as far as i know, the list is not done per discipline but overall per fina points, that means you could have 10 invitation in one discipline and none in other. but i am not sure if it is like that

Great news that Maric is in. Finally some luck.

Loncarek and Muzaric are out. Ana Simic was disappointing, too. I was hoping she could have an outside chance for a medal at the Olympics, but it doesn't look good.

Our Basketball team would now have to beat Greece to reach the final (probably against Italy). Its not over yet but I don't think this team has it in them.

Calic is in the final. He won against the venezuelan guy 3-0. Now the final against Ecuador who was in the final in Baku

Go Marko :clap:

Marko Čalić lost in final so this big misery continues... So unfair that heavy categories in boxing have much fewer quotas.

 

And it looks like even Ana Radić might not make it in swimming, as there is still no news about that.

I am so sorry for Calic, i think in 2012 he was in final as well

 

And Radic, lets see, but does not look good. And this is really a mistake of the trainers, which said back in february she is safe based on 2012 results. Afterwards she did not really try to improve her results and was preparing for Rio.

 

And except basketball that is it with our team for Rio. Lets hope the basketball teams makes it!!!

 

At least two good news in swimming from the european junior championship. Nikola Obrovac is european champion in 50m breast (but again non-olympic discipline) and Karlo Noah Paut bronze in 100m freestyle with 49.64. This is fastest time in Croatia this year and I think also last year. The bronze medal is really a big achievment considering he is junior for two more years. He could become a big one, but is a long way from junior to senior.

Miracles indeed happen. Now we have 84 athletes. Incredible that even with this, that's still 26 less athletes comparing to London. :d But we do have more male athletes than in 2012. 66 now, 63 in 2012.

So our basketball team saved us from having the smallest Summer Olympics team since 1992 (In 2004 we had 81 competitors). Seems that I was wrong about them, didn't think they could make it. Great job.

 

That is indeed pretty much the end of our qualification hopes. Though I am still hoping for another Invitation in swimming, but I don't expect that to happen anymore. Ana Konjuh should still have a chance to slip into the tournament field, but I am not sure if she would be able to play after injuring her ankle in Wimbledon. Mulabegovic was our last hope for Athletics, but unfortunately he didn't make it.

So 4 years ago we had 4 teams, now 3, that's about 13/14 athletes. Where did we lose others?

    • 4 years today from the beginning of the full scale invasion. Almost 12 years of the war.   So many good people died due to the ill ambitions of putin and russian society
    • Hi everyone, with most of the sports' qualification documents released I did my own qualification simulation for all events including Tripartite places based on latest rankings followed by respective World Championships. For the simulation Russian and Belarusian athletes have been considered. Please note Swimming quotas are based on 2025 results. Even though Athletics qualification hasn't been released I assumed it to be same as 2024. Universality places for Athletics and Swimming are indicative only to ensure 1 athlete per gender qualify in the sport. Here is the sheet.  
    • And time to start discussing the Paralympic Broadcast Coverage.   Here in  it is Channel 4 as ever.  The live shows in the morning tend to be rather more blethering and soap opera than actual action.   ParalympicsGB | How to watch the milano cortina 2026 winter paralympics   But the YouTube Channel has all the actual sport.  This is not usually geoblocked.   Channel 4 Sport - YouTube   And I suppose for countries which do not have their own channels covering it, you can watch on Eurovision Sport.   Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games | Eurovision Sport

