#TeamSlovensko for Stage 5 in Oberhof (Sprints, Mixed Relay, Single Mixed Relay and Pursuits)

 

In the internal Slovak qualifier yesterday during the measured training in Osrblie Mária Remeňová beat Henrieta Horvátová for the third spot in Oberhof and will accompany the Paulína and Ivona Fialková sisters nominated by default and spend the holidays in training camp in Pokljuka.

 

The Men roster will also remain unchanged with Michal Šima, Šimon Bartko and Matej Baloga

 

The teams for the Mixed Relay and the Single Mixed Relay will be specified later on place in Oberhof. Especially the SMR is extremely important since we have veeeery bad points in the Olympic qualifier from this event and we need a good amount of points from this like extreme necessity

Tiril Eckhoff  is sick and will miss Oberhof, but therefore will be racing in Ruhpolding.

Things are still not looking good for us in Oberhof. Tomorrow there should be a cold snap with snow. We hope that the team will manage to prepare everything tomorrow. Thursday there has to be a training before the sprint races. If not, In the worst case the mixed relays have to be cancelled.

Hopefully Oberhof won't organize any World Championships in a near future

I thought we would finally have a perfect snow season in winter sports, since December was a joy, but nah..

The only way that happens is if either Austria, France of Czech Republic put up stupid money for advertising.  Outside of that, Germany keeps both weeks.

In a way, the introduction of Decathlon as a sponsor marks a French investment 

Concerning Austria, Hochfilzen is already a German venue, as is Antholz btw.
