It's hard for an italian too :p

So, we have any chance to win against France? I'm not an expert of female hockey

 

well, we must say that Italy is the lowest seeded team in this group, but you already achieved very important win against Latvia, but against France the top favorite of the group it should be a bit harder even more assuming the tournament is held in France. But we know how the hockey and not only the hockey matches between France and Italy are tense and full of emotions so everything can happen. but yes on paper France is favorite.

Dreaming of PyeongChang 2018

Women’s Olympic Qualification continues this week

Face-off between Latvia and Italy. The Italians in white caused an upset on the first day.

 

Beside the IIHF championship events played right now in Germany, Hungary, Estonia and Chinese Taipei – including Belarus and Germany battling it out for promotion to the 2018 World Juniors on Saturday in Bremerhaven – two qualification tournaments for the Olympic women’s ice hockey tournament at PyeongChang 2018 will be played these days.

After three tournaments it’s the third and last preliminary round that will end on Sunday in France and Norway. The winner of each tournament will advance to the final round for a berth in Korea.

The tournament in France already started yesterday at the new Aren’Ice in Cergy-Pontoise outside of Paris. Lowest-seeded Italy, which won in the earlier preliminary round in San Sebastian, Spain, surprised with a 3-2 win against Latvia while host France blanked China 3-0. The four teams continue with games today and on Sunday.

The tournament in Stavanger with host Norway, Slovakia, Hungary and Kazakhstan begins today and will be played on three consecutive days.

The winner of each tournament will advance to the Final Olympic Qualification. The higher seeded of the two teams will play in Group D in Tomakomai with host Japan, Germany and Austria; the other team will play in Group C in Arosa with host Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Denmark. The dates for both tournaments are 9th to 12th February 2017.

The winners of the final tournaments will get their tickets to PyeongChang 2018 where the top-five teams of the current Women’s World Ranking – USA, Canada, Finland, Russia and Sweden – as well as host South Korea are already qualified.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
