelli e compagni partiranno con soli 2 punti e dovranno cercare di raggiungere il terzo posto ora occupato dalla Serbia con 6.
L'Italia contro gli Usa aveva l'occasione di riscattarsi, dopo lo scivolone con Porto rico. Non c'è riuscita, ma ha mostrato grande volontà di uscire da una crisi, che gli stessi protagonisti non riescono a spiegarsi completamente.
"Qui in Polonia a parte qualche momento non ci siamo espressi sui nostri migliori livelli - ha commentato Dragan Travica che nella seconda parte del match è tornato a guidare la squadra - Per questo non abbiamo battuto gli Stati uniti ed abbiamo perso le gare in precdenza. Sino a questa partita la sfera ce l'avevamo noi. Avevamo l'occasione di cambiare il nostro Mondiale. ci abbiamo provato davvero con tutte le nostre forze ed i nostri difetti. Non ci siamo riusciti, ma questa è la faccia più positiva della gara".
L'Italia non ha iniziato benissimo, fermata soprattutto dalla forza in battuta degli americani. Nel secondo set Mauro Berruto ha perduto Ivan Zaytsev per un infortunio alla caviglia destra e lo ha sostituito con Vettori. In svantaggio 0-2 la squadra azzurra si è parzialmente ritrovata. Ha "raccolto" molto di più in difesa, ha lottato e vinto 25-23 il terzo riaprendo il match. Sullo slancio gli azzurri sino sono portati avanti nel quarto 6-4, ma poi alla lunga hanno iniziato a sbagliare troppo ed hanno ceduto. Berruto inizialmente ha deciso di rimettere in squadra Simone Parodi, martello accanto a Kovar, confermato invece Baranowicz in regia. Simone Buti, dopo il riposo di sabato ha ripreso il suo posto da titolare al centro insieme a Birarelli. Poi ha utilizzato molto Travica, in pianta stabile dal terzo set e dopo l'infortunio dello "Zar" ha messo dentro Vettori.
Moioli and Sommariva take mixed team cross silver as Italy surpass Lillehammer 1994 record
- SNOWBOARD
A historic day for the Azzurri. With Michela Moioli and Lorenzo Sommariva claiming silver in the mixed team snowboard cross, Italia Team secures its 21st medal at Milano Cortina 2026, surpassing the 20-podium record set at Lillehammer 1994. The medal came between Federica Brignone’s giant slalom gold and Lisa Vittozzi’s biathlon pursuit triumph (podium number 22).
After dominating the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the Italian duo finished second in the Big Final, 0.85 behind Great Britain’s Huw Nightingale and Charlotte Bankes, and ahead of France’s Loan Bozzolo and Lea Casta. The other Italian team - Sofia Groblechner and Omar Visintin - exited in the quarter-finals. It marks snowboard’s third medal of these Games for Italy, following Moioli’s individual cross bronze and Lucia Dalmasso’s parallel giant slalom bronze.
“The greatest satisfaction is seeing our athletes on the podium in nine different disciplines. That shows the federations, the military sports groups and CONI’s Olympic preparation have worked for the benefit of all disciplines and that we are contributing to a widespread sporting culture,” commented CONI President Luciano Buonfiglio. “With our venues, teams and athletes we are sending a message of positivity, healthy living and strong values to the younger generation. Italy is proving to be a protagonist in winter disciplines as well as summer ones, thanks to the excellent organisation of the federations and sports groups, supported by CONI’s Olympic preparation team. Nothing happens by chance.”
He added: “We are well advanced in planning for Los Angeles, identifying members of the Olympic club and coordinating with each federation. Italian sport — CONI, the sporting bodies, federations, promotion entities and associated disciplines — is pursuing professionalism.”
Federica Brignone triumphs in giant slalom: historic Olympic double like Alberto Tomba
- ALPINE SKIING
A seventh gold, a 20th medal, and the Lillehammer legend finally matched. With one week of competition still remaining at Milano Cortina 2026, Italy Team equals its Winter Olympic record — set 32 years ago in Norway — and does so in the name of Federica Brignone, victorious in giant slalom, her signature event and the discipline in which she has claimed 17 World Cup wins.
