Hockey World cup for 2028 is confirmed
https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/02/12/nhl-world-cup-of-hockey-2028/
8 team, and no mixed teams. So Slovakia and Germany? Switzerland?
We've been waiting almost 9 years for a best on best ice hockey tournament and that 1st period delivered.
Canada with a dominant period over Sweden and they lead 2-0 after the 1st period
I'm attempting to create a medal projector for the 2026 Olympics. Instead of just listing the top 3 favourites I wanted to give a percentage athletes have to win a medal. My first events completed were downhill, here are the top 10.

In order to prevent my computer from dying I only ran the simulation 1000 times so no tenth of a percentage is listed. For nations with many athletes I just took the four highest ranked athletes as per event rules and removed the rest. Eventually as NOCs announce their teams I can refine it properly.
Any surprises?
Another big meeting tomorrow from Lievin - First meet to unite the Euro & American circuits.
Late start 19:45 UK Time
