4F provides the clothing for Slovakian team? Expanding beyond borders!

 

4F is a Polish brand so it's not like they had far to travel to Slovakia...

Since Koukalova has retired, I might well cheer for Fialkova now

 

Paulína is very happy and send you many thanks greetings

Will she even start? Fourcade won't start tomorrow according to Polish ES.

 

Hope so, with some good shooting (1 or 2 misses tops), I think she'd gain a lot of places. But then again, day after is mass start, might be wiser to rest like Fourcade apparently does.

Well, I always had Wierer, Makarainen and Koukalova on my podium so there's a free spot available now

So, is Fialkova now a #1 media sports star in Slovakia? Outside of her and Vlhova I can't think of anyone else suitable (unless there's some slalom canoe prodigy I'm not aware of ).  Can't think of many Slovakian women doing well in sports these days. Last I remember was Martina Moravcova

Anaïs

Still a good result though, she was fast today  I shouldn't but I'm hoping for a great result in the pursuit for her like last time in Nove Mesto

Do you remember Veronika Zuzulová ? + Danka Barteková had still somehow quite pretty nice amount of media attentions but yep, right now all the sports serious sites just as well as in the tabloids it´s mainly about Vlhová and Paja + hockey stars (you know, all the 24/h important informations like what they eat for breakfast, with whom they sleep etc..)

 

wow, you really remember Moravcová ?

[Monzanator 4,499]

It turns out for the first time in her career Zbylut didn't shoot from left to right (on coach Belova's advice) but right to left. And bang, 10/10.

 

It seems like Belova's return to Poland could spark the same wave which once elevated Nowakowska and Guzik from scrubs into random contenders in the mid/late 00s.

Yeah, I remember Zuzulova duh, but she always injured when it mattered the most tbh. She could have achieved a lot more. Guess Vlhova will cloud her status very soon.

 

Of course I remember Moravcova. I followed swimming since the days of Egerszegi & van Almsick and only lost interest after the space suits made the competition a joke in 2009. Don't follow much swimming since then if at all.

 

Had to googe Bartekova, yeah, I don't follow that sport at all so I had no idea who she is
