Poor poor Slovakia but lol in 1994 the pool C teams was Slovakia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and only 1 year before 1993 also Latvia you can immagine the feelings of all other countries to suddenly got all this bunch of opponents in their divisions Anyway at least there was a great lobby work from our president and ice hockey federation + old stars which worked very hard and succesfully got the invitation for us to play the Lillehammer qualification (which we thankfully won) and organize the C pool WCh at home (which we won) and next year again to organize the B pool WCh (which we won) again at Home and in the minimum possible time of 2 years advanced to the top dividons in all mens categories. ahjfcshfghb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazakhstan does have some strong teams here....for example their women's biathlon team is simply their full-on World Cup relay squad Nearly the same for the men and in speed skating they have world class sprinters like Roman Krech and Yekaterina Aydova. hckošice 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
