Italian team

[gio]

My big thanks to Carolina Kostner, Valentina Marchei, Karel Zelenka, Federica Faiella and Massimo Scali, Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte, Laura Magitteri and Ondrej Hotarek.
Thanks for the great emotions and results. You skated beautiful programs. I'm proud of you all! Great results for Italy. :agree:

The Italian Skating Team ROCKS!

Everyone placed in the top 10, some on debut, and great courage shown by Massimo in the FD after such a shocking accident.

Go Italia! Obviously the funding put in place for Torino 06 is paying off now.

Valentina was great in the Gala too! :agree:

Carolina...no words can explain how happy was I, like I won the gold, not her
Seriously, well done Italians. Valentina improved a lot also, though I admit I don't like her skating very much. But she skated brilliantly. The 2nd dance couple looks very nice. But for Massimo and Fede...well they shouldn't do that lift if they were unsure. Oh and Karel did a great job too.

But Caro.... still can't believe it.
