Obstacle course? My lord this is some bad shit. Guess the urban events are being sold as the new future. What a load of croc. Just kill this sport already. I have a feeling it will die within the next five years anyway. Rope swing? American Gladiators had more innovation 30 years ago than this shit.

First, every single one of our canoeing specialists had to change their discipline, European and World Champions had to forget about sprints and learn longer distances, jump into different boats, never having canoed in doubles or fours.

 

Then, this whole modern-pentathlon shake up in which we have a long and successful history.

 

It feels like this is a master plan to sabotage Lithuania, with many of our strategic sports under fire. 

 

I don't care about making Olympics more hip with the youth, I was young when I fell in love with the Olympics and I don't particularly feel that the event catered to me, because it didn't have to. Rollerskating, skateboarding, wall-climbing, golfing, breakdancing, 13yo gold medalists... it's just ughhh making this a joke for me.

 

Don't blink, they'll find a way to ruin Athletics, Rowing and Swimming for me too.

 

 

Welcome to the club

 

SVK Olympic strength (Rio 2016 :SVK medals)

 

4 Medals (2-2-0)

 

Gold:  Canoe Slalom C2 (the pride of Slovak sport and Olympics glory) ---------  Evaporated from the program and non-existing discipline anymore

Silver:  Canoe Sprint K4-1000m --------------- non-olympic anymore

Gold:   Race Walking 50km ............................. Non-existing anymore

 

Silver:   the only remaining is Canoe Slalom M C1 ...... waiting for extinction, because, you know, apparently you must build a venue for this since the river is not enough anymore

Ya but the IOC added the youthful, urban and gender equal sport of golf to increase :SVK's medal output.

We are at 10500 athletes now. I doubt there will be further cuts

Congratulations, you just cursed everyone.

 

They'll find a way to round it down to 10000 now :lol: 

 

Can't wait for Squid Game to become an Olympic sport in 2032

I can bet my house IOC never imagined they go help Slovakia with this move, until the boy from Bratislava came with his last round 11 birdies  :lol:

    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
    • The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.
