Still cant believe that we wont watch best players in Korea. Its very shamefull that one privately hold organisation is stronger that IOC. How IOC compeled with the fact that NHL wont let their players to compete in Korea? Whats next,prohibiting NBA players from Tokyo... 

Every year IOC do something to degrade itself...

It mostly looked like two children both being incredibly annoying, with this as result.. 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

It's not the IOC's fault. This was a negotiation between the IIHF and the NHL. It came down to NHL owners not wanting to risk losing their players to injury, as well as the fact that games would air in the middle of the night and provide no value to the NHL, NBC or Sportsnet in terms of television revenue.

 

The NHL will be back in 2022 because they want to break into the Chinese market, and will also be back in 2026 assuming the Games go to Calgary (which is looking increasingly likely). NHL players will demand that the Olympics be included in their next arbitration agreement or there will be another lockout.

I didnt know that. At least something good. Thanks for the insight.:yes

I think that both IIHF and IOC must have done more to include best players. We are living in consumers world,only profit is important,i am aware of that,but to ban players to take part at the games,most important competition of their life just because NBC cant make a profit out of it... Just speachles.

    • it looks that earlier Today the  crew of Ineos Britannia made the decisive break and now they're just 1 win away from the Louis Vuitton Cup and the chance to face Team Emirates New Zealand for the America's Cup   in Today's 2 races, for the first time there was no share of victories between the  and  crews, instead the  guys were simply better than the Italians, who made a capital mistake in the choice of the jib in the 1st race and just lost the start battle (and therefore the race) in the 2nd head-to-head   now Ineos Britannia leads the best-of-13 series by a score of 6-4
    • World Junior Championships ( Dushanbe)   Day #1 Medallists   women's -48kg Gold:  Hui Xinran Silver:  Sachiyo Yoshino Bronze:  Kristina Dudina &  Clarice Ribeiro   women's -52kg Gold:  Iroha Oi Silver:  Senju Nosho Bronze:  Huh Mio &  Alyssia Poulange   men's -60kg Gold:  Yamato Fukuda Silver:  Loiq Kudbudinov Bronze:  Murodil Murodillaev &  Talgat Orynbassar   men's -66kg Gold:  Shuntaro Fukuchi Silver:  Kairi Kentoku Bronze:  German Kobets &  Alessio De Luca

    • I’m home with the flu. Tomorrow I will start my job as Swedish jury. It will actually be something good to do when I’m not feeling well. 
    • preliminary entry list for the World Championships (non-Olympic weights) 2024   https://uww.org/article/world-championships-non-olympic-weights-2024-entries   Abdulrashid Sadulaev won the Russian trials yesterday (he didn't look good though) and therefore his name is here, as well as another Olympic Champion Zaur Uguev. with David Taylor, Jordan Burroughs and Reza Geraei we have at least 5 Olympic Champions in the list    also interesting to see lots of guys (Berdimuratov, Ganbaatar, Tsakulov, Kaipanov etc) cut weight massively from their usual Olympic weight to wrestle here.  which shows the importance of a World Championship title    ps: 2024 Olympians are not allowed to wrestle here.
    • I genuinely wonder if ski mountaineering is honestly more popular in terms of audience. Cyclocross quite certainly isn't   Although I believe the season is about to start, so Belgian TV will be busy making it look big again  
    • Nordic Combined isnt a big loss. A widely umpopular sport consisting of mixing more popular sports that doesnt really hook anyone.   I rather had his quotas go to SkiMo or Cyclocross, to be completely honest
    • Is it confirmed or are FIS and other stakeholders just in talks???
    • Yet I'm still looking forward to it, it's been way too long as always
