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.

    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu. 
    • Satanyahu bombarded this synagogue in Tehran ...he is antisemitic     
    • They removed the original post and released an official message.   https://worldathletics.org/news/press-releases/athens-2030-world-marathon-championships
