The 2021 World Championships are strongly endangered. The Latvians refuse to work with Belarus.

 

The :LAT prime minister said he cannot see how Latvia can co-host with Belarus and will push IIHF to move the tournament away from Minsk (where the semifinals and medal matches are schedulled)

Latvia has officially threatened to withdraw as host if Belarus is not stripped of the right to co-host. Latvia want the IHHF to allow them to select a new co-host.

 

This is a little silly since we all knew Lukashenko was a dictator when Latvia threw their lot in with Belarus. While I understand the situation has dramatically changed since then, one could say that if Latvia was fine laying in bed with a dictator then; there shouldn’t be much difference now. Of course, I’m happy they’re standing up for human rights/democracy now. I’m just saying they could have done a better job of asserting their beliefs by not choosing Belarus in the first place. However, I realize the importance sports can play in uniting divided cultures/governing systems, so I can understand how this was a complicated decision for them.

 

Rene Fasel/IHHF isn’t completely innocent here either. Fasel made some poorly worded statements about the situation in Belarus, and I think those ultimately helped push the Latvian government to this extreme.

Belarus declared via its Ice Hockey federation president Dmitry Baskov that they are perfectly capable and prepared to host the world champs on its own even without Latvia 

 

I see some people in Belarus are living somehow a bit out of reality there :d

No surprise. I wonder if they know Soviet Union has ceased to exist? I mean they still have the KGB name in operation after all those years. Even Russia has changed that name to FSB (even though that's the same thing) :evil:

No clue what the IHHF are going to do about the 2021 World Champs. It’s clear Latvia will refuse to co-host with Belarus.

The World Championships will not be in Belarus !

 

The 2021 World Hockey Championships were originally scheduled to be co-organized by Belarus and Latvia, but recent reports from the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) suggest that this will not be the case.

 

Journalist Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News reported on Thursday evening that the IIHF plans to take away the next championship from Belarus and assign it to Russia.

 

The second venue of the championship - Riga, Latvia - has not changed yet.

 

The Slovak Preliminary A-group thus will not be played in Minsk, but very probably in Moscow.

 

Ryan Kennedy informed that IIHF President René Fasel has already communicated the topic with Vladislav Tretiak, President of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation. The relocation of the hockey championship from Belarus to Russia is due to concerns about the safety of tournament participants and fans, as an independent report commissioned by the IIHF in September highlighted legitimate concerns about the current environment in Belarus and also expressed skepticism about coronavirus spread. At the same time, it criticized the measures to deal with the pandemic.

 

The World Hockey Championships are scheduled to take place from May 21 to June 6 next year.

So in this case mixing politics and sports is totally justified? Huh, how hipocritical

Even though Lukasenko is a dictator and someone who is responsible for a violation of human rights, Latvia chose a bad way for defending these rights. Should Belarussian athletes be banned because of their president? Wasnt there any other option than banning them as hosts? 

We are living in hypocritic world, but still it amazes me. 

Lukasenko should be sanctioned, not a country or people.

    • Russian athletes pretty much involved in propaganda with Z symbols and Georgian ribbons, they support war financially, yet either you are blind or you are washed up
    • And I am for your ban here, you are as dumb as newborn baby, except you are much older and you can't even write properly, so go to school at first, learn something and then came back
    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.
