:SVK Martin Bajcicak has been announced as the new head coach of the women's senior team replacing the A.Veretelny/J. Kowalczyk tandem (they recommended him for the job together with Lukas Bauer, the mean's team coach).

 

Don't know whether that's good or bad news for the Fialkovas? :p@hckosice

Is it confirmed ? I heard about it but didn´t trust it too much, I know both sisters liked him a lot and "Bajčo" was the main reason of Paja increasing skiing quality.

Our Skiing Federation has confirmed he signed the papers so it's pretty much official in Poland ;)

 

Justyna Kowalczyk will remain as part of the staff but she never wanted to become a full-time HC now that Alexander Veretelny has finally decided to retire at age 72 (given he was the head coach of either our biathlon or cross country senior teams since 1987 with little breaks :p ).

According to NRK, the Norwegian national men's team is going to be cut from 15 to 12 men for the upcoming season. The official announcement of the national team is expected to be announced this Tuesday. 

 

As usual for Norway the national team will be split into two teams, All-around and Sprint. 

 

All-around:

Emil Iversen

Didrik Toenseth

Sjur Roethe

Hans Christer Holund

Simen Hegstad Krueger

Martin Loewstroem Nyenget

 

Sprint:

Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo 

Sindre Bjoernestad Skar

Finn-Haagen Krogh

Paal Golberg

Erik Valnes

Haavard Solaas Taugboel

 

Nyenget and Taugboel will both be new on the national team. However, the top story in Norwegian media about the selection is more about a name that is missing from the list which is Martin Johnsrud Sundby. It had been speculated that Sundby would no longer be part of the national team for the upcmong season and today's news confirmed it. 

NRK has made an interview with Sundby about his thoughts about his current situation:

    • I hope it was a typo and they mean mixed doubles.   Unless they bring back ranking points (they should regardless) I imagine the team event will be sparsely attended. I just hope players declining to participate won't spread to the singles/doubles events.

    • Also this from a journalist friend who asked the IOC about whether the mixed tennis event would be mixed doubles or a mixed team event. Simple answer - they don't know yet. The ITF are still to decide
    • The tennis would likely be the United Cup format. 1 singles mens match, 1 singles womens and the mixed, best of three.   Which if this is the case, it would be impossible to make players compete in a team event, singles and doubles in only one week (and especially coming from the grass to hard).   Due to this is very likely that tennis could go for 2 complete weeks, which if that happen we will see a lot of players not playing the olympics, which is not good. 2 weeks without playing for the points and money of the professional tour is impossible except for the top 10-20.   The only good is that in the LA dates there are no big tournaments, only 250, and the olympics could be a preparation for the US/Canada month ending in the US open so players will not have the excuse of the surface like last year.
