TESERO (ITALPRESS) – Twenty years after the historic gold of the 2006 Turin Games, Italy returns to the podium in the male relay of cross-country skiing. The blue Davide Graz, Elia Barp, Martino Carollo and Federico Pellegrino conquered the bronze in 4×7,5 km, winning the duel with Finland. The launch of the race by Graz, which also carries out a few meters in the head, changing with Barp in the zone-podium: the latter has a moment of crisis uphill, but he can recover and leave the witness in 3rd position. Crisis instead halfway to Martino Carollo, with Italy sliding in fourth position to twenty-one seconds from the top-3 and the medals that seem to fade, before the magic of the flag holder Federico Pellegrino: reconnect and surprise to Finland, is bronze. The gold goes to the dominant Norway, which triumphs at 1:04:24.5 and gives the historical ninth gold to Klaebo, silver to France (+22.2). Italy third, with a detachment of 47.9 seconds: rise to 19 blue medals in the Games of Milan-Cortina 2026.
