Did the Brixia Four leave Brixia?? Where on earth have I been??!

No, Brixia made a special Olympic training group called Fiamme Oro (GOLD FLAMES lmao) because of COURSE they did. It looks like it’s the Four plus Martina Maggio.

Here’s some other info on Fiamme Oro (looks like Desy is in it too): https://www.oasport.it/2019/12/ginnastica-artistica-le-fate-entrano-nelle-fiamme-oro-litalia-bronzo-ai-mondiali-ottiene-il-riconoscimento/
Looks like it’s considered “the sports group of the State Police”…whatever that means.

Awesome – thanks! Italy has weird things with their higher-level athletes getting salaries when they’re tied into the army or police or whatever so it’s probably related to that? I remember Vanessa and Carlotta would have to go to random army trainings once a year or something, so the girls are probably getting a weird police salary for being part of this special training squad or something along those lines. That’s awesome that Desy is also in it!

Fiamme oro is not a special olympic group made by Brixia! Fiamme Oro belongs to the police. In Italy, the major athlets in “amateur” sports are given the chance to support theirself joining the army, every army has his own “gruppo sportivo”. just the best athlets can join these groups for sporting merits. basically in italy, beside football player and tennisers, all top athlets are in these groups. the Brixia girls still practise in Brescia in their gym, as Desire’ Carofiglio still practise in Milano, but when they compete they rappresent the army where they belong to

This is the first time I’ve seen the Brixia Four girls doing it and when I asked someone in Italy, they said it was their special group for Brixia, but then I later saw an article that it was actually the police/army group (it’s linked to below in the comments here). I remember Vanessa and Carlotta and others being part of it before but completely forgot about it.

@Lauren, it’s the first time you’ve seen that because they joined Fiamme Oro recently, don’t know if before or after the last Serie A competiotion, but it doesn’t matter, because Serie A is a team competition and Fiamme Oro doesn’t have a real team to compete, so it “lends” the Athlets to the originary gym where they come from.
The last event, the “Assoluti”, on the contrary, is an individual competition so the Girls represent fiamme oro…I understand it’s a wierd thing for who didn’t grow up in italy, hope it’s been useful
LikeLike
Thanks! Yes, very useful…and yes, at the last Serie A meet they were still competing with Brixia, so when I saw they were with the Fiamme Oro team here I was like, wait, what? Hahaha. I asked my friend what was going on and that’s when she said she thought it was a special Brixia group. I think because it was only the Brixia girls at the Assoluti event (since Desy wasn’t there) she just assumed it was Brixia girls only, but yes this all makes sense now!

Martina Maggio is looking pretty solid for the 4th member. Elisa Iorio is not necessarily a lock IMO.
LikeLike
Now that Martina is healthy and Elisa has a serious injury, yeah, Martina is in a better place than Elisa in terms of making the team, but I think it’ll put Alice more at risk than anything else. Elisa is more of a ‘favorite’ in Casella’s eyes, and if anyone is on the bubble for him, it’s Alice. He’s pushed her aside a lot, especially in favor of Elisa. I think Martina showed that she can be taken more seriously on bars here, so if he has Giorgia, Elisa, Martina, and Alice to choose between as bars gymnasts, I’m afraid Alice might be the odd woman out.
LikeLike
In my opinion Casella doesn’t have a favourite. Few years ago, Alice was behind because of the big injure she had, but now that she is healthy, i don’t think Casella is gonna renounce to her contribution.
nobody right now has a better dty of hers, not even her sister, her bars are stunning and she added a half turn to her dismount.
Since they are senior I don’t think Elisa never had a better bars score then Alice in international events and Elisa floor routine lacks of power and consistency, while Alice has added a lot of new difficulities.
Beam is for sure Alice’s weakest point, but Elisa hasn’t got always consistency and Martina, as we know, is a really good beam worker (no bad her floor routine as well!!!) so she looks perfect to complete this group.
LikeLike
Yeah, all true, I just worry about Alice sometimes, especially with how much they tend to overscore Elisa at home (and then her scores at worlds last year were nowhere near her home scores). I think Alice has continued to prove herself internationally over and over again as the stronger of the two, but then Elisa has continued to be more in favor which to me doesn’t make sense at all. I think Alice’s success at Euros was a turning point for her and hope it stays that way but I still worry about her not being taken as seriously as the others for whatever reason.
LikeLike
agree with you about the overscoring, I’d add Elisa looks really insecure in international event and since she grew up she lost her beautiful lightness without gaining strength.
Alice litterally bloomed specially after her eurpean medal (I was so happy for her!) and I think she has still room to emprove! I’m sure Casella will bring her..(finger crossed)
LikeLike
Yeah, I love Alice and was crying for joy when she won her Euros medal! She’s very talented and I really want her on the team, but she’s just the one I have always been afraid for the most. I do personally agree and think that Elisa is the biggest risk, but I am always afraid that Casella just loves her so much, so I’m still nervous about it. Really really hoping for Alice, though!