    • After the Dutch team won 23 out of a possible 32 Speed skating medals in 2014, some changes were made. In the 500, 1000 and 1500 metres the maximum number of skaters per country was reduced from 4 to 3, and in the 10 km from 3 to 2. Also the quotum was lowered from 10 to 9.   In the past the maximum number of swimmers per event per country was 3. This led on too many occasions to countries sweeping the podium.
    • Good point! I had totally forgot about that. And back in 2022 we still had national threads instead of clubs, so we have surely had a huge increase of replies in club's threads comparing to the old national threads (and the Canadian club was the most active one by far).   Nice to see the forum is in a good shape and let's now focus on summer sports with the LA28 qualifications starting very soon 
    • @Finnator123 Therefore, for my own sanity, I'm pretending we beat you guys on Saturday. 
    • So, time for a recap! Hopefully there's still someone in this thread.   First of all, these Olympics were spectacular from the very beginning. Ever since the opening ceremony kicked things off, I felt something big was happening. Such a global event and a celebration of sports couldn't have been set in a better location this year. It's great to have the winter edition in Europe once again. Wonderful sceneries and great venues just fueled the atmosphere. I really enjoyed switching from one event to another, admiring the landscapes, just like every other Olympics.   The mascots were amazing. They're so adorable. I'm not really an avid collector of Olympic memorabilia, but I feel like I have to get my hands on one of these plushies. Not saying the last mascot was bad, but these stoats are perfect in every sense. The opening sequence rocks, the tune has been stuck in my head for days, it's really catchy. It gives off this dramatic vibe while still keeping a classy coating.   Interesting medal table this year! Norway showed up once again. Honestly, Klæbo, you're mad. I'm pretty sure the guy would place in the top ten of the leaderboard if he competed by himself, absolute legend. Both the United States and France recorded their best ever campaigns, very impressive. Some other countries locked in as well, unfortunately, some did not.   That brings me to a more subjective review.     What do we have here? It's not really pleasant to look at, but that's something we all expected. The last Summer Olympics were supposed to be successful, we had plenty of medal hopes before the start. That one was a disappointing campaign. This time, it wasn't that surprising.   Just as expected, not a lot to be cheerful about. However, I always try to pick something positive. Even these Olympics brought us some successful and memorable stories. There's definitely stuff to go through:   Alpine skiing: This is one of the memorable stories. Petra's comeback is already a victory on its own. It's even more symbolic when you realise the slopes of the Italian Alps marked her return to competitive skiing. Not a disappointing finish from her at all, she even improved her result in the second slalom run. Biathlon: Now this is the sport I'm closely following during the entire year. Well, to say it was disappointing is an understatement. No individual finish in the top twenty is a disaster. No matter how we look at it, it's a failure, especially after all the promising things we've heard during the last few races, building up to the main part of the season. I'm not saying I expected medals, but the results are horrific from every angle. Paula not being able to shoot with less than three misses just sums up the hopelessness of Slovak biathlon in Antholz this year. The women's relay also didn't live up to the expectations. Disappointing. Figure skating: Adam Hagara is the first male competitor to reach the final round since Nagano. Very impressive. Despite not improving afterwards, it's a great debut for him. His time will definitely come, it will be interesting to watch him skate in four years from now. Ice hockey: Now this is where it gets interesting. Again, there wasn't much to expect from us at the Olympics this year compared to the past, but I definitely did not expect hockey to be our best shot at a medal. And what a ride it was! No matter how easy our path to the semifinal was compared to other teams, we rightfully earned it down to the last detail. Damn, winning a group with Sweden and Finland at the best tournament in twelve years feels like a dream. Absolutely surreal. If only we could change the outcome of the last weekend, it was disappointing, although definitely not as painful as Vancouver was, @hckošice definitely remembers that one better than me. In all seriousness, I'm glad we didn't disappoint, fourth place is a pleasant shock, something no one in Slovakia or outside the country predicted to happen. I suppose we know how to move the puck, we don't suck as much as we used to. Ski jumping: This is what I'm looking forward to. I know pretty much nothing about this sport outside of the basics, but Hektor Kapustík looks so promising. He's already reached several milestones of Slovak ski jumping in the last couple of months. I'm very excited to see what the future brings, he's definitely got the potential. I can picture myself watching him being a serious medal contender in a few years, the kid has wings. Ski mountaineering: I don't know, this whole sport was very anti-climatic. Not sure if it's because of the events happening almost at the end, the execution being pretty disappointing, or our athletes being unlucky, that's a Slovak classic. Just as I thought, we could have had a serious medal contender in the women's event if it wasn't for snow getting in the way. Stuff happens.   Other sports didn't really stand out.   There should be a big warning sign coming out of these Olympics for Slovakia. The brightest of our hopes did not come from a working state-sponsored system of support. They had to rely on their families and self-sacrifice plenty of times. There's not much support for young talents, nepotism and corruption are prioritised instead. I know that's something happening not only in Slovakia. Many countries suffer because of this, but it's still not something to be proud of.   To end with something more positive, our hockey future is so bright and I'm really excited to watch these young guys improving as time goes by. We've had the youngest squad on average, many of those players are eligible for multiple Olympic tournaments, including the World Championships we're hosting in three years. If these players are already the core of the team in their early twenties, we can only imagine how much glory they can bring in a few years. Finally, it looks like Slovak hockey is not getting worse. Let's keep it that way.
