Not sure where to put this but Russia Women’s team is banned from World Championships top division. Sweden take their place instead and will play in  WCH top division next time. 

 

All changes in the tournaments due the war can be read here:

Sweden’s goalie Wallstedt has tested positive for Covid-19. :yikes:

 

Now he’s not able to go home to Sweden. He needs to be in quarantine for 10 days in Canada before going home. :(

I understand your disappointement. I am very disappointed as well. but the thing is that the way they started to handle the covid positive cases was not fair at all.

 

Just imagine one (I repeat only 1, maybe even the third goalie for example) of your players being for some reason tested positive before the quarterfinal. Your opponent will be awarded the win 1-0 and end the tournament for Sweden. Would be this fair ? I do not think so. And this is exactly what happened in the forfeited 3 matches, CZE and RUS had 1 positive case, USA 2 cases but their teams lost on the table 0-1. For me this is not only utterly stupid, totally absurd but also completely unfair. This just completely influenced and compromised the tournament´s sport integrity. 

Still it’s unfair to example Sweden.

 

The team did bad good then the tournament were cancelled lol. Let’s start again and see if the results will be in our favour. 

 

Agree with the way the handle this was stupid. But what now?? It’s still stupid.
