A question mark remains over which teams will participate in the Olympic ice hockey tournaments in Milan-Cortina. Russia has indeed qualified in both the men's and women's competitions., but still does not know if she will be allowed to line up. France is also paying the price, as it is waiting to find out if she will be drafted in to prepare its teams accordingly. The subject will, however, be decided in the next few days.
« This will be resolved in the coming week., confides Luc Tardif, president of the IHHF, questioned by Free Games. An announcement will be made at the congress (Thursday, May 22), knowing that it is an IOC decision. "The manager is also pleased that this matter is about to be definitively resolved: " It's a few months away, the teams should know if they're playing or not. We have schedules to make, teams have to buy tickets, there are sponsors, families, etc. I was sure that we would find out during the congress. »
