THE UGLY OF DIRECT

E 'occurred. Inevitable delays as the Red Arrow. Cartesian quite sure how the next attack on Berlusconi Taliban robes whose existence most certain proceeds from the inevitable cogito dell'arcoretano paranoid. However am still not believe it. When you say the optimism of the will ...

So yesterday night around 19 I was waiting at the 42-inch plasma HD ready, full-featured 4x4 with automatic locking differential. Foretaste hour cross-country skiing at the highest level: the final race of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. And who knows, even a medal to the Azzurri. In fact, the first images explained Di Centa and Pillercottrer who were there with the best. My Adelscott was almost over but I do not even notice, such was the tension with which I enjoyed even the strict geometries of speech drawn from the thin white granite slopes of Whistler Olympic Park .

Brava Rai, I exclaimed to myself, from time to time. In spite of increasingly overwhelming thrust in the direction of satellite TV, Pay TV and the slow advance of digital TV, Rai is in someone who is equally concerned about regions such as Lombardy, the DGT-TV are still waiting.

short, the 50 km classical technique and continued blues, all except the unfading Di Centa, were lost along the track. Classical technique. There are still those who, in the upper echelons Olympic and not only there, consider positive forced the survival of a way to practice cross country now devoid of any technical reason, it's athletic or historic. Imposing in major competitions such as the use of Olympic style runs as the alternating step up and push to replace the skating, as it would impose in the high jump bypassing the ventral. Or, in the field of cycling, the adoption of the brake rod. Okay. Back to

bomb. The 50 km starts at the end. Missing 3000 m (3 km, ie about 5 or 6 minutes to finish. E Di Centa, with some difficulty, it is still there with the leaders. The tension is skyrocketing. And the picture disappears from the screen and fade in a hot and seductive male voice announces that the footage from the final stages of the final race of the 2010 Vancouver stop here and move on Rai sports. But shit! Rai is sports on digital terrestrial television! What starts in Lombardy (if all goes well) in May. I (along with millions of viewers Lombard) can not wait, I do not have all that time, the race ends in 5 minutes! Holy shit! I can not get these cowards. They can, can, and how if they can. In fact, the plasma appears the large face of a bust of TG2 seraphically announcing the start of an edition of short news "... because of the direct from the Vancouver Winter Olympics" . I do not believe yet. Slots wild among Rai 1, 2 and 3. Zapping becomes frantic as they move along the minute. Now restart the air, I keep telling myself less convinced. It is not possible to end this way. E 'possible, you can indeed.

Edition "short" of TG2 lasts 13 minutes. Di Centa has disappeared forever in the icy waves of Whistler. The live broadcast of the race ended (on digital terrestrial television) for a long time. Resumed when the analogue Vancouver will do just talk led by two-dimensional presence of Ivana Vaccaro on 50 km and we refer to see the delayed arrival of a Di Centa exhausted and eleventh. We Lombard analog we arrived exhausted and the last. In fact we have not even finished the race. I would love to, but just then, left alone even for a few seconds, with the genius who decided on the analog broadcast cut to 5 minutes far from the end of 50 km. The beauty of direct? But of what? "servile Italy Hostel in pain ...." (Purgatorio, VI, 76-78)
