Hockey has a much larger footprint than many sports including basketball and volleyball.  Yes, most arenas in North America are versatile enough that they work for both hockey and basketball.  And then in the rare instances they need more floor space, such as for a concert, they can make that work too

Ya but European-style arenas are bad for the sports that are popular in Europe (basketball, handball, volleyball) too. There is always a ton of empty space between the court and the spectators.

Seen plenty of football stadiums for them like that as well.  That's why it's next to impossible to build a suitable large scale athletics venue in the United States.  None of these billion dollar NFL stadiums would every leave that much room between the stands and the playing field

Literally NOBODY in Poland builds an arena for hockey alone. It doesn't make any sense.

 

The multi-purpose arena (cap. 11,500) nearest to where I live:

 

Hockey:

ah, those non-rectangular arenas! another thing I really hate, even more than those needing to remove a full stand to adapt to the ice rink...

 

worse than this, only the fully rounded arenas you can find especially in Brazil, thanks to the influence of the (in)famous architect Oscar Niemeyer...

Lmao, why would China prepare an extravagant venue for a sport that only 0.0000001% of the 1.4 Billion Chinese care about aka ice hockey. 

That makes it exactly 1.4 Chinese people who care about it, is that the only one non-bought Chinese on their hockey team + his child?

Well, considering how extravagant the ski jumping hill is, I guess by that logic 99.9999999% of the Chinese must care about it.

  • 2 weeks later...

Tonight I went out for dinner and drinks (mostly drinks) with some friends in Wukesong, where the Wukesong Hockey Arena is located.  Wukesong isn't really  a neighbourhood, it's a purposefully made nightlife area (though they close by 11pm apparently...).  It is sunken and has tons of "foreign" restaurants and bars, and an Ikea.  It is a 15 minute scooter ride from my place.  

 

The Japan/Czechia hockey game was just finishing up when I got there.  Here are some pics of the venue.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
