The decision follows his interim head coach role at the 2025 IIHF World Championship and is another signal from the Slovak hockey authorities toward planning. With NHL players returning for the Olympics, Slovakia now hopes to regain the bronze medal-winning form under his stewardship from 2022. Vladimir Orszagh's journey from player to Olympic coach In his first act as the full-time head coach, replacing an ailing Ramsay toward the end of the 2025 World Championship, Vladimir Orszagh now takes the helm for the upcoming Olympics. Slovakia ranked 11th out of 16 in that tournament-they were hardly at their best-but it gave Orszagh that great international experience. He knows the national setup well as the former assistant coach to Ramsay during the 2018 Olympics and several World Championship campaigns. Orszagh's coaching bio will tell you that he spent the 2022-23 season coaching in the top-tier league in Slovakia, Banská Bystrica, in his second season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Die intelligentere Art, Ihre Anlageziele zu erreichen eToro Learn More Undo As a player, he had a solid career, producing 119 points in 289 NHL contests from 1997 through 2006 with the New York Islanders, Nashville Predators, and St. Louis Blues. Orszagh competed internationally for Slovakia five times at the World Championships and also at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. Early, rather than mature, 2026 Olympic roster composition in balance with a mix of experience and youth Slovakia has already named six Olympic roster players worthy of mention for having NHL years behind them as defense, while promising forwards are being named to the team. Erik Cernak, Martin Fehervary, and Simon Nemec will take care of the blue line, while the offensive line of Martin Pospisil, Juraj Slafkovsky, and veteran Tomas Tatar will soak up the glory. With a few more announcements to come later this year, this core group already shows that Slovakia wants to mix the old with the young on the big stage. The event to be held from February 11 to 22 will be the return of Slovakia to NHL-level Olympic-level competitions. The team will seek, under Orszagh, to follow in the footsteps of finishing 3rd at the event in 2022 or any better ranking.

The challenge lies in propelling forward a legacy left by Craig Ramsay while developing a respectable road to success for the national team. FAQs 1. Why did Vladimir Orszagh replace Craig Ramsay? Ans- Orszagh started as an interim coach when Ramsay went into illness during the 2025 World Championship and was then reinstated to the full-time position. 2.

Sarfaraz Khan's stunning transformation earns praise from ex-England great, sends message to Prithvi Shaw
Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan was often under the attack by users on social media for his fitness levels but the 27 year old has answered all his critics with a stunning transformation. The cricketer shared a picture of himself after seemed like a gym session and the difference was immediately noticeable as there was a lot of lost fat throughout his body. Sarfaraz then revealed that he had lost 17kgs of weight in just 2 months time which is a remarkable number in itslef. Notably, the right handed batter had made his way in the Indian side last year after scoring a mountain of runs in domestic cricket. However, despite his impressive performances in that series, the batter was not part of the Indian team for the five match Test series in England. Critics argued that Sarfaraz's fitness was a big factor in why he was not preferred by the selectors. With his transformation journey, however, the batter once again found a way in the limelight and earned praise from not just social media users but also former England great Kevin Pietersen. Kevin Pietersen on Sarfaraz's transformation: Commenting on Sarfaraz's transformation in a post on X (formerly Twitter), Pietersen wrote, 'Outstanding effort, young man! Huge congrats and I'm sure it's going to lead to better and more consistent performances on the field. I love the time you've spent reorganising your priorities!' However, Pietersen also went on to add a bit of advice for another young Indian batter in his post, noting, 'LFG! 🚀 Can someone show Prithvi this please? It can be done! Strong body, strong mind!' he added. Unlike Sarfaraz Khan, Prithvi Shaw used to be a staple in the Indian side after he spotted early during the Under 19 days. Shaw first made a name for himself opening the batting for Delhi Capitals in the IPL and then went on to make his debut for India in all thee formats of the game. In 2019, Shaw was suspended by BCCI for eight months after testing positive for terbutaline, a banned sustance, which he claimed to have ingested via an over the counter cough syrup. However, in the last few years Shaw's out of field behaviour started gaining prominence as reports started circulating of the batter's disciplinary and fitness issues that eventually saw him getting dropped from Mumbai domestic teams and even led to no buyer bidding for him in the 2025 IPL. In the recent times, Shaw has vowed to turn things around. During an interaction with News 24 earlier in the year, he said, 'I am on track now. I have gone back to basics now. The hard work I used to do 5 years ago, I think I have started that routine again. I believe in myself. I don't know how many people believe in me or not. But I believe in myself. I know how to get there. That's why I am doing all this,'
