I have a bad feeling GB could end up with no medals in Atheltics with KJT and DAS underperforming and none of the other decent chances succeeding. Even no gold medals would see funding becoming a big issue. 

DAS underperforming ? Huh ?

Britain has several option for wining medals in Tokyo, maybe the medal for Johnson-Tompson is in danger but I can see Dina taking at least a bronze, brits tend to do well in the relays and also they have a shot at 800, 1500 in both men & women. 

 

I predict something between 3 to 6 medals, can't see Britain not taking at least one

:SVK team landed in Bulgaria for the upcoming 2nd European League, with the goal to avoid the (I fear the inevitable) relegation together with the DSQ :RUS to the lowest 3rd division.

 

Since we will compete without many our lead athletes skipping this event like

Ján Volko M 100m/200m&4x100m or Tomáš Veszelka Triple Jump,

also has been decided that Emma Zapletalová already qualified in the 400 hurdles will run only the 400m here and let the 400m Hurdles to Ledecká whom is still fighting for points to the Olympic ranking

The chance to stay in this division are rather in theoretical levels

 

 

One surprise is however the return of Lucia Klocová in W 1500m called from retirement just for this championship because we had nobody to send in this discipline lol

Is Veszelka not chasing the Olympic ranking anymore? He's injured?

 

I ask because our triple jumper Dimitrios Tsiamis is right above him in the Olympic ranking (Tsiamis is also injured right now but hoping to make Tokyo)

He underwent surgery at the beginning of the year. He didn't race at all this year, as far as I know, he bet everything on the national championship, which will be just before the qualifying deadline the 27th June.

 

But I have no idea what form he will be in and what performance he is ready to achieve since he did not compete at all this year. The sure thing is however, he will definitely win the national championship (if he starts ofc) becuase logically in Slovakia there is no one who can beat him. So he will get the points for the national championship, but now the question is what will be the performance he will achieve and thus the eventual point bonus to the ranking.

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
