Athletistic/Hockey. Today, October 31, the IIHF provisionally included the Russian national team among the participants in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. However, the final decision has not yet been made. Former head coach of the Russian national team Vyacheslav Bykov spoke about this.
– It is difficult to say anything about this, since the IIHF has “seven Fridays a week”. At this stage, this decision means nothing. Wherever the wind blows, that is the decision they will make. It is no longer an independent organization once they have made their decisions,” SE quoted Bykov as saying.
