11 pages in the Diving thread ?!? why ? how ? wow... why ?

I observe people generally being more dumber every year, so that fit perfectly into

Always a super cool idea to make a selfie with the flying peloton

the lil sister said STOP ! enough is enough ! After Paja´s (rumored-very) unlikely return to the sport after this season break due pregnancy, this is the latest and last right-handed-direct K.O. and funeral farewell to slovak biathlon. so very likely already in Cortina biathlon participation streak will end but, yeah, In other hand, less money to biathlon, more money to hockey

Flowerkowski

Well, she arrived with high expectations here, probably her once in a lifetime chance to medal at "major" championship (and completely justified, after what I saw from here the whole season to today), so her tears were understandable but it is how it is, high level sport is also a matter of mental readiness and the ability to handle even the greatest pressure from the general public. This is another thing I noticed many times being the cause of failure of most of our athletes. In other hand she is still young and talented, I do believe this sorrowful experience can and will only help her in the future. I can bet my house she will never crash like that 2 hurdles from the line in the all rest of her life now

48 young athletes (26 boys and 22 girls) will represent the country from under the Tatras in Maribor. Exactly 10 are returning from last year´s EYOF including 2 medalsists, Silver medalist Lenka Gymerská (G 400m - Pic 1) and Bronze medalist Anna Šimková (G Pole Vault) but the biggest medal hope of the delegation is Patrícia Tománková - PIC 2 (believe it or not, but current World Ranking leader in the -40kg Judo class in her age category) - do not ask me, I have no idea, how it is even possible Will be hard - impossible - to repeat last year success with 2 Golds, 1 Silver and 3 Bronzes. Especially the 2 Golds won last summer (both by our Tennis prospect Renáta Jamrichová in Singles and Mixed Doubles) is an amount which will hardly be achieved in the near future Team Slovakia Athletics Boys: Martin Varhaník (100 m) Lukáš Rosenbaum (5000 m Race Walk) Peter Dávid (110 m Hurdles, 200 m) Filip Jančík (3000 m) Samuel Krepop (400 m) Alex Hulka (2000 m Steeplechase) Peter Csikós (800 m) Girls: Lenka Gymerská (400 m, Relay) Tamara Indrišková (5000 m race Walk) Laura Frličková (100 m Hurdles, Relay) Eliška Gašpárková (400 m Hurdles, Relay) Romana Hrnčárová (100 m, 200 m, Relay) Ema Vaňová (Heptathlon, Relay) Anna Šimková (Pole Vault) Ema Bendová (Long Jump, Relay) Mountainbike Cycling Boys: Peter Šoltés (cross country) Girls: Vanesa Šatková (cross country) Road Cycling Boys: Jakub Javor (Road Race, Time Trial) Dominik Sochan (Road Race, Time Trial) Jakub Mikuš (Road Race, Time Trial) Girls: Miriam Šichtová (Road Race, Time Trial) Barbora Pavlisová (Road Race, Time Trial) Tereza Ďuríková (Road Race, Time Trial) Artistic Gymnastics Boys: Peter Kremnický (All-Around) Sebastián Samson (All-Around) Judo Boys: Roman Dekan (-60 kg) Juraj Odkladal (-66 kg) Matej Pecha (-90 kg) Girls: Patrícia Tománková (-40 kg) Lili Kristína Križová (-44 kg) Ella Markovicsová (-52 kg) Nina Filkorová (-70 kg) Swimming Boys: Richard Urban (1500 m FS, 4x100 m FS) Tomáš Pavelka (1500 m FS) Mário Minárik (100 m BR, 200 m IM, 4x100 m Med) Jakub Stanko (100 m BR, 200 m BR) Adam Černák (100 m Fly, 200 m Fly, 200 m BR, 4x100 m Med, 4x100 m Med Mixed) Milan Vojtko (200 m IM, 400 m IM, 100 m BS, 4x100 m FS, 4x100 m FS Mixed, 4x100 m Med, 4x100 m Med Mixed) Oliver Tomas (200 m FS, 100 m FS, 4x100 m FS, 4x100 m FS Mixed, 4x100 m Med) Oliver Gray (100 m Fly, 200 m Fly, 4x100 m FS) Girls: Sára Orosz (400 m IM, 800 m FS, 200 m FS, 4x100 m FS, 4x100 m FS mixed) Sophia Gray (100 m Fly, 200 m Fly, 4x100 m FS) Stela Megelová (200 m BS, 200 m IM, 4x100 m FS, 4x100 m FS Mixed, 4x100 m Med Mixed) Nadine Horňáková (100 m BS, 200 m BS, 100 m Fly, 4x100 m FS, 4x100 m Med Mixed) Tennis Boys: Peter Zavacký (Singles, Doubles) Šimon Dióssy (Singles, Doubles) Girls: Soňa Depešová (Singles, Doubles) Mia Pohánková (Singles, Doubles)

Nice jinx from the commentators our sole medal hope gone just like that by crashing at the 8th hurdle while being clearly in the lead... ...so yeah, Back to nothing as usual Hockey season starts soon

