Arianna Fontana wins gold in short track speed skating
L’Italia continua a impressionare il mondo dello sport ai Giochi Olimpici invernali di Pechino, alla resa dei conti sono 17 medaglie vinte dagli Azzurri. 

Reduce da un incredibile prestazione dai Giochi Olimpici dell’estate scorsa a Tokyo, la squadra Italiana aveva grandi ambizioni. Il bottino di medaglie conta due ori, sette argenti  e otto bronzi, che piazzano l’Italia al 13esimo posto nel medagliere. 

Nella spedizione di Pechino gli Italiani hanno quasi raggiunto il record assoluto di medaglie nei giochi invernali ottenuto a Lillehammer nel 1994, con un totale di 20 medaglie. 

I primo dei due ori di Pechino è stato vinto da Stefania Costantini e Amos Mosaner nel curling misto al loro debutto olimpico, mentre il secondo è stato vinto da Arianna Fontana nei 500 metri short track. Gli Azzurri hanno fatto bene nello sci femminile con Brignone, Goggia e Delago che hanno portato a casa altre 4 medaglie (Brignone x2). 

Alla cerimonia di chiusura erano presenti il sindaco di Milano Sala e il sindaco di Cortina Ghedina, ai quali spetta il compito di ospitare i prossimi giochi olimpici a Cortina nel 2026. La cerimonia ideata da Zhang Yimou ha usato ventimila lanterne rosse che hanno illuminato il cielo, mentre Xi Jinping ha osservato felicemente il termine di un’olimpiade che lui aveva promesso sarebbe stata “semplice, sicura e splendida”. 

Winter Olympics of Beijing 2022: Italy wins 17 medals

Italy continued to impress at the Beijing Winter Olympics, winning a total of 17 medals. 

Off the back of a great performance in the Olympics of Tokyo in the summer of 2021, the Italian team had great ambitions. The final tally is two golds, seven silvers, and eight bronzes, placing Italy 13th in the standings. 

In this edition the Italians nearly reached their best ever tally of medals, achieved at Lillehammer in 1994, for a total of 20 medals. 

The two golds were won by  the couple of Stefania Costantini and Amos Mosaner in mixed curling, and the second was won by Arianna Fontana in the 500 short track. The Azzurri also did very well in the women’s skiing, with Brignone, Goggia, and Delago bringing in another four medals (Brignone x2). 

At the closing ceremony, mayors of Milan and Cortina Sala and Ghedina were present to be handed the responsibility of hosting the next games in Cortina 2026. The ceremony, courtesy of Zhang Yimou, saw 20 thousand red lanterns illuminate the sky as a proud Xi Pinjing observed the end of a successful event, which he had promised would be “simple, safe, and splendid”.
