Besides the competition administration of the running seasons he processed many old competitions for the statistics in the database of Shorttrackonline. As an example: in the normal situation a competitors steward in general is doing 10 to 15 competitions in a season; In the past two seasons Juraj has processed 108 Competitions for its results and statistics on our website! We are very thankful for the great job he did for our sport of Shorttrack. Our thoughts go out to his wife Beata and his son and daughter Andrej and Alexandra.

Sebra Sports sponsor of Overall Classification StarClass
In the past years the company SEBRA Sports has been an important supporter and sponsor of the StarClass series. The StarClass series consist of 3 competitions for the younger category and 3 competitions for the elder category. The overall result of 2 competitions out of 3 decides who qualifies for the Europa Cup final. Besides this also an Overall classification over all 3 competitions is made up. The best 10 skaters of each age-category after 3 competitions received a SEBRA gift-voucher for buying all kinds of skating materials. Besides a contribution of the different Competition organizers SEBRA Sports paid a big part of the costs of this Overall classification.  We would like to thank SEBRA Sports for their support to the StarClass series.
