@hckosice Are you gonna visit a match, you think? :)

I'm trying to win the award for most obvious question of the year.

 

 

Strong rumors going that Slovakia will play all Preliminary Round matches in Košice :d because last time in 2011 they played in Bratislava, this time they want change it and bring the NT to the east part of the country. https://sport.sme.sk/c/20825220/slovensko-by-na-ms-v-hokeji-2019-malo-hrat-v-kosiciach.html

 

After the quarterfinals it looks like we will have RUS, SWE ?, CZE, GER ?, LAT, SVK, AUT and ITA  in the group Košice

and CAN, FIN, USA ?, SUI ?, NOR, DEN, FRA, GBR in the group Bratislava

but other rumors are saying that Austria will be seeded to Bratislava (so 80km from Vienna) and replaced by FRA in Košice. Pretty sure the same will happen with the Czech team, in this case it will be replaced by USA in Košice...but lets wait, everything will be official after the current tournament and we still have to wait for the final rankings of the 4 semifinalists here to know the real seedings of SWE, USA, SUI, GER

And it´s Official !!!!

 

Slovakia will play all preliminary round matches in KOŠICE !!!!  can you even believe it ? I can not even describe the feeling when I heard the official news in the radio. Wow I feel like a kid that everyone forgets in a pastry shop the whole night or so  :d this is really something that can happen only once in a life

 

https://www.new-iihf.com/en/events/2018/wm/news/3359/groups-for-2019

 

Spoiler

Originally Slovakia had to play with RUS, SWE, CZE, SUI, LAT, AUT and ITA, in Bratislava was scheduled the group B with CAN, FIN, USA, GER, NOR, DEN, FRA and GBR

 

but the organizing committee has possibility to make some changes in order to protect it´s marketing interests, like put CZE and AUT to Bratislava near their border. there were two possible options and the organizing committee decided to swap SVK with NOR and just change the groups from Bratislava to Košice, so weĺl play CAN, FIN, USA, GER, DEN, FRA and GBR in Košice...

 

Anyway there still a slim problem, since apparently Canada is not happy with this decision and apparently already announced that they don´t want to play in Košice...

they could switch CAN and RUS and everybody would be happy, I guess...:d

 

p.s. for Italy these groups (RUS or CAN doesn't make any difference) are better than expected...having AUT and NOR in our group, gives us a more than slim chance to avoid relegation...honestly, those 2 teams are the only ones we can play with thinking that we can get a positive result against them...

 

p.p.s. I remember going to the Worlds here in Milan in 1994...it was an amazing and unforgettable experience...so, enjoy this opportunity as much as you can...;)

The only possible swap can be CAN for SWE, but I don´t see this realistic, They will certainly not have more fans than Sweden to put them in Bratislava

 

I was in 2011 at CAN-FRA game and it was something unbelievable, + I enjoyed every second of the tournament, I remember the French and Swiss fans making great atmosphere in the local pubs :d

 

But this will be even better with our National team. Hopefully I´ll grab some tickets. wow, I´m so excited :bounce:

      Summer Olympic Games 2036 Bid Process

      impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites

      https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)

      Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)

      Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.

      How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.

      FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22
