Goodbye curling, we won't forget you.
We had to resign ourselves. The final thrilling run of the Italian Curling team ended before the medals. It's a shame, the bronze medal won by the Italian-Pale Blue team had given us hope. Because it was beautiful to see Constantini's icy determination and her teammate Mosaner's forced smile; a little more fighting between them and it was on the verge of coming to blows.
Yes, okay, the medal arrived but we all dug into their looks, into their complex relationship (“they were never friends,” he clarified) poisoned by the ill-advised comments of her mother (“Amos made too many mistakes”) confirming that the fundamental problem of Italian sport is the parents.
Bye bye curling, the social media memes of the housewife passionately scrubbing the mop while the pot travels across the wet parquet floor will forever remain in the collective memory.
