Bandy Discussion Thread

Recommended Posts

This is how Bandy hockey got its start.  Obviously it is an old game with lots of variations all over the world, but the existing rules were written in this English microclimate by people who played on flat, frozen fields.

 

Dozens of skaters - including an international competitor - have flocked to The Fens from far and wide after word got out that flooded fields had frozen over.

 

Competitive skating began in the watery landscape in 1879 and since then it has become a magnet for lovers of "natural ice".

The only real intrigue came in the women's bronze medal game, where the USA scored the first goal in the 66th minute and the second in the 90th.

    • but this just killed me    Oh Africa I love you     
    • Man, that was the poorest Panenka attempt I saw in my life     
    • Pathetic scenes in the final. The referee tried to give it to Morocco but the late penalty was somehow even worse from Diaz 
    • aaaaaaand Canada did it , done of USA and their  taxes of shhhhht , Canada is replacing USA by China     
    • According to our Ski federation we received a galore of quotas today.   9 exactly    4 in Alpine Skiing, 3 in Cross-Country Skiing and believe it or not 2 in Ski Jumping, in which it will be a huge return to the Olympics for Slovak Ski Jumping after Vancouver 2010 and first ever appearance in Women Ski Jumping for the country.   The quotas will be used by our Ski Jumping teenage siblings Hektor Kapustík in the Mens Individual events and his younger sister Kira Mária Kapustíková in the Womens competition.   For both it will be obviously an Olympic debut, Kira will be I do believe our youngest athlete at the Games.     In Alpine Skiing, Petra Vlhová is nominated for the Slalom and with possibility to start also in the Team Alpine Combined. The Slalom reigning Olympic champion will start at her 3rd Olympics in a row. Rebeka Jančová in her second games after Beijing and Katarína Šrobová at her very first Olympics. Our sole male alpine skier in Italy will be Andreas Žampa who will attend his 4th consecutive Olympics.   In Cross-Country Skiing all our 3 athletes will debut at the Olympics. The Slovak-American Alaska born Peter Hinds, Tomáš Cenek and sole female in the team Mária Danielová. Their events are in the spoiler bellow.     Barring any injury this should be the final Slovakia Team for the Games (Last question is who will take the Short-Track quota - which will be answered by tomorrow). Obviously there still chance(s) for eventual reallocations, as we are on the waiting positions in W Ski jumping or W Ski Cross for example.     Team (Updated as of 18th January 2026) 52 Athletes (36 M + 16 W)    
    • Apparently we have quota also for the Women competition, at least according our federation    Really do not know what to think about it, but they surely know more than me.. so great then I guess    Both Kapustík siblings will be at the Olympics by the looks of it.   Still a little skeptical until I see it officially on the FIS website tomorrow though
