Luc Tardif called the absence of Russian national team titles in the 2024 World Cup broadcast a mistake
The President of the International Hockey Federation (IIHF), Luc Tardif, expressed one word about the lack of information about the titles of the Russian national team in the broadcast of the 2024 World Championship. His words are quoted by TASS.
The head of the IIHF called it a mistake that the broadcast did not show Russia among the three most titled national teams in the history of world championships.
In the video broadcast of the 2024 World Cup, only the Canadian national team was mentioned, with 28 victories, the Czech Republic (12 titles combined with the victories of Czechoslovakia) and Sweden (11 trophies). At the same time, the Russian team became the world champion five times, and the USSR team had 22 victories (27 titles in total).
The 2024 World Cup takes place in Prague and Ostrava, Czech Republic, from May 10 to 26. The national teams of Russia and Belarus are missing the tournament due to sanctions from the IIHF. In addition, fans were prohibited from bringing any symbols of the two countries into the stands.
