I think they are competing outside of hockey? 

Which raises a new question: how does an ice hockey team withdrawing lead to two other nations participating in other sports? :d 

 

Or are "Bahrain withdrew" and "Jordan and Uzbekistan are confirmed to compete" to separate things that have nothing to do with one another?

Sorry lol, I was typing on my mobile and forgot to write Jordan will compete in alpine skiing and Uzbekistan in figure skating (they entered way after the entries deadline).


Also for your interests, the Sri Lankan athlete will not compete in the Biathlon competitions, the IBU has refused to let him, so he will just compete in cross-country skiing.

 the 4th Islamic Solidarity Games --

Official Mascots of Baku 2017 Announced today 13/02

On February 13, Azerbaijan Islamic Solidarity Games Operations Committee presented official Mascots of Baku 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games.
Karabakh horses, national treasures of Azerbaijan, known in the world by their beauty became official symbols of the Games. 


Karabakh horses - Mascots of Baku 2017 characterized by tenderness and courage will play an important role in promoting the Games across the media.

“Inje” (İncə) is an example of tenderness, beauty and charm. “Inje” also represents our national traditions and contemporary spirit.

Skilful, brave and purposeful “Jasur” is characterized by his free spirit and self-confidence, as all Kharabakh horses. Fearless and ambitious, “Jasur” is also known by his kind heart and diligence.

Starting today, “Inje” and “Jasur” will become the official symbols of Baku 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games and bring a spirit of celebration to the capital and regions of our country.

In addition, the illustration with mascots is ready now and the animated version will be revealed soon.

Asian Winter Games Opening Ceremony to be streamed at Olympic Channel :clap:

 

The official website will also provide streaming for the events (detail TBA).. https://sapporo2017.org/site/news-en/enstreaming.html

It's really a shame they don't use the standard sportresult thing for results and schedules, but their own rather crappy and amateuristic design :p

    • Knockout Stage   Quarterfinals, 1st Leg (Part I) Tuesday 03.12.2024 - Highlights   Sparta Prague (CZE) - Växjö Lakers (SWE)   Red Bull Salzburg (AUT) - Färjestad Karlstad (SWE)   Genève-Servette (SUI) - Pinguins Bremerhaven (GER)
    • so, the Swiss reigning champions, who saved their ass in the last match of the RS, now are almost safe in the semis once again...   very impressive performance also by RB Salzburg, I didn't expect them to make such a good run, even if the 2nd leg match won't be easy at all and they're all but safe in the final four
    • Knockout Stage   Quarterfinals, 1st Leg (Part I) Tuesday 03.12.2024 - Results   Sparta Prague (CZE) - Växjö Lakers (SWE)  1-2 (0-0, 1-1, 0-1) Red Bull Salzburg (AUT) - Färjestad Karlstad (SWE)  3-1 (1-1, 2-0, 0-0) Genève-Servette (SUI) - Pinguins Bremerhaven (GER)  4-0 (2-0, 1-0, 1-0)
    • I guess 65, 79, 88, 110, 110+ will be the Olympic classes for 2028 (I don't think IOC would allow them to increase the number of gold medals available at the Games yet...most likely they want to to stay with the current lineup and see how it goes in the next Olympic cycle in terms of doping scandals before taking any decision)  or maybe they will keep those weights for the "regular activity" and later on they will set 5 different weight classes only good for Olympic purposes, with dedicated tournaments when it's time for the OQ (like Taekwondo, more or less)  but it's just my personal speculation, I have no infos from the inside 
    • Today the funniest tournament of the season, the Shoot Out, will starts
    • Luckily for us, it happened exactly as we thought. Unfortunately, the Serbian players had to play the entire match, the difference in value between the starters and the reserves being quite large, and thus at the end of the match their fatigue was evident.
    • if they limit the number of qualified athletes to 8 per category that will not exceed the allocated quota (marginally). I know 8 athletes only is a bit harsh but will be more competitive.  
    • Thank you for putting this together, it was fun to go through. From your keyboard to God's ears on Canada's short track team here (I believe you have us at 4-1-1, which is realistic if everything works out).   Leaving us off the podium in speed skating women's pursuit was interesting.   Three medals of any colour in curling would be celebrated at this point after two disasterous cycles.   In hockey, I'll always take our girls over the Americans (was "lucky" enough to see them lose in 2018 in person, though. Only time in 6 Games. Haha...hahahahaha...ha).    For the men, I said above unless Canada finds a goaltender I'm not too optimistic. USA is just too well rounded. But lots can happen by then, and in a one game elimination tournament. 
    • big decision by IWF   new weight categories, 8 for men and 8 for women from June 2025   Men 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 98kg, 110kg, +110kg Women 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 77kg, 86kg, +86kg   and this means all World records will be erased AGAIN !    https://iwf.sport/2024/12/03/iwf-executive-board-meeting-in-manama-brn-december-2-3-main-decisions/   I think that was a good decision, 10 weights was too much. but erasing the current World Records was the down side of this decision.   but does this mean they have some agreements with IOC to have all these weights at the Olympics ? that looks unlikely though  but looking at the numbers and the gap between weights none of them look like a "non-Olympic weight" at least that's what IWF thinks.
