Still not sure how exactly SVK male team managed to qualify for this qualifiers, I guess this will remains as one of those unsolved misteries of life like the Bermuda triangle...but however after some millions years SVK male basketball team played its first official qualification main round match today

 

:SVK - :BEL  57-83  at home. in normal times it maybe would be a huge holiday for all our cca 237 basketball fans in the country but since it was the first lockdown day today, this huge moment of history was played behind closed doors  :lol:

It Is interesting that basketball is not so popular in Slovakia. I think in Czech no popular neither, but we were in olympics :-) But yes i think 5 years ago, we were losing with Bosnia and Great Britain :-D But i think womens basketball is in good level, right?

 

I can compare popular of this sport in Czech and Turkey when i was there for 2 weeks. And basketball was in each TV channel.

Well, what can we do :d But if a NT is capable to lose by double digit even to Albania it can hardly expect to be taken seriously or promote its sport.

 

But, The truth is that basketball has never been particularly popular or extremely followed in our region, although there have been some attempts by some media after the fall of the Iron Curtain, they began in the early 90s (Dream Team and Jordan/Johnson era) broadcasting and advertising NBA broadcasts and stuff, but the initial interest quickly declined after 2-3 years. Now, I can not even remember last time I saw a minute or two of male basketball in our TV (except Tokyo 2020 final).

 

Women's basketball is by a couple of galaxies more successful than the mens one and basically the chicks themselves keeps the entire basketball federation alive, thanks to women they are still receiving very decent financial support from the state etc...which is absolutely insane when you take in mind which results the Mens are able to return and it stay like this decades and decades now lol, but even if W Basketball is more more more successful It is still certainly not real to claim that it is also super popular. Like Barely Hundred of people at most attend matches.

 

Well, lt is not surprising from Turkey. I obviously know the sport is extremely popular in the Balkan and basically the whole south Europe. ;)

well, actually you have a decent basketball coverage (even if it's not on your public TV channels)...;)

 

right now, a few NBA games/week and many Champions League matches are shown on Nova Sport channels, and the new JOJ Sport channel regularly covers both the Spanish Liga Endesa and the regional league where the main Slovak teams play...:evil:

 

that's not the absolute 0 that Italian Hockey fans have on our tv channel, for instance (just to compare 2 sports which are not really popular in our respective Countries)...:nopompom:

Nova Sport is Czech.

 

JOJ Šport is a new channel, half of the country still does not have it yet (me neither, my TV cable company still has not included this TV channel to its service) but will have to do it soon, since they have the rights for Ice Hockey World Champs from 2024 :p

 

Btw when speaking about it. I know you like watching Hockey on our TVs, I have also a good news for you.

 

RTVS will start its sport TV channel the 20th December from 17:00. RTVS Šport. Was really about time, we are like the last European National public TV to do it...

 

Beijing 2022, Ice Hockey Worlds 2022 and Football WC in Qatar being their top attractions for the upcoming year but also Tour de France, Biathlon World Cup, European Football Cups, Slovak Hockey League etc.. The first action of the new channel will be the Ice Hockey World Juniors traditionally during the Christmas-New Years holidays. As Public TV it will be free also on satelite Astra 23,5°E

    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
    • After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.
    • Stalin got Karelian Peninsula and Viborg and that was enough. Land invasion from Finland made no sense 60 yrs ago and makes even less sense in 2020s.   Finland isn't that important strategically even when it comes to Baltic Sea. U need to control Danish straits to control the Baltic. Warsaw Pact had an invasion plan of Denmark for this one reason.    Likewise Mediterranean Sea was no priority for Stalin. SU wasn't a naval power back in the day.
    • Exactly. It's not just Simon and her theft, there are other issues as well.
    • By the way, I did not follow the action, but there was another accident. "Jeanne Richard damaged her teammate Oceane Michelon's rifle. She was caught red-handed by Justine Braisaz-Bouchet." I do not know, if it was resolved somehow.
    • If Jeanmonnot and Brasaiz are against Simon, perhaps they should have dropped Simon to improve the team spirit. Especially since there was the possibility of dropping Simon for her bad behavior. One thing is conflicts like the Vittozzi-Wierer on Italy NT some times ago, but money theft within the team is quite another. Simon clearly has a serious problem with himself.
