I think you've been a bit optimistic...

 

this is your regular Downhill World Cup tracks lenght and drop:

 

Lake Louise (W), 3087m (827m drop)
Beaver Creek (M), 2653m (753m drop)
Val Gardena (M), 2514m (600m drop)

Cortina (W), 2660m (760m drop)
Kitzbuehel (M), 3312m (860m drop)


this year's World Champs tracks:
Courchevel/Meribel (W), 2307m (700m drop)
Courchevel/Meribel (M), 3100m (945m drop)

Hey, I never claimed that it is a regular DH track meeting strict international criteria. I just answered the question about Downhill pistes in Slovakia, Lomnické Sedlo is the longest and hardest of what we have here, obviously for a "hypothetic" Olympics, we would need to build another one.

We apparently can build a Downhill track in Chopok-Jasná. https://www.aktuality.sk/clanok/SuOuHhr/poliaci-oprasuju-myslienku-zimnych-olympijskych-hier-v-tatrach-potrebuju-aj-slovensko/

 

that was the reason why the Poles turned to us for a co-bid before and are supposedly considering it now again, Zakopane doesn´t have such a slope necessary for Downhil piste, we do. Chopok is near Jasná, where different races and time to time also the World Cup are held, and in the case of financial assistance, we are willing to build a track there even for a downhill that meets the strictest FIS and IOC criteria.
 
But we would want Ice Hockey too, take it or not. This the red line :p

Half of hockey matches in Kraków , half of them in Poprad. Do you agree?

 

we can add slopestyle for you as well if you wish 😛

The major issue is that current IOC charter does not allow a co-host of Olympics, only and only if the host country does not have the natural resource for hosting an event (in this case it is the Alpine Skiing competitions thanks to Downhill - so this is the only chance we can help you with hosting) the only possibility to host also Hockey would require a change of the IOC charter, that would require a strong lobbying to push IOC to change this article.

 

Only In this case we would be willing to go to this hell with you once again :p so the ball is on your side. convince a certain 1976 Fencing Gold Medalist to change the charter and we will be with you at 100 percent :d

Anyway, please tell us when you notice that Slovak press will start to write on this topic

 

i think here a lot depends on how European Games will go this year in Kraków 

 

and honestly, i would like to see nordic skiing WCH in Zakopane first. I sincerely believe we could organize WCH here and it would be a success

it s about planning, preparing, lobbying, bidding, building, traveling, shaking hands, spending money, spending awfully lots of money, 

 

not about hosting at all

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
