They have still what 3 and half weeks to finish it in time. Guys will have to accept also some night shifts I guess  but they will make it at time. I am not affraid at all.

 

Anyway this looks like everything but a hockey locker room tbf

Well, the locker rooms for now are not so crucial, they have still time to finish them at time, this should not be a problem. 

 

The more important thing is to test the ice quality surface, Hopefully this will be ok this weekend, because if not, this may be a problem

Exactly. The locker rooms are a matter of a few days, that's not a big deal.

Another question 

 

What your federation is waiting for ? When you are intending to unveil the hockey roster ? It start to be a bit suspicious. Everyone else did it this week already, are you turning some chinalike speedynaturalization process backstage or what ?

I have no idea 

 

maybe they're really trying to do something like that

 

or maybe they're just the same people running the hockey arena's construction?

1) I would not be surprised at all though 

 

2) You do not have big trust on your building industry I see. Hey man, even Rome was not build in 7 days I heard somewhere :D

 

 pazienza ! pazienza ... no need to hurry, there still 3 weeks

2) it'not about trust, it's that I know them very well, unfortunately

Italy's women's team has significantly improved its level- mostly through "chinese" way, but still a good job :)The question is, what will happen next? Unfortunately, the men's team hasn't made any progress in years. In fact, I think we're much weaker than we were 20 years ago during the Turin Games.
