According our (usually very well informed) media, IIHF already announced that the final statement about participation at the Men´s Ice Hockey Tournament in Cortina 2026 will be next year March ! (If the war will not end by then, they will be banned from the Tournament) https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/iG7TXDZ/slovensko-zatial-priamo-nepostupi-na-zoh-2026-svajciarsko-opat-nepomohlo/ Slovakia does not yet qualify directly to the 2026 Olympics. Switzerland did not help... again Slovakia´s ice hockey team is not yet qualified to the 2026 Winter Olympics and will have to wait for a decision on Russia. And maybe will have to fight once again in the qualification. The 8 best teams from the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) world ranking after these World Championships qualify directly to the Olympic Games. The Slovaks were in 8th place before the quarter-final matches, and in order to stay there, they needed Switzerland to beat Germany in the quarter-finals. Slovakia did not advance to the top eight and took 9th place overall, for which we earned only 960 points, so we have now 3,290. The Germans earned 1,000 points for advancing to the quarterfinals and had 3,275 - 15 less than the Slovaks. However, since they defeated Switzerland in today´s quarterfinal and advanced to the semi-finals, they will at least add another 100 points to their account and thus will move up ahead of Slovakia, which they relegated to 9th place in this World Ranking. Switzerland did not help Slovakia... again,for the second time in less than 72 hours... previously Craig Ramsay´s team needed Switzerland to beat Latvia in regular time, but they failed to do so in an unimpressive performance to say the least, and so Latvia advanced to the play-offs at the expense of the Slovaks. However, the Slovaks still have a chance for direct qualification. Russia is among the top 8 nations of the world ranking, but for well known reasons does not compete in any IIHF events, and also its participation at the next Olympics is questionable. The IIHF already informed that they should make the final decision about Russian participation in Milano-Cortina 2026 next March. If the highest Ice Hockey world stance determines that the Russians will not be under the five rings, Slovakia will then advance directly to the Olympics as the ninth team in the ranking by default. If this does not happen and Russian team will be allowed to compete at the WOG´26, we will have to fight for the qualification once again in the qualification (just like before Beijing´22, we will have the right to host one of the final qualifying tournaments as the highest ranked non-qualified nation). Slovakia can also still drop in the world rankings to 10th place, but Latvia would have to win the entire World Championship this Sunday. I translated this article from Šport.sk

No because of our final outcome, but Yes because SUI did not deserve anything better. and this is one great day for sports fair-play.

and Qualified in Men´s Ice Hockey (All 25 quotas) 3 spots remaining, They will be awarded next year´s late August at the 3 final Qualifying Tournaments hosted by Group 1, or Group B and C (will depend which one will host group B and which one Group C on the final standing of Latvia at the world champs this year. All should be known the latest this Sunday) *the question mark anyway still remains on Russia, the latest this winter, early next year, IIHF will have to announce its final word, whether they will play in Milano/Cortina or not. If they will be banned from Olympics (or atleast from Team sports...) then Slovakia will qualify directly and / will host FQT Groups A/B and the Group C

Power Rankings 23rd May 2023 Heading into the quarter-finals, the intensity is off the charts in our fifth Power Rankings of the 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship. The U.S. retains first place after defeating a never-say-die Swedish team 4-3 in overtime for first place in Group A. Switzerland clings to second place following its 4-3 overtime loss to host Latvia with an undermanned roster. And in a stunning twist, the Latvians skyrocket into third place after their adrenaline-laden victory, which gives the Baltic hosts a quarter-final berth and ends Switzerland’s run as the lone team to win all its games in regulation time.

Our main sport site explained today the current situation before the Quarterfinals https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/aCYuFOV/ms-v-hokeji-2023-hokej-dnes-hokej-ms-slovensko-malo-stastie-a-je-kusok-od-priameho-postupu-na-zoh-2026-opat-musime-fandit-svajciarsku/ brief translate: Slovakia is still in game for directly advancing to the 2026 Olympics. We however have to cheer for Switzerland again Slovak hockey players will no longer participate in the 2023 IIHF World Hockey Championship, but there will still be important matches that will affect the future of our national team. Specifically, the Winter Olympics in 2026. Qualification to the Olympics are based on the world ranking of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) after the end of the current 2023 world championships. How does it work? The 8 best ranked teams of the IIHF 2023 World Ranking will advance directly to the Olympics, but this time there is 1 question mark. Russia is also in the top eight, although it did not play at the last championships at all due to the war in Ukraine, but according IIHF decidsion the World Ranking points were still added to them to the World Ranking. And always the same amount 1120 points for 3rd Place, (They got the same amount of points for 3rd place, as they were in this position before the war). So now again they will receive points for 3rd place despite not playing at all again.) The final decision about the participation or non-participation of Russia at the 2026 Winter Olympics (or at the Olympic Hockey tournament) will have to be decided until the start of next year the latest (Olympic Qualifying early rounds tournament will be already played). However, if the Slovaks want to say after this world championship that they have the certain participation at the next Olympics, then they must be in the top eight of the world ranking. Now, currently... We are still in it. At this year´s world championship, we took the overall 9th place and scored 960 points to the World Ranking.Thus we now have a total of 3,290 points and are still in last direct qualifying 8th place. Only two national teams can overtake us - Germany and Latvia. First, let´s look at the more dangerous and realistic possibility - Germany already knows that if it does not win tomorrows Quarterfinal against Switzerland, they will receive exactly 1,000 points to the World Ranking for the 8th place from this Championship. GER finished fourth in the preliminary group A and since they had fewer points than the fourth team from the group B (Czechia) this means If they will fail in the quarter-finals they will be automatically ranked 8th and score "only" 1,000 points, which would have a total of 3,275 points, i.e. 15 less than Slovakia. Which would mean that the Slovaks will advance directly to the Olympics and do not have to wait for the decision on Russia´s eventual participation or ban. Germany will play its quarter-final match against Switzerland. The Slovaks logically have to cheer for the Swiss ... again, just like in the last night match they played against host Latvia, which they sadly did not win in for Slovakia so needed regular time and thus did not help Slovakia to advance to the Quarterfinals. However, we must also add that the Slovaks were also a bit lucky at the end of the day. And this because The Swiss lost after Overtime. If it was the opposite and they got the extra point instead of Latvia, that would be the disaster, because Germany would not be eighth overall, but seventh at worst in this Champioship. GER would have gained 20 more points and would have overtaken Slovakia in the IIHF World Ranking even if it had not advanced to the semi-finals by tragic and absolutely sorrowful 5 points. However, let´s have also Caution number 2 in minds: Latvia, Even if the Swiss hopefully will succeed tomorrow and beat the Germans in the quarter-finals, one more thing will still have to be fulfilled to definitely send Slovakia directly to Milano-Cortina 2026. Although this second caution is really very unlikely. The Slovaks can at the end be also overtaken in the World Rankings by the Latvians - but only in case Latvia will win this whole Tournament to become world champions. So basically, what is the most important for Slovak hockey fans ? Tomorrow will be decided our direct or not-direct spot destiny for Milano-Cortina 2026: If Germany and Latvia lose their quarter-final matches, the Slovaks will already and directly qualify to the 2026 Olympics.
