You post it with an emoji as if something is wrong :p I'm trying to figure out which mistake IIHF made :d 

 

The most obvious one would be a Slovakia-Slovenia mix-up but I don't see it.

I meant IIHF releasing today a almost entire week old news. I was trying to discuss with myself on this thread already in the previous page. The emoji was pointing the slow update of IIHF :d

 

Slovan is ofc slovakian, don´t say me you never heard of Slovan at least in football it´s officially the most famous :SVK club,the only club from the region to win the European Cup. and yeah, the bigest rival in field and stands of my Košice obviously :bones:

 

HC Košice fans singing "ŠK Slovan, skurvena Bratislava"  Sk Slovan, the fucking Bratislava" :p

 

 

and Slovan fans singing "Jebať Košice !" Let´s Fuck Košice ! :lol:

 

 

at least it´s just a sort of funny and not so dangerous rivalry,notlike the brainwashed moron hooligans from the football stadiums

 

Spoiler

 

and btw.. Slovan in SK/CZ language means Slav

Problems in :SWE Women´s hockey NT

 

The basically entire women´s Swedish top ice hockey players refused to join the national team's training camp due to lack of care and financial compensation from the national federation, after the team was relegated for the first time in nation´s history from top division last season.

They are also considering the boycott of the upcoming international tournament in Finland. A total of 43 players refused the invitation for the preparation camp before the friendly tournament with Russia, the Czech Republic, Japan and host Finland.

 

and :SWE  withdrew from the tournament.

    • 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.
    • As @NearPupsays, figure skating. They are Uzbeks only by flag, in reality they are two Russian skaters who have changed their nationality
