I have a proposal that I would love to hear everyone’s opinion on: 

 

The IOC should make an Olympic Hall of Fame. Every 4 years, the greatest olympians get inducted into the hall of fame. There would an induction ceremony (probably about 10 minutes or so) at the opening ceremony of all summer and winter Olympic games. The greatest winter sport olympians get inducted at the opening ceremony of the winter games & vice versa. At the Lausanne Olympic Museum there would be an exhibit honoring all of the inductees.

 

What do you guys think?

Not opposed. I’d like a wall (somewhere in the museum) where they carve the faces into it (kind of like the Indy 500 trophy).

I don’t care what they do to honor them, but I feel like it will bring more attention to the Olympics if they do it

More attention: probably not (at least not a significant amount)

 

It would be nice and cool for those of us that care though.

Honestly, I don't see any reason for it to exist. Many sports federations have their own hall of fame, so why create another one for the Olympics? If someone is, indeed, a legend, and this has been acknowledged once, why repeat it again? We all knew about it the first time.

In the United States, halls of fame are tourist attractions.

 

In fact, the IOC has an Olympic Museum. I have no idea what it shows.

Olympic Museum is pretty cool. They do a lot of interactive exhibits where kids can learn/play the Olympic sports. It’s located in a park along the shore of the lake there in Lausanne. They have concerts, the Olympics torch relays often stop by, the have running events, etc. They have a bunch of displays inside: all the torches, a bunch of photos, Olympic posters/programs, old results, uniforms, they show Olympic Channel programs, etc. I’d actually really love to visit, but it’s just so expensive to travel to Switzerland (and even more so Lausanne).

Slovak Athlete of the Year 2020 nominations are out.

 

Due Covid-19 pandemic this year is a bit different, several athletes and sports teams could not introduce themselves and compete, which is why this year is different.

 

Instead of the traditional top 10, only the top 5 will be awarded. And instead of the top 3 sports teams, only one winning team will be awarded and announced.

 

:SVK Athlete of the Year 2020 Nominations (In Alphabetical Order)

Erik Černák (Ice Hockey) 

Erik "Drago" Černák the Košice born blueliner is among the nominated for the 1st time. 2015 U20 World Championship Bronze medalist is this years NHL Stanley Cup champion with Tampa Bay where he is despite his young age considered as one of the leaders of the defense which he proved with his ice times in the entire playoffs.

Peter Sagan (Road Cycling) 

Peter is nominated for the 10th consecutive time !!! He is a 3 time winner (2013, 15 & 17) This year was defiitely not one of his most successful for sure, but he still managed some nice things sadly his seasons goal the Green Jersey remained unfulfilled. However his stage win at the Giro was certainly epic and now he is a fresh member of a all 3 Top Tour stages winner club.

Matej Tóth (Athletics) 

Matej the 2016 Winner is nominated for the 6th time. In a very difficult year for Race Walking he never gave up, continued hard training and despite endless problems with canceling the races, he persevered and managed to create the world best performance of the year in a single race of the whole season and qualified for the Olympics. EAA also awarded him by title of European athlete of the month of October.

Petra Vlhová (Alpine Skiing) 

The only female in the Top 5 and definitely our biggest sport star nowadays is the reigning champion of this award from 2019, her only triumph so far from the 5 nominations. This whole 2020 year believe it or not, She is the only skier to won WC Slalom races so far. She won 2 small crystal globes for Slalom and Parallels last season, this season she already won 3 more WC races.

Ján Volko (Athletics) 

Our sprinter "Johnny" Volko is nominated for the 3rd time, his both previous nominations finished by 4th places (2017 & 19). sadly this year he could not really compete and defend his indoor ECH title, however he still showed some good races like in the Diamond Legue in Bruxelles where he was 3rd n 200m.

 

We already know the 6th-8h Places

6. Martin Dúbravka (Football)

7. Andrej Sekera (Ice Hockey)

8. Ivona Fialková (Biathlon)

2. Our Football NT have even achieved to enter the history books by qualifying to the EURO 2020 months and months after the Tournament opening match

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
