Yep, right.

 

After more than a 11 hours meeting held in the Slovak Olympic Comittee headquarters, both sisters finally signed the new deal around 21:30 yesterday. The national federation decided to accept some requests of both sisters, they in response accepted also some points of the national federation..that´s what I call making compromises...but, why it had to arrive untill this ?..

 

btw the greatest merit that, this negotiation about the new formuled contract has even been possible, go to the minister of defense and the Minister of Education, Sciences and Sports, both present there yesterday as well, just like some mediators from our NOC.

 

So, they will both compete already in Pokljuka´s Mixed relay as Slovak females legs.

Good thing the federation registered them, just in case

@hckosice We would definitely be happy for Fialkova sisters to come in our country. Another friendly cooperation     Our women biathlon is near extinction. (on major level)

Question for @heywoodu: If our former XC skier Lea Einfalt got 142,82 IBU points on Thursday in Idre, is that enough to put her in the team for World Cup in Pokljuka?

 

Problem is, among women, there are currently only two eligible athletes to compete in World Cup (Urška Poje, Polona Klemenčič), therefore we need another one to be represented on both Sunday mixed races.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe what athletes need is one result under 125 points or an average of under 150 points on the (invisible) IBU ranking.
