It is so fun, when there are people quite annoyed over success of Slovenia in this Worlds. Not a single medal was surprise, those who watch Nordic sport seriously, are well aware.

I completely agree. And, i will tell you more, Slovenia wasted a gold medal in the women's ski jumping team.

I definitely don’t follow cross country, but I was very well aware of previous results and I was also aware of the fact that 

a) Results in the season usually don’t really matter in sprint, because the top Norwegian/Swedish athletes barely bother

You certainly don't follow cross country when you make that claim.

Wait, there are people annoyed over it's succes or even thinking the medals are surprising? What's next, "wow I didn't expect the Swedish women to win a sprint gold!"? :yikes::rofl: 

 

Sure, Klinec being the one winning the gold took me by a bit of surprise, but the fact that it was a Slovenian winner....not so much, considering recent weeks :d

Curious where Ireland sits here. Do they have a shot at three spots even thanks to TMW?

No chance for a 2nd quota for Croatia as it seems and no 2nd olympics for Crnkovic

So this is how the minor points should go (from the qualification race)... I assume Greece can't score points for their 5th skier. Let's hope so, anyway...

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.
