Rio de Janeiro. Cycling early in the morning, closing in hope of the women’s relay. Today, Wednesday, August 10, will be an Olympic day with so many shades of blue, starting with the individual time trial: our hopes are entrusted to Damiano Caruso, in a closed race with a match between the Belgian Doumoulin and the British Froome, the recent Tour de France winner. Last call, however, for the Italian women’s volleyball sextet: the challenge against the Netherlands is from inside or out. In fencing, on the contrary, we play one of our aces: Aldo Montano, the latest in a generation of saber fighting, chasing a gold in Athens. The competition will be tremendous, starting with the Russian Yakimenko, coached by former coach Stefano Wen. (9Colonne)
