Russian athletes continue to be punished because of the war unleashed by their country’s leadership in Ukraine.
Another punishment for Russian sports, for the war unleashed by the Kremlin on Ukraine. The International Ice Hockey Federation has stripped Russia of the right to host the 2023 World Championship. This is stated on the website of the organization.
Who will be given the right to host the tournament will be decided later – at the annual Finnish congress in Tampere, to be held in the last week of this year’s World Championship.
It will be recalled that earlier the IIHF had already deprived Russia of the right to host the 2023 Youth World Championship due to the situation in Ukraine, which was to be held in Omsk and Novosibirsk from December 26, 2022 to January 5, 2023.
In addition, the national ice hockey teams of Russia and Belarus have been suspended from all international competitions, including the 2022 World Championship.
