Time to keep on shining for Alice Robinson

 

Is it tomorrow 10:00 CET yet?

Yes.

No big expectations from Petra Vlhová tomorrow, she sadly had to interrupt her preparation in the middle of september due surgery. she had to undergo nasal cavity surgery and hadn't trained at all for nearly three weeks.

Petra herself and Livio Magoni are saying being satisfied with a 5th-10th place. And immediately after Solden they are going for the last training camp they had originally planned before in order to be ready at 100% from Levi the 23rd Novemeber which will be the real start of the season for Petra.

According their own words she is now prepared and ready at 70%

Except for Kapustik they all look (from the name) like southern Slovaks (I mean, with Hungarian roots, though quite far as these names are a little bit far from the Hungarian spelling we're used to nowadays). Exactly the same point for the "Romanian" Csaba Szabo - I'm sure he's Hungarian origin (as well as Eduard Torok, who changed national team to Hungary lately).

Well, yeah, that´s not so easy to say, nowadays basically half of the country inhabitants has Hungarian origin family name , remember among the most frequent names here you should find the likes of Kovač (Kovacs), Nagy or for example Varga but it doesn´t must automatically mean they are originally from Hungarian minority, It is just some "heritage" of the Personal Names Magyarization held in the area during the 18-19th centuries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magyarization#The_Magyarization_of_personal_names

Also for the mentioned guys, after a brief look on their biographies, 3 of the guys are members of Banská Bystrica Ski Club and Siragi is from Ski Club Selce, cities in the middle of the country.

Our junior Sebastian Cabala (apparently a talent) set two under 17 European records At the European Under 23 Championships in Bucharest. He finished 7th in total in the -73kg class but managed 160 kg in CJ  290 kg in total, + equalled the snatch record 130kg. Nice and unusual 

and just won 3 medals in the W -76kg category. Nikola Seničová member of our special "Junior Olympic Hopes Project" won silver in total with 206kg, another silver in snatch 94kg and bronze in C&J 112kg

The younger of the former twins hockey superstars Daniel Sedin just improved his Marathon PB,

He finished the Amsterdam marathon (His second ever marathon after the one in Vancouver he ran with his brother Henrik last spring) under 3 hours ! 2:57:36 that´s some seriously impressive stuff

Oh boy, the Giro is going to be in Hungary close to Slovakia? Isn't that the area where there's a bit of....trouble?  I'm always confused about this thing.

Nah, this is just some ultra nationalistic crap of some morons on both sides easily manipulated and stimulated by stupid politicians, normal peoples don´t give two shits about things that happened more than a freaking century ago anymore...

First careers Giro d´Italia (including the first 3 stages few km from borders) confirmed

he also said he´ll still also race the TdF and is envisaging the Olympics road race 6 days later (rumors saying both Sagan bros will form our 2 mans Tokyo squad)

At least some Polish hills shouldn't be too far away I guess, that's something. Him doing this at age 12 shows he has some potential indeed, hopefully it helps in getting some sort of support from somewhere, outside Slovakia if needed.

Do you know how much they ask for one training session in Zakopane ?

No, jokes aside, the best, easiest option and more logical would be to just cross the river and ask for czech citizenship. He still has 3 years for that, the question is whether he will still want to continue doing this sport, because this will require maybe too much extreme effort and devotion from his parents in our current conditions around this sport

Slovakia has 1 young girl fighting for the Gold Medal!

 

Adela Vlasakova is in the girls cadets -54kg final (against Basmala Hassan)...

 

now I have a doubt...

 

I don't know if Slovakia has a finalist because the live streaming has been cancelled or if the streaming has been cancelled because Slovakia has a finalist?

must be a mistake, probably she is Slovenian

He’ll be eligible for the 2024 YOG, and then maybe the 2026 Winter Olympics (but I’d say 2030 is more realistic)

I don´t see him competing until 2024 mate. If he´ll not switch nationality. You can hardly compete or even just train without funds or any other help, this section is dead here.

