haha that random club who played once 1-1 with FC Barcelona ? :lol:

 

Obviously the club exist and play in our 2nd tier if I am not wrong. but not under this name anymore, Matador left the club in 2006.

 

Matador is the biggest Slovak Tires brand https://www.matador.tires/car/the-brand , located in the city Púchov,  :d

Yeah, I remember Matador Puchov from many moons ago. I suppose their place in the spotlight was even shorter than Artmedia Bratislava :p

 

I always wondered about that name since I wasn't aware of bull fighting traditions in Czechoslovakia :lol:

Yes, haha no Bull fighting tradition here.  Anyway, I don´t know why but I always thought Matador is quite famous brand also abroad. I was completelly wrong, I guess :lol:

 

Btw Artmedia Petržalka (that´s the offical name) is still existing in our 2nd league, (they changed the name to Bratislava for the european cups, because I assume not many people will be able to read the original name without broking their tongues)

 

Petržalka is the "infamous" district in the capital Bratislava, was originally build in the 70´s to help the problem with sudden population increase of the city, but ended only being the national leader in drugs and other criminality rating already during the late 80´s, another epic fail of the communism era :p

@hckosice- The funniest thing is Sharapovová instead of Sharapova in Slovakian sport news I was reading quite a few years ago.

yep, that´s a funny part of our language, we change all female foreign names to Slovak (it is basically in our law) :lol: However the foreign names finishing by ova must be turned into -ovová, like Sharapovová, or Fiodorowová :lol: although the only exception are Chinese names which are not changed into our language by law..

 

For example the Olympic champion in Hammer Trow Anita Wlodarczyiková won in new world record etc...

 

https://sport.sme.sk/c/20242855/kladivarka-wlodarczykova-stanovila-novy-svetovy-rekord.html?ref=gamp_article

 

in this article you can find perfect example, The silver chinese girl is the only without name changed, however Fodorowa and Magieva got another ova to their original ova in their names.

 

 

I know, we are weird :d

How on earth is there a special exception in the law for specifically Chinese and not for example Spanish? :d

The suffix would be longer than the name itself - imagine Li Na being Liova Na. It even looks bad on paper :p

“Tell me, Madame President” <pounds fist on table> “What is the Slovak Government’s official position on female names in Papuan languages of the Tor-Kwerba family?  No more of your evasions & equivocations!  The people of Papua New Guinea demand parity with China, or you shall feel the force of our poisoned blow-pipe darts!  No jars of home-made honey shall appease us!”

No idea. Nobody, really knows, It is how it is :lol:

 

Even Japanese female names are changed, the only exception are Chinese names. Edit: Also Koreans.

 

 

Spanish ? no problem, Ruth Beitiová, Carolina Marinová, Garbine Muguruzová :d

 

 

PS I have also one for you clean sweep of dutch ovás https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/320418/rychlokorculovanie-holandanka-achtereekteova-so-zlatom-na-3000-metrov/

 

and one special gift. Starting number 78 in the bottom of the live ticker, do you recognize her ? :phttps://sport.aktuality.sk/c/317599/online-me-v-biatlone-sprint-zien-s-paulinou-fialkovou-a-spol/

Jolien D'Hooreová, Anna van der Breggenová, does this even make sense? :d 

 

Also, seems like Chinese names are spelled in a totally different way in Slovak.

Shi Jinglin becomes  Š' Ťing-lin.

    • grab the final men’s quota so arguably the top two favourites on each side qualified 
    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
