Haha, It would be probably the same here for me before, but I have heard that name here before so I knew he is kinda NBA star or so. But probably the only basketball player I know playing at this Olympics

Well, the female alternate ended by qualifying to the W 20km race, so she will compete in paris whatever, so it is only about Úradník the male alternate who was repeched by our federation/NOC and will still compete in Paris without originally qualifying there

lol the scam/trick our federation and NOC invented today Despite having qualified only 27 athletes in all sports we will still compete in Paris with 28 athletes ! Do not know who was exactly the conman which came with it but we found out a "whole in the system" Miroslav Úradník who failed to qualify in Race Walk M 20Km was selected as "AP Category" travelling alternate for the Mixed Relay Černý/Burzalová, but since Černý managed to qualify also in the M 20KM, everybody decided that hey, let´s do a trick and let Úradník compete in the Mixed Relay with Černý´s fiancee Burzalová. So Despite only 5 athletes qualifed, 6 SVK athletes will at the end compete in athletics, and everything is entirely fine within the rules https://www.olympic.sk/clanok/atletika-oh-2024-nominacia

Simply based on the fact that it is just undoable. The qualifiers will be conducted in larger qualifying shooting range which are not built for TV broadcasts

1) Day 15 2) Day 15 3) maybe summer 2036 4) Second week will have a coupe of days without SVK participation. Unusually, this time the majority of our athletes have competition the first week and around middle weekend. Days 11 and 16 are already without our participation (even if day 11 have Boxing semifinals but it is quite brave to not say delusional to believe Jessica will make it so far, that´s almost impossible) Reminder of SVK schedule, which will be regularly adjusted. (You can see that from Day 10 the Slovak building is going to be an empty ghost place SVK DAY BY DAY SCHEDULE )

I really don´t know why I am wasting my time and mood with these discussions. all, simply because I dared not to like an athlete at least 3 quarters of that sport comunity dislike I´m done with this, I have anther things to do, so sorry for shocking your souls by disliking one Australian athlete I will go to confession one of those Sundays to repent, Long live to W C1 and Kayak Crosses the new bright future of the sport and to Agenda 2020, the best thing which happened to the world of Olympics. We fine now ?

At that time nobody new events will be dropped to be replaced by kayak cross, at that time kayak cross did not even existed. Yes but she would not medal in this case, they would hardly even finish a race without drowing. C2 and Naomi´s K1 are two different worlds. It depend from which point of view you look at it. This does not make sense from sporting view, C2 is (well sorry, Was) the most demanding discipline for coordination, strength, technique and skill, it requires a long preparation and a crew of the same quality level. it was the top event of the sport. Womens C1 was a joke event (at that time like today Kayak Cross).

Yeah, and for that among the plans with W C1 were also the "promised attempt to develop" W C2 or as plan B the Mixed C2 to save the pinnacle of the sport the C2, but it did not work well for a certain paddler, so suddenly and silently the plan was removed and C2 entirely sacrified (even if the mixed C2 program started and was in the schedule of WC and major events and retransformed paddlers did not know about that, believing it is safe and started to focus on this new event), everything suddenly changed C2 was cut and every energy and sources were pushed only for the W C1 to become a main event despite having horrendous level, except for a certain paddler who obviously started to dominate the event by huge gap

Superb assist from Guler and goal header of Akaydin. Istanbul..ehm, Berlin arena literally exploded

Look, I can get over many things, she is an amazing paddler, none is denying that, but what is happening during her entire career is absolutely disgusting. For me personally the top is Especially the way her parents lobbyied to remove immediatelly the C2 by thrusting daggers into the backs of those athletes who believed on their help and all that silently only on the purpose of the non existant W C1 just for the sole purpose to make their daughter the eternal glorified super star. There is a lot of gossip circulating in the backstages about her family´s influence in the rulling of this sport. It is clear to me that not everything has to be true obviously, but yeah... I know in many different federation there a solid anger build toward her and her family. Not even speaking about the former C2 comunity, they would have their say on certain dubious maneuvers coming from the Fox´s entourage for sure... but yeah, I'm not a fan of her, but I'm not forcing anyone to follow me so let it be. She will win a couple of medals in Paris anyway, maybe even 3 golds at the end

I told myself, you can resist, you can resist, only a quarter hour to go... but, nope, I had to go...it was 0-0...Returning from bathroom to see it is 1:1 I guess, from now on it will resume into the "before toilets story" boredom

oh and how I could forget about her majesty Jessica "my parents runs the sport andwill change any rule which does not suit to me and you must look happy while celebrating me because I am the greatest of this sport" Fox
