What's the point of this anyway? They could alternate opening & closing ceremonies between the two stadiums but the same one on both of them? Kroenke's ego must be frickin' hilarious (there's a vague chance he won't live that far though ).
Yes, but Netherlands played with their A-team (only De Kruijff didn't play), many other teams played with their B or C-choice. After the disappointing results this summer (EC and OGQ) it would surprise me when Netherlands grabs the last Olympic ticket. My prediction: Turkey.
Paja after the race :
"When leaving the shooting range I accidentally looked at target five and not six, where I shot... I want to apologize to my team, my fans and to my wiser me . I'm very sorry, it happened to me for the first time. I believe that tomorrow in the mass start race it will be forgotten"
Teams for 3x3 Tournaments are known
The teams for the first IIHF-sanctioned 3-on-3 ice hockey tournaments are known. Female and male junior players will play in mixed teams at the upcoming 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne next January.
The athletes for the eight men’s and eight women’s team qualified through the National Skills Challenge that served as qualification event in the 40 participating countries.
Each team will consist of 13 athletes (11 skaters, 2 goaltenders) who will in each case join from 13 different National Olympic Committees.
With the participants now concerned, the team rosters have now been created and coaches from the IIHF assigned.
