Slovenian Slovenes refuse to sign a representation contract. There is still a risk that they can not start the World Cup.
The controversy in the Slovakian biathlon continues to burn. Now there are key Facebook actors. Paulina and Ivona Fialkovi are still preparing for the new season, which will begin in Pokljuce in two weeks, but there is a real danger that Slovak assistants will not get involved in the World Cup. They still do not have a signed representation contract – and I can not start without it.
"With regard to the information mediated by the Slovak Biathlon Association regarding the non-inclusion of the Treaty on the Representation of Slovakia, we have to say, after massive misinformation in the press, that the association rules prohibit athletes from expressing their prejudice and so we can not comment more deeply on the current situation, He emphasizes the assistance of Fialkov in introducing the statement he publishes on Facebook.
Both Slovak biathletes have only to fully trust their employers, the Dukla University in Banská Bystrica and the law firm that represents them and tries to agree with the union.
"We want to emphasize that the opportunity to represent Slovakia, the opportunity to present the Union of Biathlon, its sponsors and partners is a matter of honor, sport pride and gratitude for the conditions that have been created for me", says Paulina Fialkova at the Olympic Games from Phenian was fifth, and in the spring of the World Championship in Tumen, the second ended.
"Since the beginning of this dispute, we declare that we agree with all parties to the contract that define our responsibilities in Slovakia's sports representation without any reservations and will accept all the public partners of the association without any reservation." There is no reward on the basis of the agreement union, "say the Fialkovers.
"But there are things we can not accept, the Biathlon Association knows about them and we have not received any response from them until now," says Fialkov without further details. According to speculation by the Slovak press, however, there is a problem in presenting the personal sponsors of both biathlonists.
We welcome you from Lenzerheide (SUI), where our final training takes place before the start of the IBU 2018/2019 World Cup.
Regarding the media information of the Slovak Biathlon Federation regarding the failure to sign the Slovak Repatriation Agreement, we have to say, after a massive amount of misinformation in the media, that the rules of the association prohibit the expression of athletes in their interests and we can not comment more or less the current situation. We have no choice but to fully trust our employer Dušan Banská Bystrica and our legal representative in the legal firm within the Garant Partner who continues to work with the union.
We would like to emphasize that the opportunity to represent Slovakia, the opportunity to present the biathlon union, its sponsors and partners is a matter of honor, sport pride and the conditions created so far. Since the beginning of this dispute, we declare that we agree with all the parties to the contract that define our responsibilities in Slovak sports representation. We also unreservedly accept all the advertising partners of the association. We will be proud to present them during the event with pride, even if we have no rewards for us under the trade union agreement. But there are things we can not accept. The Biathlon Federation knows about them and we have not received any response from them so far.
I think that even if the process failed successfully and the union would forbid us to represent Slovakia, the example of our story would be a sign that it is incompatible with the basic principles of sport to condition the right to represent their homeland by signing a contract which can not be discussed, shop with athletes. In this case, the sport in Slovakia is in the wrong way. We believe that this crucial contradiction for us will be solved by competent people, so that we can focus our attention on the best performances in strong global competition.
Thank you for your support.
Paja and Ivka

"I think that even if the process itself failed and the trade union would forbid us to represent Slovakia, the example of our story would be a sign that it is incompatible with the basic principles of sport to make the right to represent its country through signing a contract that can be discussed, trade with athletes, "adds Fialkovy.
"In this case, the sport in Slovakia is on the wrong path and we believe that this crucial contradiction for us will be solved by the competent people, so that we athletes will focus on the best performances in strong world competition", concludes Fialkovy.
The Slovak Biathlon Association has already warned earlier this week that all other competitors have signed the unconditional representation agreement, including the three-time Olympic winner Anastasia Kuzmin.
However, the administration of Banskobystrická Dukla suspended the fact that the text of the treaty was not approved by the Union officials in due time, but only in mid-September, when preparations for the new season were already under way.
