The new country first appearance under the 5 rings was 1 year after its establishment. In Lillehammer 1994 We were represented by 42 athletes, Although we Did not win any medal, we managed to earn 2 Olympic points for two 6th places, The first point ever was achieved by Biathlete Martina Jašicová in the W 15km Individual, the other one was grabbed by the Ice Hockey team... which originally was not even supposed to be there, After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, Some idiots in the international federation decided that the successor country will be ONLY the Czech Republic. Slovakia despite the popularity of the sport and well established great players was moved down to the world "C" Division, which was taken here as a huge insult and humiliation.... Slovakia was not even invited for the Olympics Qualifiers. Our NOC, Hockey Federation, Governement and some legends including Peter Štastný who returned from Canadian defection started an unprecedented "Lobby" war everywhere it was necessary, even at the UN and we succeeded, IOC and LIHG (IIHF predecessor) agreed to take us a chance at the Final Olympic qualifier in Sheffield. History know, we won this tournament and won the only available ticket for Lillehammer. and there we won the preliminary group ahead of and , sadly lost the unforgettable Quarterfinal in the very last 10th minute of Overtime to . Ended 6th. But despite not winning the medal, we succeeded to expose the whole LIHG in front of the whole world for the wrong they committed against us. PS: Slovakia entered the world Top division in the shortest time possible, 2 years later after destroying the fields in the "C" Division after the Olympics 1994 and the next year also the "B" Division in 1995. And then...Since its first participation among the Elite in 1996 Slovakia was never relegated from the Top division First ever Olympic Appearance (1994 Lillehammer) represented 42 athletes, Flag bearer the legendary Peter Šťastný, who represented 3 countries in his career, Czechoslovakia, after his defection in the 70s Canada where he became one of the best world players in history of this sport, and almost at his 40 after the fall of communism, he returned back to his homeland and led the new Slovakia in its first international hockey major campaign 25th July 1996, Independent Slovakia won its first Olympic Medal. Shooter Jozef Gonci took Bronze in the Rifle Prone event and after the first Winter came also the First Summer Olympics appearance of the country. In Atlanta 1996. The games where Slovakia managed to win its first medals (Including the first ever independent Slovak Olympic Champion). The 25th Jule 1996, in the Rifle Prone Shooting Jozef Gonci won Bronze medal and became the first Olympic medalist of the new nation. 2 days later the 16 years old rookie Michal Martikán won Gold in the Canoeing Slalom M C1 event at the Ocoee river, who would have guessed this kid will win 4 more medals at the next consevutive 4 Olympic Games. The very last day of the Games, Slovakia won its last 3rd medal of Atlanta 96. Slavomír Kňazovický earned Silver in the Canoeing Sprint C1-500 meters. First Olympic Champion Michal Martikán at 16, won Gold in the Canoeing Slalom C1 and started his crazy Olympic journey which continued by Silver in 2000, Silver in 2004, Gold in 2008 and Bronze in 2012. He is still active and dream about Paris 2024 btw
