I will try to go through all previous performances and to find out, what the future brings, if particular sport will have  image.png  representatives in Tokio.

Equestrian

 

 

I am always surprised, how this is not sport, in which we could seldom see Slovenian athletes. Our lovely land is known for its beautiful heritage, one of most recognized is Lipicanec (Lipizzaner), special breed, originated from small town of Lipica in Littoral Slovenian.

Nevertheless, there were two Games with Slovenian participation in equestrian.

Vladimir Seunig competed in 1924, where he took part in Dressage. Another three athletes competed in Dressage at the 1984 Games, with Alojz Lah finishing highest (15th).

 

It does not look, there could be another representative any soon, though there are a lot of organized events on international level, especially in Jumping events.

Fencing

 

 

Fencing brought first Slovenian performance in history of Olympic Games and also first medal. Rudolf Cvetko competed in 1912 under Austrian-Hungary empire and won a silver medal in Team event with sabre.

In Berlin 1936 delegation consisted of 3 men and 1 female. All 3 male competitor finished 12th in Team Foil event for Yugoslavia.

 

In modern era there are only a few athletes, who found their place on World Rankings, with no fencer coming close to top 100, so there will not be any Slovenian in Tokio. For example, last year in Budapest, there were no one who could pass qualification through the last 64.

Field Hockey

 

 

Field Hockey is one of those sports, in which Slovenia never came even close to qualify for Qlympics. In our country there are currently only three active teams, all from North Eastern part. Main cause is due to conditions, apart from Lipovci, Predanovci and Moravske Toplice other towns don't have artificial grass court. Interestingly enough, in our land there is still official name for this sport "Hokej na travi", which means "Grass Hockey", though it is very rarely played on grass.

 

Slovenia National Team played last season in lowest tier of EuroHockey Challenge, where they finished last, that means 29th in Europe. In 2009, team competed in second tier, which was biggest success so far. 

 

Currently, there are 90 nations on FIH World Rankings, Slovenia is ranked 72nd.

Women are on 48th place among 75 teams.

    • Spring Nationals, Day #3   Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals!    after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record   in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28   given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore   more on Today's Finals:   men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32   women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times   men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005)   men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74  even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing    women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77   in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint
