Yep, Sadly it is true, from 2024 to 2028 the WCH will not be in RTVS anymore, which is pretty sad, since I don´t see JOJ covering all matches in TV like RTVS did, but who knows ? maybe they will find a way and RTVS will buy a sub licence or something like it was during the WOG in PyeongChang.

 

However, I just hate when private television company gets the rights to big events. I mean, ok, let them broadcast football leagues, winter sports WC, Athletics Diamond league etc.. but the Ice Hockey WCh, Football WC/EURO and Olympics should remain exclusively for national Public television.

 

In our forums started as expected "discussions" and majority asking loudly :

why we have to pay concession fees when even they can't keep up the Ice Hockey Worlds ? :lol:

so, despite all the covid troubles, some International Hockey was on stage in this weekend...:cheer:

 

the top tier tournament was the traditional Karjala Cup in Helsinki (FIN), where Russia swept the field with 3 wins over Finland, Sweden (this game only at the penalty-shootout) and Czech Republic...

the Czechs ended up in 2nd place ahead of the Home Team (FIN), Sweden were dead last with only 1 point in the standings (the PSO loss against RUS)...

 

in Krefeld (GER), instead, a "minor edition" of the also traditional Deutschland Cup was played...

unfortunately, many of the invited teams had to withdraw because of the covid situation, so finally it was a 3-team contest between Germany, Top Team Peking (basically, Germany B) and Latvia...

the "regular season" ended with Germany on top of the standings ahead of Latvia and Top Team Peking...

meanwhile today's "final" saw the Latvians taking their revenge over the Germans (after yesterday's loss 2-0), winning the game 3-2 at the overtime and the tournament...

 

Full Results and Rankings can be found in the Forum's Result Section...:evil: ;)

Perfect Summary :yes

 

I can perhaps add that :POL and :HUN played also two back-to-back friendly games with Hungary winning both 5-2 on Thursday and 3-2 Saturday.

Fights and brawls are nothing unusual in this sport...between players obviously..

 

but fights between head coaches are definitly nothing regular :lol: After the yesterday Slovak Extraliga match between the :HUN DVTK Miskolc and HK Detva happened this..

 

The canadian coach of the host team Dave Allison was not really happy with the time out of Detva in the very last seconds of the match and attempt to score one more goal in the last few seconds 4 on 3 power play, Detva was already leading 0-4.

So at the end he "apparently" vulgarly insulted Bokroš, this was enough for the experienced former our U20 National Team coach to run after him. :lol:  They had to be separated by the organizers.

 

All players were like : huh, wtf ? nobody knew what to do, no one no one has seen anything like this in their life :rofl:

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
