Almost nothing is allowed in the campaign, I’ll just talk to the athletes and try to get as many votes as possible. I firmly believe “Athletes will reflect on my work for their benefit over the last nine years. I can only hope that they will be willing to give me their vote.” said Danka Barteková after the end of the Olympic competition in sketches on the website of SOŠV olympic.sk.

There can be only one candidate from one country, four athletes from four different sports will be elected.
