Speaking for myself, it is a bit daunting to think of nominations from nothing. Some kind of "long list" suggestion would be nice, but the work to come up with something like 30-50 options for each category would be quite onerous on the host/committee.
Before the last round only two teams are secured to play in round of 16: Liverpool and Barcelona
Already qualified at least at second round (playoff or R16):
Arsenal, Aston Villa, Atalanta, Atleti, Bayern, Brest, Celtic, Dortmund, Feyenoord, Inter, Juventus, Leverkusen, Lille, Milan, Monaco, Real Madrid
There are nine teams with an elimination confirmed:
Bologna, Crvena Zvezda, Girona, Leipzig, Salzburg, Slovan Bratislava, Sparta Praha, Sturm Graz, Young Boys
Last round next week
There were also a few other medal opportunities that ultimately didn't pan out for Bulgaria, but it was fun to see their athletes mixing it up for the medals
Recently, the Winter FISU Games seem to attract a mix of world cup athletes, top level junior athletes, athletes from nations without much winter sports tradition and a handful of olympians. It's an interesting mix.
