Apparently Slovakia's prime minister Fico has been shot.
Ironically the reporter's last name "Vražda" means "murder"... I wonder how this will impact the EU elections.
If Fico doesn't survive, he would be the first European leader to be assassinated since Serbia's Zoran Đinđić in 2003.

Karlsruhe has applied to host The World Games 2029.
Are winter sports allowed at the World Games? It would be interesting if they decide to include Ice Stock Sport or Synchronized Skating.

Round-Robin Last Day Results (GMT +2)
12:30 Norway 8 - 0 South Korea
16:00 Hungary 2 - 1 France
20:25 Austria OT6 - 5 Netherlands
This is apparently a great result for Slovakia. They now get to avoid Sweden in the final Olympic qualification round, and get a weak qualifier team in their first round group instead of Latvia.

This is simply embarassing to have to play in this ! So sad and frustrating to watch our hockey playing such adversity. Two totally one-sided games
In other hands kudos to Slovenian goaltender, one of the best goaltending performance I have seen in my life. The girl looked like she will probably die on the ice, she was constantly facing shots and made PLENTY of miraculous saves, if not her, we would have surely won by double digit...
I mean she made 71 saves this afternoon
You think that’s bad wait until Olympic qualification when they have to play Mexico

So are you Czechoslovak now? :P
I grew up there and I always thought I was eligible for Czech citizenship but due to a technicality I’m actually Slovak-American

sincere condolences That´s however a very brave decision which will imply a lot of sufferance, sorrowfull frustrations and neverending disappointements, but hey once in a loooong period time when there is a sporting success somewhere, the feeling of joy and pride is incalculable I promise you
Yeah, not many official info being published into the public, but, I guess her club did not want to release her as her Bishop Kearney is going to play the American Hockey Chamipionship in a couple of days...
Ah.. hopefully she will make her debut in Olympic Qualification and score 5 goals against Iceland

Yeah, their "free association" status with New Zealand will probably be a problem. Faroe Islands have struggled for recognition despite the support of nearby nations.
True, but nobody recognizes the Faroe Islands as independent. The UN (and USA) technically recognizes Niue.
Re. Free association isn’t Niue basically the same like Palau/Marshall Islands/Micronesia except with no separate citizenship?
-
The United States has officially recognized Niue as a country.
Could they join the 2028 Olympics? They are already a member of five federations (Judo, Rugby, Table Tennis, Weightlifting, Wrestling). Niue and the Cook Islands are uniquely classified by the UN as “non-member states”.
But, all Niueans are New Zealand citizens.

I think these are all very exciting choices. With cricket and football, it’s the first time the top 10 most viewed global sports will all be at the Olympics (in some form). It’ll be unprecedented. And removing breakdancing was the right call.
I can’t help but think about how confusing cricket will be to everyone in the Czech Republic 😋 I don’t even know the rules myself…
I don’t like that we are getting even more discount spin-off versions of popular sports (lacrosse 6s, flag football). Hurts the prestige of the Games IMO especially since they are barely developed at a high level

Never in my worst nightmares would have believe I will experience something like this...
this is a black day for Slovak sport
officially relegated to Division I B.
Poor Nela Lopušanová, imagine that, the girl who was not allowed to play this year yet by IIHF, will now lose 2 years before thinking about playing among the elite because yes, if Nela played here, we would be probably already celebrating the promotion into the top division... without Nela we are dropping to (without disrespect to other participants there) the absolute bottom...yes, this big is the impact of Lopušanová for our womens hockey, and she is barely 15 ! ...but, well, it happened, what happened, what can we do, next year "C" level. well, at least Nela will very likely explode her individual stats in this I.B. next year, prepare for some 8-10 points per match..
Women's WCh: Total (blamage) embarrassment is completed. Slovak women's hockey players were relegated to an even lower category
They wanted to advance to the Top Division, they were relegated to the 3rd tier. Slovakian women's hockey players failed completely at the World Champs
This also means in the ranking Slovakia will fall to 16th and so will likely have to play two rounds of Olympic qualification. Because I think the IIHF is holding spots for Russia and Belarus.
These are apparently the Round 1 groups for the men (confirmed in part here and here). The UAE, ranked 39th, is the highest seed in Round 1. The top 36 seeded teams get an automatic pass to Round 2 or higher. If you remove hosts Italy and Australia, who never enters, that works out to 36 teams above UAE, which must include Russia and Belarus.

I don't think I'll be watching these Games any more. Not that they aren't fun, but it's obvious from the Opening Ceremony and today's short track that they're all about making a genocidal regime look good + pulling whatever strings possible to get them medals.
There are just better things to do with my time than supporting that. Especially since I'm a child of refugees from Communism, got to have some self-respect Bye for now.

My God... wishing you a safe recovery @brunamoura, I'm so sorry this happened. Know that we are all rooting for you.

actually selected Josefin! No way. https://www.instagram.com/p/CY39IzBIhbY/
Apparently there is no age limit on the 'future criteria' as long as it's your first Olympics. https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/26-arig-konstakare-os-uttagen-som-framtidsnamn-inget-alderskrav

That dude in COB's livestream talked so damn long!!! My parents and I were anxiously waiting for half an hour before we finally got to cross country!
I mean, after yesterday we knew....but you never know until you KNOW
Of course they choose a picture of Bruna from the Engadin horror race
Nah but seriously, congratulations @brunamoura! It was a long hard journey and you really deserve it. Hope the Olympics go safely (and you get some TV time).

athlete gets 150.16 FIS points in his first ever FIS race, *the day* before the qualifying deadline. He can only do one other race tomorrow, so I think he'd have needed an average of 100 points.

I remember reading a French NOC document and concluding that Bessard didn't meet the federation's requirements, so her spot would be reallocated. But now I can't find it.
-
Both Trusova and Scherbakova had beautiful programs... but I can't help but feel the PCS is way overscored. Especially with the mistakes.

If my calculations are correct (and luckily this season so far they generally are), that should result in these points:
Jaque 103,36 Bruna 186,36 Mika 218,28 Duda 241,58 Putting Bruna roughly 140 points ahead of Duda in the internal ranking now (I'll wait a little with that until the points are on the FIS website and I enter them in my table)!
Awesome! How did you get it sorted in the end? Did the federation come through?
-
Sara Ponya is still not eligible for the Olympics, but she is starting in biathlon's IBU Cup tomorrow. Not sure if she knows she needs better FIS points or not.
Fingers crossed for Bruna. I'll say a prayer.

Interesting, since earlier today 'we' were told that the races are likely to be cancelled....
Do you know if there is any way to contact this TSK Ravno Gorac/Ravnogorac? I tried an email last week, but got no answer.
By the way, she arrived in Zlatibor last night after a 19-hour trip, and this morning was told she wasn't registered for the races by the Brazilian federation. Apparently the 'coach' of the team had told the federation's 'registration guy' "No, nobody is going to Serbia ". Luckily it seems she managed to solve this right on time with help of the (very friendly and very helpful!) Serbian organization, if she had arrived today it would have been too late...
It's now going to come down to this for the second ticket, basically:
1) Bruna in Zlatibor vs Duda in Zakopane during the week
2) Whoever vs whoever (not sure yet) in Ravna Gora (if not cancelled), Bad Mitterndorf (AUT) or, most likely, Zweisimmen-Sparenmoos (SUI) during the final weekend
Try Robert Kerstajn the technical delegate? I messaged you his contact info I found.
