:SVK Team Slovakia :SVK

3 (3+0)

 

MEN'S

Singles: Norbert Gombos

Doubles: Filip Polášek/Lukáš Klein

Slovakia has never missed the Olympic tennis competitions. It will be its 7th consecutive appearance in this sport since the independence. However, it will now break into negative records books. Not only will we equal the smallest team in the history from Rio 5 years ago with only 3 players competing, but for the first time ever we will not be represented in women's competitions at all.

 

Atlanta 1996 (5 players, 2M+3W), Sydney 2000 (5, 2+3), Athens 2004 (7, 3+4), Beijing 2008 (4, 1+3), London 2012 (4, 2+2), Rio 2016 (3, 2+1)

 

The country never won a medal at the Olympics... as Slovakia... but won 2 in Seoul 1988 as part of the former Czechoslovakia, with the Slovak former world class player Miloš Mečíř entering the history as the very first Olympic champion in M Singles at the return of the sport to the Olympics.

 

This time, Only 3 players will represent the country from under the Tatras in the Tokyo Tennis competition. An all men affair.

 

Norbert Gombos, sometimes spelt Gomboš, 30 years old right handed player, last year Rolland Garros 3rd round participant, finished the Olympic qualifying period outside of the qualifying cut-off ranking as 87th ATP Singles player, but due several withdrawals and removals from the ranking for different reasons he jumped back among the 64 qualified players, Last day of June he was officially invited to take part at the Tokyo 2020 M singles tournament as European Continental Quota holder (Nowadays he is already pretty safe among the direct qualifiers btw). Long time Slovak Davis Cup member will experience his Olympic debut in Tokyo.

 

Filip Polášek, 35 years old, current Slovak Doubles Number 1 player finished the qualifying period in 9th place of the mens doubles ATP ranking, a top 10 rank which secured him a direct automatical Olympic spot in the Mens Doubles. He even had the luxury to select himself his partner for the competition...

He could choose literally anyone he wanted, pending the player would fullfil basic criterias being top 300 ATP Singles or Doubles player with some required Davis Cup starts during the Qualifying cycle...

This year Australian Open winner alongside his long years Doubles partner Ivan Dodig of Croatia, eventually picked the young Lukáš Klein, as his partner for the Tokyo Doubles competition. Lukáš 23 years old former Australian Open Junior doubles runner-up is considered as one of the new talents of our Tennis, currently 257th ATP doubles and 256th Singles player is having this year his best season so far in his young career at the Challenger circuits, with doubles triumph in Cherbourg or final in Zadar among others. The issue was however he never participated in Davis Cups, but not because he did not want to or refused the invitations, he never has been called to the team, because of better ranked players being always chosen, this fact helped at the end our authorities to convince ITF to despite the rules, confirm and allow his place in the M Doubles alongside of Filip Polášek.

 

All 3 our players will play at the Olympics for the first time of their careers.

I found the tennis rule of preference of single players for doubles selection really weird and totally unfair

Blame the IOC putting hard limits on the number of athletes per event

    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either. 
    • Oh dear oh dear.  Going to be ructions with this one.  Established international diver Sofia Lyskun wants to transfer from..... to !     Somehow I think the three year rule will be enforced.   Sofiia Lyskun: Ukrainian federation 'expresses deep indignation' after champion diver switches to Russia - BBC Sport
