Slovakia has revealed the jerseys. That's the third country so far.

I'm biased, but these are absolutely amazing.

Najs :d

NHL will send its own delegation to Italy next week to check on site how the construction of the main arena for the 2026 Winter Olympics is progressing. :d

 

Drama :popcorn: NHL players banned from playing the tournament in 3, 2, 1...

 

Chance for another bronze still alive then :d

I think the North American press should stop whining and slandering the Olympic Arena and the Italian Olympics in general :bones:

 

I see also a lot of clickbaiting posts on social media, posting old photos and reporting words such as of Elliotte Friedman in the above article, but it's all fake news

 

the arena is basically ready, there are only some external finishing and the parking lots to be completed

 

the rink size will be 60x26m (exactly like the O2 arena in Prague, where they played the world champs in 2024 -and many other times)

and guess what? all European/International rinks are 60m (197 feet) long :evil:

 

but maybe the Canadian coaches are afraid to make another bad tournament like they did in Turin in 2006 (when they actually had to play on traditional European-size rinks and Chris Pronger couldn't catch even the small Italian players on that ice :raspberry:)

The most bizarre own goal I saw in my life.

 

Last night in NHL Pittsburgh scored an unbelievable own goal 0.2 seconds before the end of the match :lol::lol:

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
