When I was still living in Poland, I remember Zakopane and Poprad wanting to host the Winter Games in 2006. I was in the mountains in Slovakia with my parents on summer 1998 and I saw ads for this bid. Ultimately, Turin won. Do you think it was realistic for you country in that times?

In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022

Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.

 

Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport

This year, Italy will play against Slovakia in the women's hockey World Championships in Budapest in April. Who do you think will be the favorite?

Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year.

Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even)

According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April)

Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved....
