Madre de dios !!!! for everything on earth !!! please can anyone contact the person doing the qualified athletes in wikipedia and say him that Richard Varga is not SLOVENIAN !!!

 

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 :p 

 

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

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

that´s not the question ;) in Slovakia we all know what is "Slovensko" and what is "Slovinsko" ,

 

the problem is abroad... how they still can 23 years after!!! still confuse those 2 countries. you can not even imagine how it make me mad... but well, I will be a true gentle and will  stand polite and kind and forget this new assault to my nerves :d

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
