This surprises me, I've been watching both sports for more than half my life and I can't name a single Lithuanian off the top of my head :p 

 

Not doubting you, by the way, just expressing my surprise :d

OK this is some curiosity. Maybe some die hard hockey fans who watch both ice and field hockey. 

 

Just to clarify Field Hockey is NOT one of the  popular sport in India in the last 2 decades. In most websites they may still write Field Hockey but no there is nothing like popularity. 

 

The sport is popular in Punjab, Haryana, 2 small northern states, then Odisha, Delhi, Jharkhand , and few other cities including Bangalore. Rest most people only know that hockey is about hitting the ball in the goal with a hockey stick . I never played or watched the sport in person , its played in very few schools and colleges except for those places. Don't remember the last time the last time there was a district level competition in field hockey in my district, even netball, ballbadminton, squash, tennikoit , throwball has those events here.

 

Now coming to how much hockey is shown on TV. For the youth to be interested there needs to be something shown. Despite 15 odd sports channels hockey is shown during world cups, world juniors , asia cup apart from multi sport games ( Indian matches only with the FIH commentators )  on 1 channel, if there is something live  in other sports like a cricket match or EPL the sport won't be shown at all on TV instead those same sports may be shown in multiple channels with multiple languages commentary.

There will be streaming of it online but I won't waste my money on subscription for field hockey, let me be honest, I don't like the sport that much, lost the interest over the years and despite the highs of Tokyo I'm more than comfortable with watching it during multi sport events only. 

 

The only sports that you can watch on Indian TV regularly is Cricket, Badminton, Kabaddi , Football, Tennis,  Motor Sports, WWE (Nope, no athletics either) 

 

:PAK Don't even talk about this sport there . Since Imran Khan came to power the sport has died as he has cut the funding. The players are now part timers who practice only before tournaments . Don't ask if the sport is shown on their TV or apps, non existent.

Oh well happens people think we Indians are crazy about hockey, in reality it isn't .

 

And yeah the ministry has clearly stated in 2020 that Hockey is NOT the national sport of the country . So as per the law India has no national sport not even a unofficial national sport.

    • Knockout Stage   Quarterfinals, 1st Leg (Part II) Wednesday 04.12.2024 - Schedule*   19:30 Eisbären Berlin (GER) - ZSC Lions Zürich (SUI)   *All times CET     Watch live   Check here for details of live TV broadcasts: https://www.championshockeyleague.com/en/fans/where-to-watch   All games are also live on the https://everyplay.live/ website (CHL Pass costs 9.99€/month), subject to geo-blocking restrictions in certain countries due to TV rights.
    • 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.
