Quite happy with the outcome of these qualification tournaments tbh. Slovakia and Latvia have some of the best hockey fans in the world and Denmark is by far the best hockey nation that had never qualified for the Olympics.

ROAD TO BEIJING 2022 Slovaks off to the Games The 12th and final men’s ice hockey berth at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing went down to the wire between Slovakia and Belarus. Before a sometimes delirious, often nervous, partisan crowd of 7,105 – the maxim allowed under public health regulations – at Bratislava’s Ondrej Nepela Arena, Slovakia won 2-1 to gain the spot. In fact, Slovakia only needed one point to gain the spot, and that’s essentially what they got, with Libor Hudacek scoring the game-winning goal into an empty net as Belarus went for it all in the late going. With the stakes so high, it’s no surprise that the teams came out full of energy, but Belarusian defenceman Sergei Sapego got carried away when he checked Juraj Slafkovsky from behind into the boards at 4:05. Sapego was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct and put enormous pressure on his team’s penalty-killing units, which had already had to kill off one penalty early on. It took little time for the Slovaks to strike, with captain Marek Hrivik from the blueline setting up former Leksands IF linemate Peter Cehlarik for the one-timer that beat Danny Taylor over the glove to the near side. There was still 4:27 to go in the five-minute penalty, but if there was any relief for Belarus, it was that a double-minor for high-sticking to Adam Ruzicka negated the last 2:03 of the major. Slovakia outshot Belarus 18-6 in the opening period but, thanks to the netminding of Taylor, it remained a one-goal game at the intermission. And just over a minute into the second period, the game was tied. Shane Prince spun away from a check in the corner and fed the puck out front, where a wild scramble ensued, and captain Yegor Sharangovich was apparently the last Belarusian player to touch the puck before it crossed the goal line. In general, the second period was played more cautiously than the first but there were chances – the best going to Slovakia’s Kristian Pospisil, who in the 28th minute blocked a shoot-in attempt at his own blueline and was off to the races. In alone on Taylor, he interestingly chose to wind up and take a slap shot, which didn’t fool the Belarusian keeper. The more time that passed, the less margin for error there was on either side, and the more nervous the fans in Bratislava became. As long as the game remained tied, Slovakia was okay, but just one goal against could put them in deep trouble and with each shot on Konrad, the Slovak fans held their collective breath. As the third period moved into its last five minutes, Belarus began taking more and more chances, and with under three minutes to go and play headed into the Slovak end, Craig Woodcroft decided to pull Taylor for a sixth attacker. The move backfired as the puck bounced out into the netural zone, Hudacek gained centre and fired the game-winning goal into the empty net with 2:17 to play. IIHF.COM

the IOC didn't want anymore a double standard tournament, with the first part played only by the second tier teams (without the NHL players) and a very short second round + playoffs with only 8 teams playing with the NHLers (what happened to the Slovaks in SLC 2002 still hurts the IIHF)... at the same time, the NHL didn't want a 16-day tournament as it was before with 12 teams taking part to the olympics, so they came to an agreement...only 12 teams, NHL players playing the whole tournament, but at the same time a shorter tournament with that stupid format we have right now (in order to have a shorter break of the NHL regular season)... common interests, I guess...

Collet's contract as France basketball coach extended for Paris 2024 Olympics https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1112284/basketball-france-collet

Bro, congrats! I am happy you made it!!! Would be pity to have Olympic tournament without guys! And as long as it seems NHL guys may eventually play in Beijing, it might be a very interesting tournament!!!

The world famous winter resorts of Beijing and Milano obviously.

Pas si mauvaises ces volleyeuses françaises, quart de finaliste après avoir battu 2 bonnes équipes européennes & non ? Bien sur, le chemin devrait s'arrêter là avec la Serbie qui s'annonce de nouveau. Mais on peut être raisonnablement confiant pour l'avenir de cette très jeune équipe. A Paris, où elles seront tête de série, l'objectif réaliste doit être de sortir des poules.

I just wanted to share one of my favourite interviews ever. Silver medal winner Nicole Turner’s joy is infectious

Good, we already reach as many medals (28) than in Rio It will be the first time since... 1984 that the number doesn't go down !

So four judges saw NED closely winning while the fifth one, from GBR, scored in total 231.7-223.2 for GBR In old-style boxing robberies at least there needed to be a few corrupted judges agreeing on the outcome.

wins its first ever Paralympic gold medal ! (it has also never won an Olympic gold either).

The Olympics are first and foremost a made for TV event anyway, I don’t see what’s wrong with spreading them across a wide region.

Ni les Belges, ni les Croates n'étaient aux Jeux.... Ce championnat était l'objectif de leur saison. Et je dis simplement qu'elles ne sont pas aussi nulles qu'on aurait pu le croire après un match raté contre les Serbes.

If it would fulfill your fantasy, sure why not

I somehow missed Kate O’Brien's life threatening injury. That silver paralympic medal must be really sweet.
