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.

Because in Poland there is none 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 Edited January 28, 2023 by hckošice rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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 Edited January 28, 2023 by hckošice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