SVK Male ski jumper yupiii still only 12 years old but apparently with some interesting potential, became the first ever to jump over 120m after Tomáš Zmoray 8 years ago   anyway he is currently officially the only one and sole active slovak male ski jumper, hope he wont give up too soon

SLOVAK ROAD TO TOKYO 2020 - SLOVENSKÁ CESTA DO TOKIA 2020

16th and 17th Qualified Athletes

TBD - ROAD CYCLING (ROAD RACE, INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIAL)

TBD - ROAD CYCLING (ROAD RACE)

O štarte uvažuje aj Sagan. Preteky s hromadným štartom na OH v Tokiu však budú veľmi náročné

Slovenská reprezentácia bude môcť postaviť na budúcoročných olympijských pretekoch s hromadným štartom dvoch cyklistov. Vyplýva to z kvalifikačných pravidiel Medzinárodnej cyklistickej únie (UCI) pre Tokio 2020.

Na základe rebríčka krajín podľa UCI za obdobie od 22. októbra 2018 po 22. október 2019 figuruje Slovensko na 24. pozícii a štáty na 22. až 32. priečke budú disponovať práve dvojicou miesteniek. V časovke dostane príležitosť jeden jazdec.

O účasti na OH 2020 v cestných pretekoch s hromadným štartom uvažuje aj trojnásobný majster sveta Peter Sagan.

Dlhá trať a vysoké stúpania

A to aj napriek tomu, že mužské preteky v Tokiu sa budú konať v sobotu 25. júla iba šesť dní po skončení Tour de France. Navyše organizátori pripravili pre cyklistov 234 km s náročným profilom a celkovým počtom 4865 výškových metrov.

Rovnaký počet cyklistov ako Slováci môžu na OH využiť aj Eritrejčania, Američania, Ekvádorčania, Portugalčania, Novozélanďania, Estónci, Alžírčania, Luxemburčania, Lotyši a Turci.

V štartovom poli pretekov bude figurovať dovedna 128 cyklistov, z toho 122 dostane možnosť prostredníctvom rebríčka krajín a zvyšní šiesti sa kvalifikujú na základe výsledkov kontinentálnych šampionátov v Afrike, Amerike a Ázii.

Najväčšie, päťčlenné, zastúpenie budú mať krajiny na prvom až šiestom mieste rebríčka (Belgicko, Taliansko, Holandsko, Francúzsko, Kolumbia a Španielsko). Služby štyroch cyklistov využijú reprezentácie zo siedmej až trinástej priečky.

Ženské cyklistky nebudú mať zastúpenie

Troch budú mať k dispozícii národné tímy umiestnené na 14. až 21. pozícii. Dvoch jazdcov postavia krajiny na spomenutom 22. až 32. mieste. Štáty na 33. až 50. priečke budú môcť nominovať do olympijských pretekov jediného jazdca.

V pretekoch s hromadným štartom žien Slovensko nebude mať zastúpenie, pretože miestenky dostane iba najlepších 22 krajín rebríčka. V časovke sa predstavia dokonca len cyklistky pochádzajúce z krajín v elitnej pätnástke.

UCI definitívne potvrdí kvóty pre jednotlivé národné olympijské výbory 15. novembra 2019 a krajiny budú mať mesiac na to, aby potvrdili, či miestenky využijú. UCI bude následne od 1. januára do 30. júna 2020 prerozdeľovať nevyužité kvóty.

Iran qualified in men's time trial instead of Luxembourg. Rest is okay, I think.

Fixed.

Thank you very much

Oh no, so unfair. Oh my gosh. Always against the Russians. 

Somehow it may be interesting and extremely followed in Slovakia (about the Beijing 2022 ofc) and the Ice Hockey qualifying ranking

Just now, dcro said:

 

Where have I heard that before?

This time the small difference is that it´s the Russians themselves saying that, so..
