Emil would be a great addition Artem always reminds me of Hancock's approach "gate and go " but at least it would stop all the moaning about them not being in !

Agree,but he has been World Champ and it was no fluke and never been able to defend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaculik has been dreadful so far this season and has been in the series many years, failed to qualify and to me doesn't deserve to be in next year ahead of others. If Emil and Artem get wildcards that would also be great. When the US are not even participating in the SoN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teijahn Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) It's a farce rather than a genuine Championship since the clowns in charge interfered in politics by eliminating the then World #1 & 3. Both still in good enough form to suggest they are among the top 15 in the world. Given their absence, here's my pick for 2026: GP7 BZ BK FL DB JH AL MF/RL SEC PD SGPC DK LM KW (AL) MJJ WC3 MF/RL MM/AT ??? Hopefully WC's are picked on form (including League form), rather than an FIM need to promote based on geography, however I can't foresee them choosing a 4th Dane, and geography might mean Kvech or Vaculik, despite his lack of competitiveness this season. If AL can overtake PD in the SEC, then Dudek really should get a WC. Beyond the obvious, if selectors were inclined to fresh blood over marginals, then Drabik or Piotr Pawliscki have good enough league form to suggest they could be competitive.
