Any news about Vlhova from Slovak sources? Because for now we only have Italian and Polish sources - unofficial.

We only know that Slovakia has three guaranteed female spots.

Unfortunately, she doesn't post much information on Instagram... Brignone posts something practically every day and you can immediately wiev if she's training or not...

 will have 5 representatives in Luge at the 2026 Olympics. 

 

 

Jozef Ninis (Top pic) in the M Singles will compete at his 6th consecutive WOG !!!

He debuted in Torino 2006 to close the circle in another Italian resort in 2026, by this he set the new Slovak Winter Olympic record of participation and tie the all time one with Erik Vlček competing at 6 games in Sprint Canoeing as well.

 

The remaining quartet (Pic 2) will debut at the Olympics, all still Juniors

Christián Bosman & Bruno Mick in the M Doubles and still schoolgirls Viktória Praxová & Desana Špitzová in the olympic premiere of the W Doubles

 

 

Must also be said, that we were quite unlucky in this qualifiers periode, Marián Skupek missed the second M Singles quota by 1 point and ended first non-qualified athlete and the experienced doubles Vaverčák/Zmij which was in clear qualifying position ended the season after Vaverčák injured his knee in the training before the Sigulda race 2 weeks ago

 

Also for the first time no W Singles participation for us meaning also obviously no participation in the Mixed Relay competition for the first time as well
