I do think it’s worth highlighting that this is now Japan’s sixth qualification in a row, which is quite impressive given they aren’t really a traditional power in hockey.

Can't believe that Barber is gone!
 
During the 2015 Pan Am Games I sent a couple of athletes friends request on facebook. He not only accepted but was always super friendly and during the Rio Games we chatted a bit more and he even wrote he would try to get me tickets for the pole vault final.
 
Was super happy to read his come out post on facebook in the spring of 17, but hard to know what was it about. Afterwards he disappeared from social media and his results got a bit behind as well.

Y'all need to let these two rest. They've earned it dammit 
 
Honestly, assuming they want to race, it is cool that they show up every once in a while and try to be competitive.

Or maybe the IOC could be a little less militant about the athlete quota overall and cut costs elsewhere.

Not impossible WW3 starts by the times games happen or is the last summer games before the world splits into two. 

The latter two are also "football with sticks".
 
The way I see it, the difference between these "families" is "people who actually want to pass a ball" vs "people who want to beat up other people"

Not that Canada is any better in Bandy.
 
(I’d argue Lacrosse is closer to “ice hockey on a field” than field hockey, esp the Olympic format, and ofc Bandy is almost literally Field Hockey on ice).

That’s nonsense. Golf is still in the Olympics, and we all know Bratislava produces the greatest golfers.
