Good news, the Dudinska 50 received green light from the governement. But under very strict conditions. Max 50 people can be at the place during the race including referees, officials, coaches and medical staff. So exactly only 15 athletes will be allowed to compete. Everything is set for Matej Tóth to hopefully achieve that freaking 3:50:00 Tokyo standard.

 

A special 1 km lap will be prepared in a fully closed area of the center of Dudince, No spectators and only 50 people allowed to be at the same time in the area (2nd Condition : All 50 people must have negative Covid-19 test not older than 12 hours !!!)

 

The Start List with 15 athletes will be announced later, but so far if nothing bad happens it should contain the :NOR Havard Haukenes, strong :POL team with Rafal Sikora, :ECU Andres Chocho, :IRL Alex Wright or Karl Junghanns from :GER  and obviously the main man of the whole project in that special race :SVK  Matej Tóth.

 

As Matej already mentioned they should all help each other during this race to reach the standard for Tokyo. Sort of project Bogota á la Dudince :p

I am looking for the olympic rankings, who would have a site where I can find this?

I have searched and not found anything. There is a Road to Tokyo feature in WA site which shows people who have met entry standards. I am not sure anyone has the rankings site.

    • 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.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
