I wonder if Belarus team will play in this tournament. 

 

I hope they will. 

Sportsmen should have their chance, all this mess is not their fault, I guess.

Nothing about them withdrawing/being banned from playing.

It´s official.

 

The 2021 IIHF Top Division World Championships will take place only in Riga, Latvia.

 

All 16 teams will play in a special bubble including two venues only 150 meters apart. No team will be relegated.

 

 

 

 

The Council of the International Hockey Federation (IIHF) decided on Tuesday that the world championship Top Division will take place only in Riga, Latvia, at the end of May and start of June 2021. The information was confirmed by the official IIHF website.

 

Nothing has changed at the date of the tournament, it will take place from May 21 to June 6. Originally, the championship was to take place in Minsk, Belarus, but the unfavorable political situation in the country meant that in the first half of January 2021, even under pressure from its sponsors, the IIHF decided to deprive Belarusians of the right to host the world's hockey elite. Immediately afterwards, the search for a substitute venue began, and Bratislava and the Danish Herning also came into play.

 

However, the IIHF eventually decided to organize the entire tournament only in Riga.

 

The Preliminary B-group of the tournament will take place in the main stadium, the Riga Arena, the Preliminary A-group also with the Slovak team in the Riga Olympic Sports Center (150meters from Riga Arena), which will also host two quarter-final matches.

 

The IIHF has decided that the two-fields Daugava Stadium, which is currently being renovated, will be used for trainings for tournament participants. All 16 national teams will be accommodated in one hotel. The IIHF did not make any changes to the tournament schedule and format.

 

Slovakia will present itself in the preliminary A-group with Russia, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Great Britain and newly promoted team Belarus.

 

The International Hockey Federation also stated that, the tournament is now possible to be organized more easily in the so-called "bubble", as the two competition stadiums are only 150 meters apart and all teams will live in one facility.

 

"I would like to thank our members from Denmark and Slovakia for their willingness to host the World Championships with minimal preparation. However, the IIHF Council believes that organizing a championship in one country is the best solution. We have the opportunity to prepare a so-called bubble and, if it will be possible, we will be also happy to welcome fans in the stands, "said René Fasel, the incumbent president of the IIHF, on the federation's website.

 

Since there no lower divisions tournaments this year, it was already confirmed that no team will be relegated from this year championship.

Russian Ice Hockey federation want "Katyusha" to be played instead of the national anthem after :RUS wins at the world championships :lol: wrote Championat.com citing sources from the Russian Ice Hockey federation.

 

The official even added : "Katyusha will be Russian anthem,The details how it will exactly looks will be clarified later." :d

 

Remember at the IIHF WCh events the national anthem is played only after the end of the match and only for the winner of the game.

 

 

 

The site also claims Russians are also considering to ask the IOC to have Katyusha played instead of the Russian national anthem in Tokyo and Beijing during the upcoming Summer and Winter Olympic Games medal ceremonies after eventual gold medals of Russian athletes.

and Katyusha will be the Russian anthem during the championships and will be played in case of RUS team wins after the games. :lol:

 

Announced today as official, the only remaining unanswered questions are whether they will compete under the flag and logo of Russian National Hockey Federation or under Russian National Olympic Committe, should be decided until the end of March, According to the decision the jerseys design will be then produced.

Fuck...

 

Libor Hudáček, obviously expected our top 2 lines center is out for the rest of the season due leg injury :(  already underwent surgery in Lausanne yesterday.

 

I really do not see who will replace him, lack of centers is definitely our biggest issue currently

IIHF overturned the decision, saying it is out of question :lol:

 

No Katyusha ! Only the IIHF anthem will be played after the Russian winning matches during the tournament. The team will play under Russian NOC flag.

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health. 
    • Marian Kasprzyk (boxing) - 1964 Olympic Champion & 1960 bronze medallist passed away at the age of 86.
    • It was removed the next day.
    • Someone made this Statue Trump---Epstein     mysterious bronze statue called “Best Friends Forever” has popped up on the east end of the National Mall in Washington, DC,    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-epstein-statue-dc-national-mall.html    
    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.
    • another wave of mega rain is coming in north Africa 
    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
