I'm not quite sure why the IOC is so hung up on the athlete quotas for the winter Olympics, they never got as out of hand as the summer games did. But they are. Not quite sure what the political machinations are, maybe NC is just the black sheep of FIS for some reason, but they've been on the chopping block for a long time now, and haven't seemed to take the warnings and act on them. Money wise, there is no reason to boot it, they make use of other required facilities and don't really crimp their scheduling. -

Well, I think only 20 actually dress for games(12 forwards, 6 defense, and 2 goalies), the rest are really more alternates (and could probably get rid of the 4th line and shorten the benches to 17 if you really had to). There are reasons... but I do enjoy people hating on hockey in general, so please carry on -
Thank you! And I wish win your medals at these Games and continue medal streak! For us even one medal will mark the Games as successfull. -

Yep, that was really unfortunate, but well, such things happens. Anyway this amount of lugers is really impressive. Congrats and good luck at the Games -
Yeah, Qualifying a team for the summer olympics is completely out of the question. Not going to happen for a long time. In Sydney 2000 we had 3 teams W Basketball, M Football & M Water Polo, it was already insane and this was even in a totally different era. Nowadays it is just Utopian. We have none to be at a high level in Europe to aspire for a qualification to the Olympics. W Handball is really the most obvious chance in a long shot. The U17 girls showed last summer that it is possible, who knows maybe in Brisbane if the planets allign well. Paris 2024 was a nightmare I do not want to remember. The worst games I experienced in my life. point.

Khm, do we know the fate of the license in pairs? I did not see confirmation of their entry. If they fail must get full license (team + individual) and one more place for team event will be available, am I correct?

Honestly, we did not expect more than 8. 2 additional places happened just becaues your double could not grab it due to the injury(?).

Vivat Slovakia But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance. We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years. And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
