But GBR has two ice hockey teams, something we of course can't expect from a small Central European country without any sort of an ice hockey tradition :evil:

 

GBR has 1113 registred female ice hockey players, we have 743 :evil:

GBR has 60 million inhabitants, Slovakia has 5. :evil:

 

So they will really need to have around 9000 registered players to be on par with SVK. :p

yay.. but still from 1113 female players is still easier to form a let say competitive "hobby" students team than from 743  :old:

Three days and three hours until the opening ceremony and not even a sign of any athletes' profiles or any sort of somewhat detailed information on the official website...this is getting rather shameful...

Last Winter Universiade we had 7 athletes....not very much a coincidence that that was the Universiade with no speed skating :p 

 

Now we have 7 in other sports and 13 in speed skating :d 

 

Like usual though, we're not exactly strong in university sports, even in speed skating. Even from watching national championships on TV, I only know Bart Vreugdenhil, who was 18th at the Dutch Allround Championships last weekend (and that's without at least 2-3 skaters who would easily have been ahead of that). Gerritsen was 17th there. Van Oosten was 7th in the Dutch Sprint Championships last weekend where most top athletes were participating, so he might be able to do something good....although the presence of Roman Krech is making gold nearly impossible and I guess the Polish will have some strong names as well.

Still nothing about athlete's profiles, but at least the well-known results lay-out for multi-events can finally be found on FISU's website:

    • Non-Olympic Athlete, Moment of the Year and Olympic Spirit Award are the ones lacking the most. Paralympic Athlete and Breakthrough also don't have a lot of votes.
    • Do you have or have you ever had an modern ice track?
    • Still no progress in the Italian team: 2x 4th place in men's singles and women's doubles+ a fall in the team relay. Men's doubles and women's singles without any progress for years. What's worse, our women's doubles also significantly lowered their level: without a single podium in the World Cup in this season. As of today, I'm betting on 0 medals in Cortina for us, excluding some miracles on the home track.
    • There is some progress at Barp and Carollo but almost everything is still based on Pellegrino. In the men's we lost a great talent - de Fabiani and Davide Graz - they are at an age where we have a generation gap in these age groups: 1994-2000. In the women's I`m happy with Monsorno's progress in sprints but the last podium WC in the women's category was in... 2011. We wasted 15 years in the women's category and now we are only waking up with 1 year to go until the games in Cortina, when we should have a ready team like Germany (I will skip Scandinavia because of its completely different potential).
    • Italy doesn't exist in women's technical competitions without from Brignone and Goggia - both over 30 age. Unfortunately Bassino has been out of good shipe since from last season in the giant slalom and she is unrecognizable in some competitions. In the case of Goggia I also don't really believe in regular podiums in the giant slalom - she can't have falls and win in the downhill and super-G. The giant slalom is just a bonus.   The Italian women's slalom has basically been non-existent for many years. One Peterlini qualifies for the 30 and doesn't finish half of the competitions. I can't understand how it was possible to lose Colturi in a situation where other Italians have fallen so badly. Unfortunately it's not the Italian federation that should be setting the conditions here but it's Colturi and her mother - a talent on par with Shiffrin at her age. 
    • In relay yes, but we have 8 more from our legend Natalya Yakushenko back in 2008 and earlier
