Russia-Ukraine Crisis Consequences in Sports


Recommended Posts

While the whole hockey planet is preparing for the World Championships which will start tomorrow in Finland... in the other part of the globe, :RUS organized a mini-3- teams-tournament in the huge St. Petersburg arena, a former USSR championship :p

 

You imagine, the arena full of enormous former soviet superstars like Tretiak, Mikhailov, Kasatonov, Datsyuk etc.. and super happy fans waving russian flags, celebrating and pushing their glorious national team to the triuph against opponents from :BLR and :RUS  :lol:

 

Yes, because to the complete shock of local authorities :KAZ declined the invitation for obvious reason (since they prefered to play the world championships) They just added the Russian U20 Nationa Team to the tourney.

 

Interesting was that all :BLR naturalized Canadiens and Americans suddenly disappeared and Belarus fielded a roster completely of BLR born players for the first time since the invention of wheel, their head coach, the Canadian Woodcroft is still here, he even signed a new deal with BLR federation for next 2 years.

 

The fact that the guy is a bit disoriented was generally well known, but that so much ! This is really surprising, he even mentioned after the matches what a marvelous chance, what a great opportunity for his young players to shine in such huge tournament... :lol:

 

Team Russia obviously won the tourney, The local TV showed how the captain received a beautiful trophy infront of super excited local fans

 

No single mention that world hockey continuing to live without the Russians/Belarussians and it will hardly change anytime soon…

 

If anyone interested here the results :p

 

Exhibition Games (1st and 2nd May in Tula, Russia)

 

:RUS - :BLR  5-2

:RUS - :BLR  3-2 after Overtime

 

 

"Ex-USSR" or however the name of the Tournament was (6th-8th May in St. Petersburg, Russia)

 

Gold Medal Match: :RUS - :BLR  3-2

 

1.  :RUS

2. :BLR

3. :RUS U20

MotoGP Finnish Grand Prix has been postponed to 2023 due to "ongoing geopolitical situation in the region" among other things.

:RUS & :BLR  hockey National Teams will not compete also at next the year's World Championships, which will take place in Tampere and Riga from 12 to 28 May 2023. 

 

However At the International Congress of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), the delegates decided to "freeze" their participation in all world championships.

 

The Congress discussed also about logistical difficulties resulting from the exclusion of both countries, which affected the composition of the World Championships tournaments and the designation of relegating and advancing teams.

 

According to IIHF president Luc Tardiff, the eventual future return of Russia and Belarus to the World Champs will bring the same challenges.

 

However it is certain that In the future, when the IIHF will remove the suspension, both countries should return to the Men´s Top division category.

 

 

Still wondering what this "freezing" will means in the Olympic qualification, only 1 tournament is reamining, next year WCH. and if we count another 0 points for Russia like from this year, this must means no direct quota for them, but again I have no idea what they have in minds with that freezing

That bold text seems pretty fair, at least if this whole thing doesn't take 5 years or something. Just like for example in biathlon, them not participating next season shouldn't mean that when they are allowed back, they can only have 1 World Cup quota or something.

 

But yeah, very curious what this means for the Olympic qualification situation...I guess we'll see. You know, like a week before the Olympics :p

Well, it must be decided next May after the World Champs. The 8 highest ranked teams in the iihf ranking will advance directly to the Olympics and the other teams will have to play qualifiers, for the countries is necessary to know the entire final ranking to know who will host which qualifying tournament and against who. Also the Milano/Cortina 2026 preliminary groups will be determined, so IIHF have basically only 1 year to solve this "freezing" chaos..

and today came a major blow to our Olympic direct quota hopes...

 

For some reason, believe it or not IIHF awarded :RUS and :BLR ranking points based on their last year IIHF Ranking position (3rd - so 1120 points) even without playing this year at all :question: BLR got 860 points for 14th place of last year....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIHF_World_Ranking

This is just an unbelievable unfair and completely sad move from IIHF :thumbdown: I understand IIHF want to have :RUS and maybe :BLR back in the elite once that moron in Moscow will finally find his pills and return to reality, I also understand it is not completely fair to punish (all) Russian players by sending them to the lowest possible division (if that war will continue for a couple of years)

 

But ...  This ais already the second time IIHF is trying to screw our hopes with decisions from behind the ice rinks...

 

No need to say Slovak fans going all mad in the hockey forum...also Germans obviously since this move de facto send them to the first non-directly qualified provisional place

 

When Czechoslovakia split, Czechia continued with the ranking of Czechoslovakia and Slovakia got 0 points and got sent to C division, where probably a more fair approach would have been Slovakia getting the same amount of points.
I understand that having Russia return back to A division is better for hockey when we're in times of peace and redemption, but it does put it as a bad precedence given to what happened to Slovakia in the past.

 

Seriously Fuck off IIHF

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
    • And this with relatively small fields, so lots of nations with no skin in the game.
