Maybe it was a mistake. If Slovenia didn't exist I would also write Slovakia as SLO since it's intuitive.

sorry but I don´t find that so intuitive at all... but yeah sure, for others it´s possible, since it´s not the first time we see this and...I know, not last time too

Considering most nations use the format of the first three letters of their name as their code I would say it's intuitive. One of the biggest reasons why a nation doesn't use their first three letters is because a different nation already has it.

There are two Dutch flags in the Olympic qualification list for women in the latest post by mrv86, but only one of them met the Dutch national standards. So that quota will be relocated.

Oh come on, sports is the only reason why I know Slovakia is abbreviated "SVK", it makes no real sense otherwise  

 

But yeah, someone editing Wiki pages should have some familiarity with sports...dumb mistake

Slovenska Republika or something similar is the name of Slovakia in Slovak language. That's even more similar name to Slovenia than Slovakia.
