:SVK  did not send anyone here...

 

Since this is the main Olympic qualifier, this decision is just bizarre and absolutely inexcusable.

 

 

The federation president arguing that The pandemic caused our athletes were unable to fully prepare and train for this important competition (the only one of the whole season!!!). It would not be reasonable to send anyone to this championship, we will hopefully be able to fight for the Olympics in September in Germany, where we aim to send someone in the women's competition (apparently there still slim chances of a return of Nicole Rajičová).

You can't send just anyone though. There are minimum requirements, which happen to be more strict than even those for the Olympics.

Just looked at the entries and I do believe we have certainly at least someone who could be there easily

I don´t know, maybe Marco Klepoch or Michal Neuner among mens, Monika Simančíková, Alexandra Filcová or Ema Doboszová among womens would certainly beat skaters from the 1st groups

Well, minimum requirements are out of reach for all of these (and Simancikova appears to be in retirement). :dunno:

 

TES minimum requirement for the short program (ladies) - 30.00

Doboszova (PB) - 25.04

FIlcova (PB) - 24.09

 

TES minimum requirement for the short program (men) - 34.00

Klepoch (PB) - 27.88

Neuner (PB) - 32.34

 

Based on this, athletes who qualified for Stockholm would easily finish ahead. Minmum requirements are that high.

    • 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.
