Honestly I think not marking your skis properly is even more dumb :p

ok, another day and another bad day.

 

There were some expectations to attack the top 10 for our girls, but unfortunately they were visibly too much nervous today and failed. 2 loops in relay is too much for us, with 2 loops in relay SVK can not fight for higher place...unfortunately even Anastasiya who was supposed to lead our team failed in the prone shooting and Terézia Poliaková presented one of the worst running time of the whole todays race, must admit her shooting was excellent, absolutely excellent but c´mon at this level lost 2 and half minutes in 6km leg is a horror performance and since Ivona Fialková added our 2nd loop even with her combativity and decent run we couldn´t finished better than 16th...

 

this is very very bad, in Nations Cup we are 17th...and we will likely have huge troubles to remain in top 20, since it´s already confirmed that we will not compete in the new years 4th stage in Oberhof and questionable are also the 8th and 9th stages in PyeongChang and Tyumen. most likely we will miss both stages....I´m afraid it will have fatal consequences for our ambitions to be in the NC top 20.

Men´s relay...we expected nothing, boys fighted well, avoided penalty loops and finished 14th, not bad, we must see it in realistic view, this is prbably the maximum these guys can achieve, so fine. if they will be able to repeat it also in the next relays we should maintain our 15th place in the Nations Cup. even if we must calculate that we will miss Oberhof and most likely also PyeongChang and Tyumen.

The positive thing is a very nice 4th place of Jana Gereková in IBU cup pursuit today only few seconds behind podium, but still 4th place wow...something we didn´t knew for a while...

 

Janka will be back next weekend in Nove Město Na Moravě, still not known who she will replace, coach will announce it soon, but most likely it will be Poliaková

    • I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list
    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
