Italy’s adventure in the men’s curling tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing begins with a defeat. The Blues lost to Great Britain 7-5 on their debut on the ice at the National Aquatics Centre in the Chinese capital. Our national team showed up baldanzosa at the appointment against the European champions and vice world champions, traveling on the wings of enthusiasm after the epochal triumph of Amos Mosaner and Stefania Constantini in the mixed doubles tournament. Unfortunately, the debut was not the best, but the competition is still very long and Italy has all the credentials to make its way: we had presented ourselves with the aim of qualifying for the semifinals, nothing is compromised after the knockout against one of the great favorites for the conquest of the five-circle title.

Italy’s adventure in the men’s curling tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing begins with a defeat. The Blues lost to Great Britain 7-5 on their debut on the ice at the National Aquatics Centre in the Chinese capital.
09.46-ENDS 7-5 FOR GREAT BRITAIN!
Mouat’s perfect stone closes the match. Ours tried, but the British were superior. Tomorrow there is an opportunity to make a comeback against Sweden. It is played at 02.05 Italian.
09.30-Italy keep the match open: 6-5
Ninth end won by the Blues, but the game is practically scored. Great Britain will have the hammer to finally close the match in the last end.
09.12-stolen hand! 6-4 for Great Britain
Mouat plays a curling that does not exist on planet Earth. It’s really awesome. Italy trudges, tries to defend themselves with the stones of the usual Retornaz, but loses his hand. Not even Mosaner can hack. The impression is that they took us off track with their game. Ninth end coming.
08.57-Great Britain ahead 5-4
Amazing End. Incredible. Mouat is Heavenly. Cancel a Retornaz magic (which we will show you on video) and give two points to his companions. The British are playing really well. Their level seems higher than ours.
Magic of Ret
08.39-a point for US: Italy ahead 4-3
That’s good for Italy. Especially since Mouat is playing spatially. Hardie also stepped up in tone. You need something more to win this game. Sebastiano Arman must do better.
08.24 – let’s start again!
Sixth end. Perfect tie after five rounds: 3-3.
08.19-mid-match situation: 3-3
Hand nothing. Neither team takes home the point. Great Britain Square in bursts and Italy is solid with the failures. Particularly spectacular the last shot with a spizzicata of Retornaz that takes away the stone of the British. Now small break and then sixth end.
08.05-Draw Great Britain, 3-3
Chess game on the ice of the e cub Lammie is completely wrong. We protect the center, they keep failing. Then Mouat draws two perfect stones and, just like Retornaz in the first end, you take two points. The fifth end soon.
07.49-holds the hand Italy, 3-1
Dirty End. Tasteless. First, Italy is wrong with the failures. Then Great Britain is wrong with the positions. In the final a caress of Ret It continues in a fairly linear manner. Fourth end soon.
07.35-Point Great Britain, 2-1
He holds the hand of the British quartet (although they are all Scottish). But Italy plays well. Great defensive end with Placed and failed. Mosaner very solid, Retornaz in management. Hardie seems to be the weak point of our opponents; Lammie instead is unleashed.
07.21 – WHAT A DEPARTURE ITALY! 2-0!
Two perfect stones of Ret End all in all played well by the British, but the last shot of our skip brings two points to the Italian quartet. Solid Mosaner with brushed.
