Still no dates not only for qualification itself, but even the draw for qualification to Europeans in Budapest in 2020. As the tournament will be in January (due to Olympics of course) they need to take three rounds by... October? Which means two things - or very tight calendar for weaker teams starting from round 1 or, what is more possible, only two rounds of qualification with probably less entries than before Barcelona.

so, in the men's tornament, for instance, we could well have a group with SRB (or HUN), CRO, ITA and another team and at the same time another group with GER, BRA, NZL and a 4th tier team, with the 1st ranked of such group already sure to make at least the quarterfinals (= top 8 finish mathematically safe)...

 

what the hell were they thinking when they adopted these pots????? :facepalm::wall:

    • I really hope Nordic Combined doesn't get scrapped. Actually, I believe the Winter Olympics should keep growing with new sports and disciplines (3x3 Hockey, Ice Cross, Speed Skiing, Ice Climbing), otherwise they won't feel like a true celebration of sports like their summer counterpart.
    • In fact, well, no. Hockey is extremely physically demanding, I even think it is the most physically demanding winter sport of all. I mean keeping more than a minute on ice is just cardiac. The shifts are there for a reason.   25 players rosters are absolutely justified. You must have 4 lines to keep the stamina the whole game.   Hard to persuade people who never watched hockey though, I can understand your point, but sadly, the point is wrong
    • Stats are ok, but the time she losts on the range every time... My point was that she is more likely to make us losing the olympic relay than to make us winning it.  
    • I'll jump on the off-topic with an unpopular opinion - ice hockey isn't so stamina demanding to justify 25 people rosters. And it doesn't have big playing fields like football or rugby for example, where you'd require so many reserves. 15 field players + 3 goalies should be good. Or 18+3 at max. But 25 is too much imo and the constant substitutes are too much as well.
    • But her shooting surely never was horrendous, or even bad for her standards.