After gold in the super-G three days ago, the Italian star (photo Simone Ferraro/CONI) once again masters the iconic Olympia delle Tofane in Cortina and secures her second victory of the same Olympic edition — a feat previously achieved among Italian skiers only by Alberto Tomba (gold in slalom and giant slalom at Calgary 1988) — all 349 days after the injury that could have ended her career but instead provided the added drive to claim her first Olympic golds, following a silver (giant slalom at Beijing 2022) and two bronzes (giant slalom at PyeongChang 2018 and alpine combined at Beijing 2022).
Brignone — the first woman ever to win both a super-G and a giant slalom at the same Olympic Games — dominates the opening run and defends her 0.34 advantage over Germany’s Lena Duerr (who ultimately finished ninth) and 0.46 over Sofia Goggia, who slipped from third to tenth after her downhill bronze last Sunday.
Lara Della Mea delivers a superb performance to finish fourth, narrowly missing the podium behind joint silver medallists Thea Louise Stjernesund of Norway and Sweden’s Sara Hector (+0.62). Asja Zenere produces a sensational second run, clocking the fastest time and climbing eight places to finish 14th.
“If you want to understand what a phenomenon is, look at Federica: she is smiling now, but when she was doing physiotherapy in Turin in the early days, she cried from the pain. Perhaps, in a small way, I contributed when I decided to entrust her with the role of flag bearer, because her mother told me after we won the first gold medal: ‘When you called, I saw in Federica’s eyes the desire to do it at all costs.’ That is a wonderful satisfaction,” revealed CONI President Luciano Buonfiglio.
“Working with athletes of this level is very difficult, because you cannot be banal, you cannot improvise; you must know your role, know what they need and try to put them in the best possible condition. With all the pressure she had at that moment, winning proves she truly has all the qualities of a leader,” he added.
Italy return to the Olympic podium after 20 years: Azzurri claim relay bronze in Val di Fiemme
- CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING
Italy’s men once again secure an Olympic relay podium place. At Lago di Tesero in Val di Fiemme, the quartet made up (in order of appearance) of Davide Graz (classic technique), Elia Barp (classic technique), Martino Carollo (free technique) and Federico Pellegrino (free technique) captured bronze over the new 4x7.5km (C/F) distance. It is the sixth men’s team medal in Italian Olympic history (photo Gianpalo Piazzi/CONI), marking a return to the top three in this discipline after a 20-year wait, following two golds (Lillehammer 1994–Turin 2006) and three silvers (Albertville 1992–Nagano 1998–Salt Lake City 2002). On all five previous occasions the longer 4x10km format was contested.
There were embraces, emotion and tears at the finish line, particularly for Pellegrino, one of Italy Team’s two flag bearers at the Opening Ceremony at San Siro Stadium alongside short track skater Arianna Fontana, and competing in what represents his fourth and final Olympic Games. For the 35-year-old from the Aosta Valley it is also the third consecutive Olympic medal of his career (his first in a team event), following individual silvers at PyeongChang 2018 (classic sprint) and Beijing 2022 (free sprint). It is Italy’s 19th medal (six golds, three silvers and 10 bronzes) at Milano Cortina 2026, leaving the Azzurri just one short of the historic record of 20 set 32 years ago at Lillehammer 1994.
Graz produced an excellent opening leg, lying third behind Norway and the United States. Barp’s section was slightly less incisive but he still completed his stint in the top three, again behind Norway and Finland. The baton then passed to Carollo (fourth, behind Norway, France and Finland), with Pellegrino taking over 21 seconds adrift of the leading trio. Yet the Nus star produced a sensational comeback, already closing on Finland’s Niko Anttola at 26.2km before decisively powering past him on the final climb.
