On the first day of team events at the 2019 World Championships in Hong Kong, Italy's fencing team earned two extraordinary gold medals. The foil quartet of Guillaume Bianchi, Filippo Macchi, Tommaso Martini, and Tommaso Marini retained their world championship title with an epic victory in the final against the hosts, Hong Kong. The women's epee team of Alberta Santuccio, Giulia Rizzi, Rossella Fiamingo, and Gaia Caforio also earned gold with a resounding victory against Estonia. This was a historic double win for the Italian women's foil fencers, already Olympic women's epee champions. The foil quartet…

Destiny was just around the corner for Lewis Hamilton, but it slipped through his fingers twice in a matter of seconds on the track. Although, in reality, the second misfortune took nearly two hours to materialize. The seven-time world champion flirted with the possibility of securing his tenth pole position at his home circuit, the Hungaroring (an all-time and unprecedented record in Formula 1), giving Ferrari its first pole position after only Mercedes had managed it for ten consecutive times since the start of the season. And instead, leading the grid at the Hungarian Grand Prix will be…

“"To paint a great wall, you don't need a big brush, but a great brush," said a famous 1980s television commercial. A maxim that fits perfectly with the new direction of the Italian national football team. Given that the coach can do nothing alone, but like any team, an organization is needed, which has been and always will be the most complex of all. The choice of the Azzurri's bench must be fully in tune with the Serie A clubs. Because if local talents end up on the bench or...

Pep Guardiola steps down, Andrea Pirlo is the top candidate for the Azzurri bench.

Night brings wisdom. And so it must have been for Pep Guardiola, who pondered Paolo Maldini's proposal to take the reins of the Italian national team and put his stamp on the Azzurri's new direction. The Catalan coach's response, which came during the night between Thursday and Friday, was negative. He said he was honored to be considered for the role of coach, but in reality, Guardiola had already made up his mind: he wanted to dedicate himself to his family after ten seasons at Manchester City. The fact that he thought carefully about it means he was aware...

Spain is world champion. Deservedly. For the second time. Like in 2010. Then, after two years, the continental title arrived. At this World Cup, however, La Roja arrived as European champions, clearly proving to be the technically stronger team and the one who plays better. At the New York New Jersey Stadium, De La Fuente's team made history. Argentina, struggling to reach the final act, succumbed to the defeat, along with their captain Lionel Messi. At the end of the 90 minutes of regulation play, which ended goalless, the question arose as to how a national team could have managed...

With the arrival of Maurizio Sarri, Atalanta's tactical philosophy has changed after a decade. The new coach's ambition is to build a strong and determined team. But there will be a lot of work to do to overcome the predictable initial difficulties. While awaiting the return of the players returning from the World Cup, Sarri is coaching 34 players, including a group of young players born in 2007, 2008, and 2009, four of whom he sees already fit to play in Serie A, while he awaits the return of the players returning from the World Cup. In his presentation press conference, alongside sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, the new…

I Tre Leoni ai piedi di Messi, Argentina in finale con una rimonta da favola

The Three Lions at Messi's feet, Argentina reach the final with a fairytale comeback

Tensions were running high between England and Argentina in Atlanta, with the final at stake. Throughout the first half, the pressure was on to push and attack across the pitch, rather than play. The nerves didn't subside, and the match remained deadlocked. But in the second half, everything happened, with England, after nearly capitulating to a run by Alvarez, stopped by goalkeeper Pickford, finding the winning opportunity with a goal after ten minutes through Gordon. And it was then that the Albiceleste responded, led by their number 10, while Tuchel's team dangerously dropped back...

DALLAS (USA) - With a goal in each half, Spain reached the World Cup final, 16 years after their only victory in the competition. La Roja literally dominated France, a team that lacked team spirit and a blunted attack. Mbappé and Dembelé were subdued and inaccurate, and the Spanish side closed down their spaces, creating a powerful display with Rodri, Fabian Ruiz, and Olmo forming a high midfield triangle. The Red Furies played a harmonious, elegant, and intense game, taking the lead midway through the first half on a…

Le quattro semifinaliste di Coppa del Mondo hanno già vinto almeno una volta il titolo

The four World Cup semi-finalists have already won the title at least once

The four semifinalists of the 23rd FIFA World Cup have already won the title at least once. England and Spain, champions in 1996 and 2010 respectively, are among them. Argentina, meanwhile, are aiming to retain their title after their success in Qatar in 2022 and add a fourth star to their jersey. France are dreaming of a third title, but will have to contend with La Roja. The match between England and Argentina evokes the one from sixty years ago, and even more so the 1986 match when Maradona scored with his hand and then scored one of the greatest goals in history.

Cottbus – The Junior and Under 23 European Track Championships concluded with the Italian team winning 27 medals, including 14 gold, 7 silver, and 6 bronze, and first place in the overall medal table. This extraordinary result ties the 2023 gold record but adds five more medals overall. Compared to the 2025 European Championships, the leap is even more significant: five more medals overall and five more golds. Approximately 701 TP3T athletes from the Italian squad made the podium (30 of the 42 athletes selected), and Italians were among the top performers in all disciplines.
