I think that I need some break from watching and following sport, it's truly hearthbreaking how many bad luck we have in recent months, I even find a few grey hairs on my head, despite that I'm not that old, probably because of being too nervous...

 Do you still think we will find out about Belarus this coming week at the meetings ?  I would guess if Belarus is out then I suspect Hungary would replace them ( might have been Poland but now that they lost again i assume Poland is out)

I think they will need at least one more team in both cases  - as for now - Ukraine will not play against belarus.

A special general assembly of IIHF leaderboard is schedulled from Monday (Tomorrow) in Zurich. One of the main points (the most important) is the discussion followed by vote about the eventual extention of the ban on :RUS and :BLR from IIHF program (including the WOG Milano-Cortina 2026)

 

This is a full 14 members list of the leaderboard which will vote for or against extention of the ban

 

Luc Tardif (FRA), Petr Bříza (CZE), Bob Nicholson (CAN), Henrik Bach Nielsen (DEN), Aivaz Omorkanov (KGZ), Zsuzsanna Kolbenheyer (HUN), Marta Zawadzka (POL), Franz Reindl (GER), Pavel Bure (RUS), Andrea Gios (ITA), Heikki Hietanen (FIN), Viesturs Koziols (LAT), Anders Larsson (SWE) and Raeto Raffainer (SUI)

 

 

PS: We already know 2 votes for the continue of the ban

 

The Swede Larsson and Finn Hietanen have already told to their domestic media that their oppinion about the continuation of the ban not changed. "In the current situation, we consider it impossible for Russia and Belarus to start. This is about the safety of players and events. My clear opinion is that the situation has not changed, so Sweden's position is clear," the Swedish official told Expressen.

I think 2 other possible options are where only one team is needed

 

 

1) They could kick Belarus out of the Olympics because they have to make that decision now but leave Russia in the iffy position because the Olympics are not till 2026 !  Then make the final decision on Russia in the Olympics at a later date.

 

 

2) They could do what FIBA always does.  Kick both out but add only one team. Then say the three winners plus the highest ranking non-winner advances to the Olympics. Basically saying Slovakia you have to play the 3 games but your in anyway.

The IIHF has (not) decided on the fate of Russia and Belarus. It will also affect Slovakia

 

Today, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) decided on the fate of Russia and Belarus for the next season. It extended the ban on both countries from participating in IIHF events and excluded Belarus from qualifying for the Olympics.

 

Belarus was supposed to play Slovakia in the qualifiers in Bratislava. The IIHF has not announced who will replace them or how the situation will be resolved. At the end of August, teams from Kazakhstan and Ukraine are scheduled to arrive to Bratislava. Who will be the fourth team is still questionable. Likewise, what would happen in the case that Russia will not be allowed to play at the Olympics and how their place will be awarded.

 

IIHF Statement Today,

during one of its regular meetings, the IIHF Council reviewed the current security risks associated with the re-inclusion of the Russian and Belarusian national and club teams in IIHF competitions. Based on a thorough analysis, the IIHF Council has concluded that it is not yet safe to re-enter Russian and Belarusian teams into IIHF competitions. Therefore, Russia and Belarus will not participate in the 2024/2025 season. This decision will also affect the Belarusian team in connection with the final Olympic tournament, which will take place in August 2024. The IIHF Council will, as it has done in previous years, continue to monitor the situation, with the deadline to determine whether it is safe to re-include Russia and Belarus in the 2025/2026 IIHF season to be May 2025 during the IIHF Council meeting prior to the IIHF Annual Congress.

Good that Belarus is out.  Russia gets another year in the iffy Olympics.  I suspect the replacement will be Hungary.  They are the highest ranked.

      Doping Cases and Bans in 2024

      Totallympics Announcements Thread

      By Sindo · Posted

      Discussion Threads are moving from an annual cycle to a quadriennium cycle, and being merged with the Olympic Qualification Thread for the following Olympic Games.   Example: Alpine Skiing Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano-Cortina 2026   You might see the downside of this so I anticipate the benefits of it   - There will be no need to open discussion threads every new year, but just every 4; - In the past we had some discussion threads very active and some with very few replies. Having also the general Olympic qualification discussion in the thread will guarantee each thread to be active during the Olympic quadriennium; - We will still have separate threads for single Olympic qualification events, so these threads are only for general discussion related or unrelated to Olympic qualifications; - In the past, we had to move lots of posts between Discussion Threads and Olympic qualification threads. This now will not be necessary anymore because there is a single thread for both.

      Winter Olympic Games 2030 Bid Process

      By dodge · Posted

      OK this is getting weird but do you honestly believe those figures? Do you actually believe that the Winter Olympics is popular in countries that don’t have snow at winter? (At the same time as the IOC claims they need to include the likes of breakdancing to make the summer games more appealing)   If you do, then fair enough

      Wrong (again). Estimated viewership for Beijing 2022 was 2 billion, while for Tokyo it was 3 billion, which isn't a considerable difference for "only 30 countries care for the Winter Olympics." Add the February slot when everyone is at work and all the football leagues are in full force, compared to July/August vacations and the numbers are even more impressive for an event, which allegedly few people care about.

      Track Cycling 2024 Discussion Thread

      By Dkats · Posted

      At the end of the day who knows what the situation will be like in 4 years time, there could be a new sprint star that is neither him or Lavreysen for all we know.    The Australian team sprint squad was on a downward trend anyway because Glaetzer is clearly past his best which was easily seen at these games.     GB cycling obviously saw the medals he won, his talent and birth country, got into contact with him and gave him a more lucrative deal. Track cycling is a bigger/more important sport there and their cyclists get more funding.    Because if it was always his ‘dream’ why didn’t he make the move earlier on? He has been competing since 2019    And also can they please take Raygun aswell? I beg

      Ellesse Andrews grandfather is Scottish and he got asked if there's a possibility Andrews could join GB (as a joke) thanks to the Richardson bombshell on NZ radio. He replies, "Like hell she is, I'm Scottish not British". Just to add the grandfather is from Glasgow, one area that is pro independence. Hahaha got to laugh.

      Alpine Skiing Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano-Cortina 2026

      In alpine skiing one can still actually qualify through the points gained in whichever race?   They abandoned that in cross-country skiing, and rightfully so

      So if you were a Winnipeg Jets fan in the 90's, you became an Arizona Coyotes fan despite it being far away and having nothing to do with Winnipeg anymore, and now that transferred to being a fan of a random other team that happens to be HC Utah, the continuation of the original Jets? Or if you were a Jets fan in the 90's you simply stopped being a fan of anything, until the current Jets came around and one became a fan of that?

      Yeah, but I agree with that (basically)     I was just saying some sports simply aren't 'summer sports' or 'winter sports', the time of year in which they happen to be held due to scheduling don't necessarily make them so.
