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

 

Might be off-topic but what do you expect when even native speakers misuse "then" and "than" or worse, the horrid "should of" which doesn't make sense at all. It's "should have" or in short, "should've".

 

In general I agree with you because there doesn't seem to be a problem with Australia (AUS) and Austria (AUT) either. It's a learning thing but at least when you're into sports, you should know which country uses which code.

There is one, or at least there was one. That's why the "No kangaroos in Austria" slogans exists: https://www.google.de/search?q=no+kangaroos+in+austria&biw=1440&bih=791&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjmspK41N7MAhWKJJoKHWbGDzoQ_AUIBigB

And a Slovene ambassador in one European capital says his staff meets someone from the local Slovak Embassy at least once a month, simply to exchange wrongly addressed mail.

this discussion has nothing to do with triathlon and sports, shouldn't be stopped?

Pâmella Oliveira will represent Brazil in the women's event (source). The man will be announced next week.

Pretty much as expected, one Dutch triathlete in Rio. It's a shame for Caelers though with all her injuries and bad luck.

So Dutch NOC will reject Caelers place? So sad for her, she really gave a good race in Yokohama... on the other hand that means the spot will be reallocated to Mexico.

Concerning African continental quota places it is likely that South Africa will accept both quota as Mari Rabie and Henri Schoeman would both have qualified via the Olympic qualification rankings, therefore it would seem strange to reject the quota, only to be reallocated the same quota again!

Well, you never know. They did pretty much the same thing with their field hockey teams in 2012. Both teams qualified through Africans, both quotas were declined and then both qualified on final QTs.
