Career

Short track career

A specialist in the shorter distances, Carnino was long a dependable member of the Italian short track speed skating relay team. At the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Carnino, as an 18-year-old, was a member of the Italian relay team which won the gold medal in the 5000 metre relay competition along with Orazio Fagone, Hugo Herrnhof and Mirko Vuillermin.

Four years later Carnino competed in the 1998 Winter Olympics where he finished fourth in the 5000 metre relay and 15th in the 500 metres.

At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Canino was part of the Italian relay team along with Nicola Franceschina, Nicola Rodigari, Fabio Carta and Michele Antonioli, and the team won the silver medal in the 5000 metre relay competition. Carnino was the only skater from 1994 still on the team.

Long track career

With the 2006 Winter Olympics being held in his native Turin, Carnino decided to switch to long track speed skating. He placed second at the 2005 and 2006 national sprint speed skating championships, and qualified for the Olympics, where he finished 30th in the 1000 metres and 31st in the 500 metres.

Short-track speed skating is a form of competitive ice speed skating. In competitions, multiple skaters skate on an oval ice track with a length of 111.111 metres (364.54 ft). The rink itself is 60 metres (196.85 ft) long by 30 metres (98.43 ft) wide, which is the same size as an Olympic-sized figure skating rink and an international-sized ice hockey rink. Related sports include long-track speed skating and inline speed skating.

The 1994 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XVII Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Lillehammer '94, were an international winter multi-sport event held from 12 to 27 February 1994 in and around Lillehammer, Norway. Having lost the bid for the 1992 Winter Olympics to Albertville in France, Lillehammer was awarded the 1994 Winter Games on 15 September 1988, two days before the 1988 Summer Olympics opening ceremonies at the 94th IOC Session in Seoul, South Korea. Due to the calendar changes made in 1985, this was the only time that the Winter Olympics took place two years after the previous Winter Games, and the first to be held in a different year from the Summer Olympics. This was the second Olympic Games of any type hosted in Norway — the first being the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo — and the fourth Olympics overall to be held in a Nordic country, after the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden, and the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. Lillehammer is the northernmost city ever to host the Olympic Games.
