Players and staff Kunlun Red Star will not comment on the situation regarding the fact that the team’s hockey players are not included in the Chinese national team for Olympic qualification, the press service of the KHL club reported.
In February, the Chinese team failed in the third stage of qualifying for the 2026 Olympic Games in Italy, ending the fight for qualification for the tournament. Not a single player from Kunlun was included in the Chinese national team for these matches.
— All questions relate only to today’s match. We do not comment on issues regarding the national team, because it is the decision of the Chinese Hockey Federation,” Kunlun press secretary Alina Klinkova said at a press conference after the match against CSKA.