Victory went to Norway’s seemingly invincible quartet of Emil Iversen, Martin Løwstrøm Nyenget, Einar Hedegart and Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, who eased to gold in 1:04:24.5. France, represented by Théo Schely, Hugo Lapalus, Mathis Desloges and Victor Lovera, claimed silver at +22.2, while Italy, finishing 47.9 seconds off the pace, secured bronze and comfortably won the sprint for third ahead of Finland’s Lauri Vuorinen, Ivo Niskanen, Arsi Ruuskanen and the aforementioned Anttola (fourth at +57.1).
Big Air: Flora Tabanelli produces heroics to claim historic bronze in Livigno
- FREESTYLE
A remarkable feat under the floodlights of Livigno Snow Park. Just over three months after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in Stubai, 18-year-old Flora Tabanelli claimed a sensational bronze in big air at Milano Cortina 2026.
Olympic Youth champion at Gangwon 2024 and reigning world champion and World Cup crystal globe holder in the discipline, Tabanelli becomes the first Italian freestyle skier — male or female — to reach an Olympic podium. Competing at her first senior Olympic Games, she delivers Italy’s 23rd medal (eight golds, four silvers and 11 bronzes), with six days of competition still remaining.
She qualified sixth with 161.50 points, then in the final — delayed over an hour due to wind and snowfall — scored 90.00 on her opening trick and 94.25 on her third run, combined with 84.00 from her second attempt for a total of 178.25. Only Canada’s Megan Oldham (180.75) and China’s Ailing Eileen Gu (179.00) finished higher. Fellow Italian Maria Gasslitter placed ninth with 159.25, capping another excellent performance in her debut senior season.
Pursuit: Lisa Vittozzi wins 10km and delivers Italy’s first Olympic gold in the sport
- BIATHLON
The sky is Azzurro over Antholz. A monumental Lisa Vittozzi wins the women’s pursuit, delivering Italy’s first-ever Olympic biathlon gold, individual or team.
For the Sappada-born champion — who claimed relay silver a week ago in the mixed 4x6km — it is her first individual Olympic podium, having previously won bronze in the mixed relay at PyeongChang 2018.
Vittozzi becomes only the second Italian to achieve an Olympic biathlon podium after Dorothea Wierer (bronze at Beijing 2022), and secures Italy’s 22nd medal and eighth gold at Milano Cortina 2026, surpassing the seven-gold record set at Lillehammer 1994.
The 31-year-old (photo ANSA), fifth in the sprint 24 hours earlier, was flawless on the range (20/20) and stormed to victory in 30:11.8. The decisive moment came in the final standing shoot, where she outclassed Norway’s Maren Kirkeeide (silver at +28.8). Finland’s Suvi Minkkinen (+34.3) took bronze. Dorothea Wierer finished ninth (+1:30.3), Hannah Auchentaller 26th and Michela Carrara 36th.
Cross: Michela Moioli claims bronze in Livigno and secures a third consecutive Olympic podium
- SNOWBOARD
Gold, silver and now bronze. Michela Moioli collects the final medal missing from her magnificent Olympic haul. After her individual triumph at PyeongChang 2018 and the runners-up finish in the mixed team event at Beijing 2022 alongside Omar Visintin, the Lombardy star climbed onto the third step of the podium in the women’s snowboard cross at Milano Cortina 2026 on the Livigno Snow Park course, delivering the 18th medal of these Games for the Italia Team, one more than four years ago in China (the second most prolific edition in the nation’s history) and two fewer than the record-breaking campaign at Lillehammer 1994.
After finishing sixth in the seeding round, Moioli (photo Luca Pagliaricci/CONI) dominated her heat in the round of 16 and repeated the feat in the quarter-finals, before producing a remarkable comeback in the second semi-final, crossing the line in first place after a subdued start. Another fightback was required in the Big Final: Moioli overtook Switzerland’s Noemie Wiedmer but was unable to find a way past Australia’s Josie Baff (gold) and the Czech Republic’s Eva Adamczykova (silver). It marks the seventh Olympic medal in the history of Italian snowboarding and the fourth in snowboard cross. The other two Italian riders failed to reach the semi-finals: Sofia Groblechner exited in the quarter-finals, while Lisa Francesia Boirai went no further than the round of 16.
