Biathlon at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

[hckošice 14,835]

W Team for Beijing

Our coaches already announced the 4 names they will present to the NOC general assembly to represent Slovakia at the upcoming WOG in Beijing

 

Paulína Fialková

Ivona Fialková

Veronika Machyniaková

Henrieta Horvátová

 

From the Team in Ruhpolding only the Fialková sisters will go to Beijing.

 

Mária Remeňová actually arguably the 3rd best Slovak girl on the circuit sadly was removed from the Olympic team, she is not vaccinated and our NOC will send to the olympics only Vaccinated athletes

 

Júlia Machyniaková decided to rather aim for the Juniors WCH, a good result from there would bring her a full professional contract with the Military Sport club in Slovakia. So she left her Olympic spot to her sister Veronika.

The IBU updated the qualify points list today after the last eligible race, is there any chance that there could still be any changes?

How likely is  to decline its quota? If so, would again be the first reserve for another event!!

[Monzanator 4,503]

gets 4 women + 1 man (wild card for Grzegorz Guzik since our federation said he will be the chosen one).

I would say quite likely. Generally, NZ are tight with their budgetting.  Don’t know if they are in the habit of sending young hopefuls just for the experience.

If I am reading this correctly, New Zealand's Campbell Wright has 44.94 IBU Qualifying Points which satisfies the NOC's requirement of getting < 140 IBU Qualifying Points

 

Edit: It looks like the federation can override the nomination if they don't feel Wright can establish a top 16 result. His best performance among eligible events was 25th, but if he can argue that he is still competitive he could still be selected

and the Mens team is

 

Michal Šíma

Šimon Bartko

Tomáš Sklenárik

Matej Baloga

 

Today was apart of the final battle for the 4 quotas at the same time also an internal battle between Baloga and Tomáš Hasilla for the last spot in Beijing.

Both started for this reason in the relay in 2nd leg (Hasilla) and 3rd leg (Baloga) and despite Hasilla was overall 25 seconds faster on the track Baloga beat him in the internal qualifier thanks of his today completely unusual super fast and excellent shooting 0+0 and fast shooting against 0+3 and slow shooting for Hasilla

 

So

Sklenárik and Baloga will experience their Olympic debut in Beijing, Šíma and Bartko competed already in PC 2018

 

Among women Paulína fialková will be at her 3rd Olympics (2014 & 2018) Ivona Fialková second Olympics (2018) Horvátová and V. Machyniaková (Debut)

In addition to Öberg, Öberg, Magnusson and Persson, sweden completes the olympic womens team with Brorsson and Nilsson.

 

Nilssons best friend Skottheim probably disapointed that she was a reason To Nilssons change of sport
