First Event of World Hockey Series starts today in Salamanca, Mexico.

 

It features 5 teams in both men's and women's competition, with Canada being favorite in the first and USA in the second one to advance to the next round. The only "contender" in both tournaments will be the host teams, although they will need some luck to join their rivals in the next stage.

 

Personally, I would be happy if Mexican squads manage to concede 4 or less goals against the favorites and destroy the remaining opponents by at least that margin, in order for them to have some chance to qualify to 2019 Pan American Games.

 

For those interested here's livestream of the tournament.

I don't think that Mexico can beat either Canada or the United States in either men's or women's tournament.

 

Of course no one is expecting that... my best scenario was Mexican teams avoiding a total disaster... btw women's game against Canada is on the second quarter and already the locals are losing 4-0 :cry:

 

Livestream if anyone is interested

And incredibly, Mexico men's team managed to tie with USA 5-5 :clap:... it was a really intense game, which ended with a downpour included.

 

It will all come to goal difference, with Mexico having a two goal advantage.

@mrv86 Do you know, how many teams qualifies to the Finals from the Salamanca tournament?

 

If I understood correctly, only the winners gained direct qualification: those are :CAN in women and :USA in men.

Mexican teams having finished in second will have to wait until all other tournaments finish to be completed and see if their ranking is enough to advance to next round.

 

Correction @Vojthas, it seems the first two were given spots, after I found this article today.

Draw for the final round was done. Still 3 teams (two from Africa and one from Asia TBD).

 

Host of each tournament is the first flag. Top two in each will advance to olympic qualification play-offs (don't ask me what are Japan and Scotland/Wales doing here...).

 

Tournament 1 :MAS:CAN:CHN:AUT:BRA:ITA:VAN:WAL 

Tournament 2 :IND:JPN:RSA:MEX:POL:RUS:USA + 1 team TBD

Tournament 3 :FRA:IRL:KOR:CHI:SGP:SCO + 2 TBD

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