Latest rumors saying Russian are intending to organize their own Olympics sort of BRICS nations games and they already picked a date and venue for the games, 1 month before the Olympics in Paris and the games will be in Kazan. They apparently already also invited and some others. Yeah, all in all, once again, I really don´t mind, but hope they will do the same also in January/February 2026

So we have our Luis Suarez too it seems Juraj Kucka and his Dracula-like bite yesterday in the Champions League 1st pre-qualifying round against LUX champion... I swear, that Slovan Bratislava just can not stop on regular basis invent new ways how to embarass this country https://streamin.me/v/34970d32

IOA as usual I guess. No idea but hopefully everything will end well and their suspension will be lifted before the games

group a group every contenders dream to have

and will not receive formal invitation for the next year SOG. IOC stated today However, Obviously, the most important question in all of this is - yes, you got it ! Will RUS qualify in Ice Hockey for Cortina ? and that sentence I took the liberty of highlighting in red, gives me some little minor hope we could possibly avoid the tricking qualifiers Will the Russian and Belarusian NOCs receive an invitation for the Olympic Games Paris 2024 when the invitations are sent on 26 July 2023? The current IOC recommendations for International Federations and international sports event organisers on the participation of athletes with a Russian or Belarusian passport in international competitions do not concern the participation of athletes and their support personnel with a Russian or Belarusian passport at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 or the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. The IOC will take this decision at the appropriate time, at its full discretion, and without being bound by the results of previous Olympic qualification competitions. The invitations to the 203 eligible NOCs will be sent on 26 July 2023. For the reasons given, this will exclude the NOCs of Russia and Belarus, plus the NOC of Guatemala, which is currently suspended.

She is really amazing since last year´s EYOF

Productive week for Richard Tury. 2nd last week in the WC in Prague and yesterday NASS Festival win in Bristol #InParis2024WeSeriouslyBelieveThisTime

mini-Team for the worlds composed of 7 Swimmers, 4 M and 3 W left Vienna International Airport very early this morning. Names will not say you a lot I guess, so no need to introduce them specially, the most known are obviously our 2 universality places Tokyo Olympians Richard Nagy (second from Right) and Breaststroke specialist Andrea Podmaníková (4th from left) M: Richard Nagy (400 IM, 200 Fly) Matej Duša (50 FS, 100 FS) Tibor Tišťan (50 Fly, 100 Fly) František Jablčník (200 FS, 200 IM) W: Tamara Potocká (50 Fly, 200 IM) Andrea Podmaníková (50 BR, 100 BR) Teresa Ivan (50 FS, 100 FS) Team Relays: Mixed 4x100 FS (Duša, Tišťan, Potocká, Ivan) Mixed 4x100 Medley (Potocká, Podmaniková, Tišťan, Duša) Overal. No surprise, there zero expectations as usual, last time we had 3 Top 20 results, so something similar would be fine, extending it with more Top 20 results would be great, a Semifinal would be miraculuous, anything better would be just ... yeah, will not happen Anyway, Good luck lads, and return home all and alive

Mini-team Slovensko composed of 13 athletes is already in Espoo since yesterday morning. M 200m: Jakub Nemec (40th best SB out of the 47 entries) 400m Hurdles: Denis Bartek (30th best SB out of the 30 entries) Shot Put: Karel Šula (15th best SB out of the 15 entries) W 100m: Agáta Cellerová (24th best SB out of the 32 entries) 200m: Lenka Kovačovicová (30th best SB out of the 30 entries) 100m Hurdles: Viktória Forster (2nd best SB out of the 40 entries) 400m Hurdles: Andrea Švecová (41st best SB out of the 41 entries) Long Jump: Monika Lehenová (23rd best SB out of the 35 entries) Shot Put: Natália Váleková (16th best SB out of the 20 entries) 20km Race Walk: Alžbeta Ragasová (12th best SB out of the 23 entries), Karin Devaldová (22nd best SB out of the 23 entries) 4x100m Team Relay: (Forster, Lehenová, Kovačovicová, Alternates for the last leg: Viktória Strýčková, Martina Segečová) 13 Nations entering Not a lot of expectations overall, since majority of the team having the worst SB of all participants in their events, but, there still 1 name we are all looking forward. The former youth National Team Biathlete, nowadays fully on athletics focusing newest rocket Viki Forster. dad, mom, She did qualify in all her events 100 dash, 200 and 100 Hurdles + obvioulsy the relay. However even if she still run all mentioned events and still did not pick entirely her focus on one single choice, for this championship she decided to try only the 100 Hurdles in which she already destroyed the Seniors National record lately. Former Buenos Aires Youth olympian and 6th from the Nairobi Junior Worlds in the 100m is definitely our newest rising star. At the European Games for god knows which reason was not picked for the 100 Hurdles, which was in my eyes still a criminal act mistake, she wrote the history books with her 1st leg of the 4x100 realy where she knocked the fastest time overall. + this season is repeatedly beating the hurdles NRs including the senior one.

Damn it In other hand finally a win at TdF after 5 years droughts and symbolic win for Bilbao in a edition whch started in Basque Country
