I just saw the Wikipedia article about the Ski Mountaineering qualification and I'm a bit worried. Look, I know almost nothing about the sport and its qualification method, but why does Slovakia not even look like it is eligible for a spot in the women's sprint? Where is Jagerčíková?

In fact, Italy is in a sense setting the trend in politics, as the Italian Trump-Berlusconi ruled here just in the 90s Visionary :P

yeah, even if they have to be very careful, because some idiots have already started threatening the track (a few days ago a coolant pipe was damaged by unknown persons, fortunately without serious consequences)
