So..not so much succesful day for SVK as yesterday, but well, we can not expect a top 10 each race :d

 

Unfortunately Anastasiya missed 3 targets already in her first shooting today and the pursuit was over for her, at least she gained another few points for the world cup standing. thats ok. next time it will be better. Ivona was close to the points, but once again she missed it "thanks" her last shooting :(

 

Our legs order for tomorrows relay:

1- Paulína Fialková ---- 2- Anastasiya Kuzmina ---- 3- Terézia Poliaková ---- 4- Ivona Fialková

Among mens Tomáš Hasilla again on points, for 3rd race in a row :clap: by far our best racer so far, but this run...oh dear this run...he didn´t missed any target in last 9 standings shooting but with this run he´ll never reach any huge success...:(  Otčenáš with one missed target in each shooting was without chances for points..

 

Tomorrows relay order

1- Hasilla ---- 2- Kazár ---- 3- Otčenáš ---- 4- Šíma

Czech Republic has an incredible strong group of great biathletes right now :bowdown:, really looking forward for Czech womens relay tomorrow.

 

 

Also 6th todays place in IBU cup sprint for Jana Gereková will mean she will be back in team SVK for 3rd world cup stage in NMNM, we will see who she will replace after yesterdays relay.

Here we go, men's relay :cheer:

 

Booo Russia, Bulgaria and Switzerland, go Italy, Ukraine and all top favourites who aren't Russia, because bets :p 

I wonder, where is America?

(America is my third country, I'm half American. Haha)

I'm not betting but optimistic about Czech result

Maybe it's a penalization, or a disqualification, or the target malfunctioned and they get a time bonus? 

 

we´ll see, but it´s strange.

 

anyway Krčmář looks awesome in this seasons start, he is amazing also today so far.:)

A podium might be possible if we are lucky.

And yeah I'm really impressed. He's becoming very consistent. Remember last year he did 2 penalty loops on the relay.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
