You use a Slovakian keyboard when you type, don’t you? I can tell because our apostrophes are different.

well, it´s named "Dĺžeň" , quick challenge ! try to pronnounceit .

 

we don´t have such things like apostrophes in our alphabet. so we have to use this "dĺžeň" thing sort of acute accent.  Sure, I can switch to english keyboard but then I´ll have issues to find some leeters of our alphabet like ( ľ, š, č, ť, ž, ý, á, í, é, ú ) we use almost in every word

 

No, never haha, but it looks nice

Mikkel Bodker the Ottawa Senators forward is the 1st and sole NHLer for :DEN already confirmed. One of the best world goaltenders Frederik Andersen will not play in Slovakia because of injury

 

Denmark will have also 1 AHL player in the team Mathias Bau of the Hershey Bears and 1 from the junior WHL Joachim Blichtfeld from the Portland Winterhawks.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In other hand, :FRA will probably have to play at the worlds without any NHLer this time.

 

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare the Vegas Golden Knights forward had to refuse the inviation because of injury, the same for the Vancouver Canucks "bad boy" Antoine Roussel or other guys with NA experiences Yohan Auvitu and Floran Douay.

 

Also one of the best french playmaker Stephane Da Costa from the KHL Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg refused the invitation.

 

Anyway Les Bleus have still chance for a strong NHL reinforcement, the super talented new french hockey "wonder boy" Alexandre Texier is still playing for Columbus Blue Jackets in the play-offs 2nd round (currently 0-1 down in their series against Boston)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
