2026 Men's Ice hockey qualifiers start with a 10-1 win over :CHN in Cardiff. Tomorrow we face :SRB and the day after that :ROU. In the other game in the group, :ROU beat :SRB 4-0.

As now we come across the world

Would be very disappointed if we don’t get a comfortable pass in this company at home, but the next tourney will be a lot harder.

Must say I had given up on British Short Track after all the troubles and woes of Elise Christie.  OK, a European silver is good to have but the weight of the sport is in East Asia, but hopefully a bit more sponsorship and funding....

Interesting to see Elise hit the headlines again this month. :yikes:

An 11-0 win over :SRB. As :ROU beat :CHN it's now an "all-or-nothing" match against :ROU

I think there was a Dutch gymnast who went a lot further than that in the past.

Not that I'm an expert in that kind of thing... :wub:

Didn't a group fo Romania gymnasts do something like that a couple of decades ago - I recall it being a scandal.

 

Can't say, given the body type typical of gymnasts, that I'd be very comfortable with that.

I know someone who keeps an eye on those sorts of things,

I'll get back to you on this...

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
