World Cup, statements

The Italian sprinters spoke after brilliantly qualifying for the World Championships in Budapest.

Roberto Rigali: “After coming out of the blocks with the best reaction time of the battery, halfway through the corner I lost a foothold. Then I closed my eyes, pushed hard and the change with Jacobs è came out well”. Marcell Jacobs: “Happy with how I raced, as I race I find more and more feeling. Today there’s a completely different energy: it’s not an individual race, it’s the whole of Italy running together with us and we give 200 percent. We are at a World Cup and to be able to find the form right here’s what counts. Really happy to share this with them and when saw I Filippo cross the finish line, I è got goosebumps from the’emotion”. Lorenzo Patta: “I was coming from injury and I was somber today, basically I didn’t speak all day. This è the chrono that represents our value, not a time around 38.30 as in the first part of the season, and I am happy that it came at the right time”. Filippo Tortu: “We are brothers, a family. When I go into the field knowing that I am running for them too, I can do something more;. This è what I was worth, in the 200 I could not bring it out. It was the first time I started with two endorsements and not three. In the last 50 meters I was feeling a few pains, I held a little bit, but when I saw I was in front I almost preferred to manage. I did not notice the South African Simbine but è a result that we need to arrive more conscious tomorrow”.

Zaynab Dosso: “C’è it was a false start, but it didn’t bother me that much. Each of us wanted this, driven by the synergy of the group, and we could not go slow after the men” chrono. Dalia Kaddari: “Today è another day, after yesterday’s race in the 200 meters. The relay dà more energy, I am so happy”. Anna Bongiorni: “On the eve we had mentioned that we dream big, now we focus on doing better tomorrow. We can’t wait, we want to improve this time and for example, as for me, if I run like in the European final last year in Munich I can improve”. Alessia Pavese: “I have to realize what I did, but this è a track that pushes like crazy. When I took the baton and saw that we were third, I didn’t understand anymore and I gave everything. I am so charged up, I feel like a spring”.

The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up

This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.

The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.

Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia

So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.

Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).

Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.

As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren

The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.

“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.

The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.

Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
