Will be a strange Wch for :SVK team the first without Anastasiya Kuzmina, so the goals and expectations are now much lower.

So no special goals were required this time from the federation, basically just to attack seasons bests (especially among mens, since only Otčenáš won points this season so far and only 2 for his 39th place in the last stage)

 

However Paulína Fialková has her own personal goals and will try to win that historic medal (Sadly her injured knee is obvously a big obstacle in her efforts, but we all know that she is a great fighter and surely will puts everything on the races despite the unfortunate injury and obvious big limiting pain)

 

This is also the reason why Paja will not start in the mixed relays, Tomorrow for the classical Mixed Relay we will field a weak relay (Poliaková, V. Machyniaková, Šima, Otčenáš) which will probably be lapped already in the female part. The younger of the Fialková sisters Ivona will start in the single mixed relay with one of the mens later on the week.

Polish mixed relay squad for tomorrow is Zbylut-Zuk-Guzik-Szczurek. We never used this particular line-up before :p

 

Anterselva is of course the place where :POL won it's only World Championship gold medal back in 1995 when a 21-year old student Tomasz Sikora won the individual event beating Jon Age Tyldum and Oleg Ryzhenkov. Tyldum went on to win the overall World Cup that season but was quickly overtaken by O.E. Bjoerndalen as Norway's team leader and retired at the age of 30 which I never really understood.

 

Ryzhenkov and Vladimir Dratchev had easily the fastest ski speed on the day and would have won gold even with one miss. They missed 2 & 3 times respectively.

US goes with the expected 4

Dunklee-Egan-Nordgren-Doherty  this has been standard since the retirement of Burke and Bailey.  I would be estatic for a top 6, but top 10 seems reasonable.

This is our best chance to do anything special really. Probably the best relay we’ve had in a while, which is great since our men are so weak right now. I really hope one of the women can pull an absolute miracle at these championships.

Yep, if the US gets anyone in the top 6 of any race, I would be ecstatic!

Italy goes Vittozzi -Wierer-Hofer-Windisch

 

I wonder how that first hand over will go?  Or how they team will line up for a picture if they get a medal?

Top 5 in a relay or Top 10 (maybe 20 for the men) in an Individual would be enough for me low key

Nothing special, I assume. Most likely they and everyone around will act as if nothing is going on :p

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
    • I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
