have officially selected the first 2 Olympic crews women's ILCA 6: Chiara Benini Floriani despite the quota place was won by Carolina Albano, the 3rd place in last year's pre-Olympic Regatta in Marseille and the 18th place at the recent world champs in Argentina gave Benini Floriani the edge over Albano, who finished in a miserable 40th place at the world champs women's 49er FX: Jana Germani & Giorgia Bertuzzi this was never in doubt, they definitely are our best crew in this class (despite having a bad week at last year's world champs, they won gold and silver at the last 2 European champs and performed well in many other international regattas)

In diesen heißt es: "Wir mussten heute mit Bedauern zur Kenntnis nehmen, dass Matthias Mayer seine gesundheitlichen Probleme, mit denen er schon seit längerer Zeit kämpft, noch nicht überwunden hat. Als Ski Austria Familie haben wir ihm gemeinsam mit allen Athleten, Kollegen und Partnern stets Halt gegeben." "Wir wünschen Matthias alles Gute und hoffen, dass er möglichst bald zu seiner Leidenschaft dem Skisport wieder zurückkehren kann." "Auch in Rücksprache mit seiner Familie bitten wir um Respekt und Verständnis, dass wir keine weitere Auskunft geben können." basically, he's gone mad in public circumstances...it looks he has strong mental health problems wish him the best

CHL FINAL 2024 TO TAKE PLACE IN GENEVA The race to find the two Finalists that will compete for the European Trophy is over: champions Genève-Servette will face side Skellefteå AIK in the all-or-nothing Champions Hockey League Final on 20 February 2024. Following a decision by the CHL Board, the CHL Final will take place at the Patinoire des Vernets in Geneva since Genève-Servette earned the right to host the event thanks to their better accumulated record throughout the entire 2023/24 CHL season (21 points for both finalists, Geneva with the better goal difference).

Knockout Stage The Final, Single Leg Match Tuesday 20.02.2024 - Schedule 19:30 CET Genève-Servette HC (SUI) - Skellefteå AIK (SWE)

SKELLEFTEÅ HOLD ON AGAINST PERSISTENT VÍTKOVICE They’ve been close before, but Skellefteå AIK have finally reached the Champions Hockey League Final for the first time after losing the Return Game on home ice 2-1 to Vítkovice Ridera, but winning the Semi-Final 5-4 on aggregate score. Starting the game with a two-goal aggregate lead, Skellefteå really looked in control when they increased it to three less than six minutes in. Rickard Hugg fed Elias Salomonsson and the big defenceman cut in from the point to the slot and let go a low wrister that beat Matěj Machovský through a crowd. In the last minute of the first period, Matěj Přibyl nearly answered back for Vítkovice when he broke in alone on Linus Söderström but was denied. Vítkovice didn’t quit and persistence paid off in the 33rd minute on the powerplay, where the Czech team has been dominant all season in the CHL. Marcel Barinka’s shot from the right wing to the far side handcuffed Söderström, and the puck found space between the goalie’s body and blocker and dribbled across the line. Less than two minutes later, Skellefteå thought they’d restored their three-goal advantage – even raised their sticks to celebrate – but Machovský made a marvellous pad save from point-blank range, stopping the puck on the goal line. Early in the third period, Vítkovice took the lead in the game and cut the aggregate deficit to one when Valentin Claireaux’s shot from a sharp angle was blockered away by Söderström, but the rebound went right to Marek Kalus who knocked the puck out of mid-air and into the net. Vítkovice pressed for the equaliser but with their lead down to one, Skellefteå tightened up defensively and didn’t allow many quality chances. Vítkovice called their timeout with 1:35 to play, but were then pinned in their own zone for almost a minute, not giving Machovský a chance to get to the bench until the last 40 seconds. But Vítkovice didn’t even manage a shot on goal the rest of the way, with their lone attempt – a one-timer from Kalus – blocked. The puck was then cleared and the remaining seconds ticked off. Game Highlights

GENÈVE BECOME FIRST SWISS TEAM TO ADVANCE TO CHL FINAL With their 5-4 comeback win, Genève-Servette have become the first Swiss club to compete in the Champions Hockey League Final as they overcame a two-goal deficit to take down Finnish side Lukko Rauma in the Semi-Finals. Moments after making a huge save off the rush, Jussi Olkinuora was beaten glove-side high by Jakob Stenqvist as Lukko took a 3-2 aggregate lead at the six-minute mark of the first. Henri Ikonen won the draw back to Stenqvist who snapped the puck through the legs of Genève's defencemen and into the back of the net to draw first blood. The Finns continued to mount pressure on the Swiss with Brayden Burke putting the home team up 2-0 and 4-2 on aggregate with a simple wrister from the top of the slot that beat Olkinuora clean through the five-hole. The Canadian made a brilliant individual effort when he received the puck at center ice, skated in above the tops of the circles and let it go for his sixth of the season. Lukko's powerplay made its debut at 14:56 after Sami Vatanen was called for tripping, but Genève's third-ranked penalty kill successfully staved off the Finns' chance at advancing their lead as the clubs headed down their respective tunnels with the Swiss holding an 11-7 advantage in shots but still down by two. Late in the second, it was the Swiss making their resurgence, registering two of their own within the span of a minute. The first came off a pretty passing play between a pair of Finns as Teemu Hartikainen dished a cross-crease feed to Valtteri Filppula who buried it to bring the goal deficit to within one. The play started with Simon Le Coultre flicking the puck to Hartikainen who held on to it for a moment before sliding it to Filppula for an easy tap-in past Lukko's Christopher Gibson, who made his CHL debut, with just over three minutes left in the second stanza. Vatanen would go on to level the score following Genève's forecheck which resulted in Sakari Manninen gaining possession. Manninen then passed the puck to a wide-open Vatanen who let go a wicked wrister from just inside the near circle. Then, in the final frame, it was the Swiss converting for a third time as some low-to-high play ended with Filppula securing his second marker of the contest as he deflected Vatanen's shot-pass from the point past Gibson to give Genève their first lead of the night. As Lukko continued to search for the equaliser in the later stages of the third, the visitors continued to make things difficult for the hosts with the Swiss keeping high-danger chances to a minimum. Olkinuora stood on his head, making several key saves to maintain the lead. Gibson was eventually pulled in favour of the extra attacker as the Finns piled on the pressure in the dying minutes, but it would be Genève engineering the win and with it a chance to hoist the European Trophy come February.
