European Winter Youth Olympic Festival 2017

I agree, the depth in ice hockey low so, when you have Championship tier nations playing against a Division III nation you end up with a blowout. France will also easily win by double digits.

 

It'll be the same thing with the South Korean women's team at the Olympics. At least the men's team may avoid getting completely stomped in all of their matches.

 I remember this just destroyed the womens hocey in Bulgaria, they needed few more years to try a restart with some new girls

 

 

Hockey in Bulgaria has been destroyed for 27 years (since the fall of socialism)  It encorporates only amateurs playing for fun (if they are having fun ) The federation exists only to get some funding from the country, which disappears immidiately. This sport is non-existent here and i'm surprised they go to international competitions at all.

Okay so let make a brief recap of Day 1,

 

Russia already leading the tally with 8 medals 3 of them golds (girls alpine skiing Giant slalom and both snowboards parallel Giant slaloms) in total already 6 countries won medals in the first 5 events of this years winter EYOF, among them Czech Republic with Nikola Bubáková in Alpine Skiing Giant Slalom. and also 1st ever medal for TURKEY !!!! in girls snowboard parallel GS.

 

All results can be found in our results database http://results.totallympics.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=237&fromuid=5

 

 

From Slovak view a great start with a provisional 5th place of Silvia Hugec in girls figure skating after the short program.

 

Bravo Silvia !

 

 

Our other todays results weren´t so great though,

24th Zuzana Jakubčová and 25th Andrea Šafáriková in Alpine Skiing Giant Slalom,

22nd Lucia Michaličková and 34th Zuzana Šefčíková in cross country skiing 5km classical Girls

29th Dominik Číž and 39th Kristian Klouda in Cross-Country Skiing 7.5km Classical Boys

and current 12th Simon Fukas in boys Figure Skating after the Short Program.

Tomorrow our athletes will compete in Alpine Skiing Boys Giant Slalom, Cross-Country Skiing Boys 10km and Girls 7.5km pursuit races , in boys 7.5km and girls 5km Biathlon sprints, in the Girls Ski Jumping event  and our hockey team will face Belarus in the only match of the preliminary group B, it ´s extremely important to win this game to avoid Russia in the semifinals, as this is ofc our only chance for a medal in this EYOF 

Good Luck !

Biathlon tomorrow, if someone sees a live stream somewhere, please post it  

 

That's by far the event I'm looking forward to the most, especially the women's races because that's basically the only event of which I actually know a decent number of names  

 

If K Dmytrenko keeps her shooting under control, she shouldn't have any problems winning a couple of gold medals..

OMG !!! can´t believe our youngs lost to Belarus this is incredible, I didn´t see this comming...wow what a embarassing flop so now we will have to win the bronze medal match against the loser of BLR/FRA to win a medal in this EYOF as we certainly willl not beat Russia, oh dear...what a disappointing surprise it is..to not say shameful
