Wikipedia lists Madagascar in the nation list. They told me they wanted to go as 'observer nation', but they have basically no money at all and FISU and the Organizing Committee are outright ignoring them and their requests for some sort of help.

 

South Africa is on the list on Wikipedia as well, but they've also answered my email today by saying they won't be there. 

 

Bruna Moura will represent Brazil in cross-country (sadly not in biathlon, but alright). She told me there's one other Brazilian athlete who will be there and she was convinced that it was a speed skater, but I really have no idea who that could be...the guy in Japan and the German/Brazilian guy seem to be too young? :mumble:

Maybe something like what Madagascar was planning, but probably has to forget now.

Excuse my ignorance, but how did GB have ice hockey teams, in the 2 genders no less. :d Are there really that many nations that refuse to participate in the Universiade?

Good question :d as I know, there no qualifications, the thing is to have a tournament of max 12 mens teams and 8 womens teams, so they probably just invite the different countries, plus, remember this is about universiade, so it´s not so easy to form a team of students and send them to play a tournament :d we have a university hockey league including teams from Poland, Austria, Czech republic and Hungary, so we have not problems to creat a team.

I’m pretty sure the teams are here through invitation. College teams are also a bit different so using the world ranking is a bit unfair. At the last Winter Universidad the US women’s team failed to reach the semi-final. An unthinkable feat had it been their true team.

    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.
    • This video is just about the poic "Russia-Ukraine Crisis Consequences in Sports"

    • Team Slovakia   Goaltenders:   Leonardo Roberto Henriquez (Green Bay Gamblers, )  Alan Lenďák (Fargo Force, )  Michal Prádel (Tri City Storm, )    Defencers:   Adam Beluško (Green Bay Gamblers, )  Michal Čapoš (Wenatchee Wild, )  Andrej Fabuš (HC Slovan Bratislava) Adam Goljer (HK Dukla Trenčín) Adam Kalman (HC Nové Zámky) Filip Kovalčík (Drummondville Voltiguers, )  Matúš Lisý (Red Deer Rebels, )  Luka Radivojevič (Boston College, )          Forwards:   Jakub Dubravík (Vlci Žilina - Juniors) Alex Gašo (Mountfield HK, ) Ján Chovan (Sudbury Wolves, )  Tomáš Chrenko (HK Nitra) Michal Liščinský (HC Košice) Alex Mišiak (Erie Otters, )  Samuel Murín (Tri City Storm, )  Adam Nemec (HK Nitra) Tobias Pitka (Northern Michigan University, )  Tomáš Pobežal (Kingston Frontenacs, )  Andreas Straka (Quebec Remparts, )  Michal Svrček (Brynäs IF Gävle, )  Tobias Tomík (Vancouver Giants, )  Lukáš Tomka (HC’05 Banská Bystrica)
    • Slovakia pulled the goalie out in the Overtime and played 4 vs 3  for more than 2 minutes    We suddeenly pulled out goalie and have control of the puck for like 2 minutes in the first 2 minutes of the overtime but without soring than lost the puck and give up a 2 on 0 breakaway empty net goal for the czechs    Interesting strategy 
    • The doomongering made what I post on here seem positive. Everything possible to go wrong was predicted fo go wrong.
