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/

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.

    • 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.
