    • Sara Schmied misses the 2nd run at the WC in Altenberg, coming in 26th place, leaving her with 491 points.   That means:    Zunte is already qualified as she got more points already.  Andzane needs to finish 29th or better in today's EC race to qualify  Burger needs to finish 23rd or better in today's EC race to qualify.  Delka qualified for the 2nd run in Altenberg in 24th place and thus has already more points, unless she crashes.  Johansen needs to finish 13th or better in today's EC race to qualify.  Simmchen also qualified for the 2nd run in Altenberg in 22nd place but needs to finish at least in 15th place to be impactful.

    • no, it's hockey! and it doesn't work that way you can even field Bobrovsky in the net, Makar and Josi on D and McDavid, Draisaitl and Crosby on offence and they wouldn't win a single match all alone a good Hockey team needs at least a great goalie and 3 blocks (2 d-men and 3 forwards each) to be competitive at this level 2 or 3 stars paired with amateurs can do absolutely nothing   and as I wrote many times, you can be on top of every sport...this one is not made for the Italian people: we simply don't have infrastructures, players, money and media/popular interest  hockey in Italy (intended as a whole Country) just doesn't exist, any speculation about Italy and hockey is only a big waste of time
