@hckosice Are you gonna visit a match, you think? :)

I'm trying to win the award for most obvious question of the year.

 

 

Strong rumors going that Slovakia will play all Preliminary Round matches in Košice :d because last time in 2011 they played in Bratislava, this time they want change it and bring the NT to the east part of the country. https://sport.sme.sk/c/20825220/slovensko-by-na-ms-v-hokeji-2019-malo-hrat-v-kosiciach.html

 

After the quarterfinals it looks like we will have RUS, SWE ?, CZE, GER ?, LAT, SVK, AUT and ITA  in the group Košice

and CAN, FIN, USA ?, SUI ?, NOR, DEN, FRA, GBR in the group Bratislava

but other rumors are saying that Austria will be seeded to Bratislava (so 80km from Vienna) and replaced by FRA in Košice. Pretty sure the same will happen with the Czech team, in this case it will be replaced by USA in Košice...but lets wait, everything will be official after the current tournament and we still have to wait for the final rankings of the 4 semifinalists here to know the real seedings of SWE, USA, SUI, GER

And it´s Official !!!!

 

Slovakia will play all preliminary round matches in KOŠICE !!!!  can you even believe it ? I can not even describe the feeling when I heard the official news in the radio. Wow I feel like a kid that everyone forgets in a pastry shop the whole night or so  :d this is really something that can happen only once in a life

 

https://www.new-iihf.com/en/events/2018/wm/news/3359/groups-for-2019

 

Spoiler

Originally Slovakia had to play with RUS, SWE, CZE, SUI, LAT, AUT and ITA, in Bratislava was scheduled the group B with CAN, FIN, USA, GER, NOR, DEN, FRA and GBR

 

but the organizing committee has possibility to make some changes in order to protect it´s marketing interests, like put CZE and AUT to Bratislava near their border. there were two possible options and the organizing committee decided to swap SVK with NOR and just change the groups from Bratislava to Košice, so weĺl play CAN, FIN, USA, GER, DEN, FRA and GBR in Košice...

 

Anyway there still a slim problem, since apparently Canada is not happy with this decision and apparently already announced that they don´t want to play in Košice...

they could switch CAN and RUS and everybody would be happy, I guess...:d

 

p.s. for Italy these groups (RUS or CAN doesn't make any difference) are better than expected...having AUT and NOR in our group, gives us a more than slim chance to avoid relegation...honestly, those 2 teams are the only ones we can play with thinking that we can get a positive result against them...

 

p.p.s. I remember going to the Worlds here in Milan in 1994...it was an amazing and unforgettable experience...so, enjoy this opportunity as much as you can...;)

The only possible swap can be CAN for SWE, but I don´t see this realistic, They will certainly not have more fans than Sweden to put them in Bratislava

 

I was in 2011 at CAN-FRA game and it was something unbelievable, + I enjoyed every second of the tournament, I remember the French and Swiss fans making great atmosphere in the local pubs :d

 

But this will be even better with our National team. Hopefully I´ll grab some tickets. wow, I´m so excited :bounce:

      Totallympics after Milano Cortina 2026 - Will you keep visiting Totallympics before the next Olympic Games?

      By Sindo · Posted

      The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics have now officially come to an end. These were the fourth Winter Olympic Games since Totallympics was founded, and the eighth Olympic Games overall, including the Summer editions!   I truly hope you enjoyed these Games, and even more, that you enjoyed experiencing them here on Totallympics!    The Olympic period always brings strong emotions, both positive and negative. Passion is what makes sport special, but sometimes frustration can spill over into comments on the forum. I hope no one felt hurt or upset by other users’ posts. I did my best to act quickly by editing or removing provocative comments, but I may have missed something along the way. If anyone felt offended by a post that was not removed, I sincerely apologize.   Now, after a well-deserved rest, it’s time to look ahead. Our focus shifts to Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympic Games, and the road has already begun: the first direct Olympic qualification event starts in less than two weeks with the 2026 World Baseball Classic (check out our 2026 Qualification Calendar for all the details!), and many other indirect qualifications have already begun.   Some clubs were extremely active during the Games, and I hope you enjoyed following the Olympics together with your compatriots. Now it’s time to switch into “LA28 mode”! Please make sure your club includes a dedicated section for Los Angeles 2028, and feel free to start opening threads related to qualification events and early predictions. This is a great opportunity to attract new users, and whenever new members join Totallympics, I will make sure they are invited to their respective national club.   To create new sections or reorganize threads within a club, you need to be an “owner” of that club. But don’t let the name intimidate you, it’s much simpler than it sounds! Each club can have multiple owners, and it does not require any special skills or a significant time commitment. If you would like to help organize content, create new sections, or manage threads more efficiently, just contact me and I will gladly grant you the necessary permissions.   Also, if anyone would like to change their username, this might be the right time to do so, whether it’s a small adjustment (a letter, a number, capitalization) or a complete change, feel free to contact me. I can update it for you without the need to create a new account.    And finally, a classic post-Olympic question: Will you continue visiting Totallympics on the road to LA28?      Thank you to everyone who contributed during these weeks. The Games may be over, but the journey on Totallympics continues. I look forward to seeing you around the forum very soon!

      I do not agree. If more events, increase quotas. There are needed to qualify athletes minimum in top 30, not to have just 5 athletes/teams in competition. No more jokes as mixed aerials or men's relay cross country  Maybe decrease athletes per country in same event. To have 3 4bobs are too much, if i compare for example with 1 athletes per country in risky canoeing slalom
