But I meant about yet previous coach Adam Kołodziejczyk, he destroyed good atmosphere in the team (good atmosphere, friendly etc. was thanks to Bilova), was fired and then totally disappear from sport :d Torgersen had difficult task and it isn't strange that athletes didn't reach good results, especially when half of them was injured or sick by half of training period in summer, but federation belived in him, he didn't reach expectations as I said earlier and was fired too.

Oh, I thought you were putting the blame on Tobias :d 

 

My apologies :p

big, big news for Italian Biathlon...

our National Federation hired a new shooting coach for our guys...and he's nothing less than Niccolò Campriani! :yikes::yikes::yikes:

I don't think I have to explain who he is, especially on this forum...:evil:

he's going to be the man in charge of all shooting activities (specific training, but also for psychological/motivational support) for all of our teams (senior M + F and juniors, too)...

if they don't improve their shooting skills with him, I don't really know what else can our federation do...:whistle:

Don't think Norway has any world class shooters (maybe I am wrong). 

I was talking about Biathlon in general

Daniel Kuzmin became the coach of the Men´s SVK national team, he´ll be also the personal head coach of his wife Anastasiya Kuzmina and for Terézia Poliaková as well. he´ll be assisted by the Czech shooting specialist Tomáš Kos former longtime shooting trainer of Slovenian team.

The Fialková sisters Paulína and Ivona will be coached by Anna Murínová and our former cross-country athlete Martin Bajčíčák.

 

Yes, we will have 2 groups in our Women´s team, the so-called National team coached by Murínová/Bajčičák and the "Kuzmina Team" coached by Daniel Kuzmin and Kos. Both head coaches will however "jointly" led the womens team during the competitions.

 

Also the former Ukrainian Yulia Pustovalova will officially be part of SVK team in the IBU Cups in the upcoming season. The Ukrainian federation and IBU approved her request of change of citizenship. The IBU Cup womens team will be formed also by the young Machyniaková sisters Veronika and Júlia.

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
    • I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
