More of the new national idenities have been added to the website, or I just noticed them for the first time :p

I wonder under which name the many athletes who aren't from one of these 14 nations will race?

Like it wasn't bad enough, countries aren't going to be announced as the country anymore, they're now officially racing under super lame forced nicknames.   Dutch Lions Korean Tigers

There’s two pages of those by the way.

Ah, hadn't seen the arrow to go to page 2. I assume that means they make a 'nickname' thingy for every country that has at least a single athlete participating...

 

Ice spiders and wolves and eagles and lions and hussars and vikings and then there's the Singapore....Gazelles :p

Dutch Lions

Korean Tigers

American Eagles

Belgian Ice Bears

etc.

 

So is it a league now? Or just plain shit. It sounds like some world league where any skater can represent any franchise. If that's the case, Dubai Camels, Azerbaijan Goats, Qatari Oryx and Uzbek Leopards should be on the way

I don't think so, athletes will still compete for their nations, it's just that the nations have some US-sports kind of nickname and won't be announced as the actual nation anymore.

They could have had a month long league instead after the usual season ended with no such drama. This is too wierd I feel.

It's also just unnecessary :d 

 

Reactions I've seen so far from the top skaters here mostly come down to: "Yeah, whatever" :p

I actually feel like it has the potential to be good change. The new brand identities might open up more possibilities for merchandise. I also think the ISU could create a compelling team standings competition similar to the constructors cup in F1.
 

Plus, it might add a degree of “apolitical-ness” to the top level international short track, during a time where that’s been a hot topic in international sports (in general). 
 

Maybe it won’t work at all, but I’m open to seeing where the ISU go with this.

But why? Honestly it should be about athletes.

      What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens?

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
