and btw the organizers had to change the ice hockey format, because Latvia announced their withdrawal, so only 5 teams will compete, and Turkey was moved to group A with Russia and France, which means we will play only in a 2 teams group with Belarus, both teams are meanwhile officially qualified for the semifinals and they will play the top 2 of the other group in a classical play-off system 1A-2B and 1B-2A

 

pitty I wanted so much a match between SVK and TUR the first ever ever in any categories...
