2 sure gold medals for Sweden and a good shot at qualification for Denmark you meant  

 

I think it´s a question of time, when floorball will do it. It´s one of the most quickly developing and young people atracting sport ever

 

 

btw tomorrow vs for 1st and 2nd place in group C and for a better opponent in the play-offs. it´s going for a tough match.  congrats for the qualification for the play-offs btw

Really? it's a one-continent sport (the best ever result for a non european nation is 8th in women's!) and even more, it's a sport with heavy domination of one country.

 

Honestly, I think even freaking Polo or Cricket would stand a better chance to get into the program...

Sure, thats the biggets problem lack of competition and yes for now too much euro-centric, but just like handball or water polo for example. but don´t forget that this sport is instead of the previously mentioned is actually still very young but already is played in many countries of all continents. ofc the level is still too much different. The thing is just that for some few years this sport already attracted a massive amount of especially young peoples everywhere, even in Slovakia, this sport was in fact unknown some 6-7 years ago but now children in schools during physical education lessons want play only floorball. In few years it became the sport with the third largest youth base behind ice hockey and football it´s for sure worldwidely the sport with the highest increase in popularity, counting the last few years.
