That looks interesting, and I see they're in a partnership with the IIHF.

I don't think breakdancing was that bad. I mean, it's still better than chess or gaming!

Not until the second week, it's anything worth watching at the beginning of the games.

@hckošice Who do you expect to be our flagbearers?

I really hope the main arena will be completed in time. The organisers have reassured everyone that everything will be ready, but it's pretty obvious why fans are worried.

Very nice!

Exactly. Recent developments of the construction haven't been particularly encouraging, and while they'll probably get everything sorted just in time, a lot of North American fans have been quite vocal about every minor inconvenience.

We have now!

Where do you get this table from? Do you make it yourself or is there an article which includes this one?

HOORAY!

Slovakia having the best shooting after half of the race was not on my bingo card. I don't want to celebrate too early, knock on wood.

EMA!

Nope. The graphics were wrong.

RTVS really making impressive changes! Live interviews directly from the stadium, every major race on television throughout the season, new broadcast graphics, and all of this will peak with the Olympics. Biathlon is getting even more attention on national television.

Good luck! Time to listen to each song.

I see where you're going with that one :D

Sounds good.

Not bad!

@OlympicIRL What happens if they don't meet the deadline? Will their countries just get kicked out? :(

32 nations so far, is there a chance for anyone else to join?

SLOVAKIA Emma Drobná - Rande (feat. Ego) Here's the Slovak entry reveal! Slovakia will be represented by Emma Drobná this year. Known for her distinctive pop style, she steps onto the stage with confidence and catchy tunes. Rising to fame after winning the Slovak version of Pop Idol, she has become one of the country's most recognisable contemporary artists. Her entry combines modern production with heartfelt songwriting, showcasing both her vocal talent and her signature atmospheric sound. This year, Emma brings a fresh spark to the contest, hopefully catching the attention of all music fans. She'll be joined by Ego, one of Slovakia’s most influential hip-hop artists. His appearance in this entry adds energy and sharpness to the song, making their collaboration a standout moment. While Emma sings with a soft, warm voice, Ego brings a strong rap part that fits the music well. Together, they managed to create a simple, catchy tune that certainly gives the impression they enjoyed making it, and hopefully, the listeners will agree on this one.

Slovakia has revealed the jerseys. That's the third country so far. https://sportnet.sme.sk/spravy/hokej-slovensko-nove-dresy-olympijska-sezona-zoh-2026/ I'm biased, but these are absolutely amazing.
