The father of the Swiss national hockey team said that many in Europe do not understand the decision to remove Russia from the World Cup

The father of Swiss hockey player Philip Kurashev, Konstantin Kurashev, said that many Europeans do not understand the decision to remove the Russian national teams from tournaments under the auspices of the International Hockey Federation (IIHF), but they do not officially talk about it.

The Russian team missed the 2022 World Cup in Finland due to IIHF sanctions and was not allowed to participate in the 2023 World Cup, which was moved from St. Petersburg to Finland and Latvia.

– I watched the games of the Swiss national team because my son plays there. But it doesn’t matter. I’m not a politician, not some kind of propagandist, I don’t understand this dismissal. I talked with many acquaintances: Austrians, Swiss, Finns, Swedes, Americans, and a strange situation turns out. Officially, everyone kind of supports this suspension, but not for official interviews, many say: “We don’t understand this.” Although there are those who really support.

Of course, the World Cup without Russia is not exactly what all experts and fans would like to see. A very strange situation. I don’t know how you can watch football without Brazil or basketball without the American team. I don’t understand why this is happening.

Suspension from tournaments next year? This is generally incomprehensible. It just happened the other day, I don’t know why. Some vague explanations from representatives of the International Ice Hockey Federation. It’s very strange,” Kurashev said in an interview with “Championship”.

Finland is the winner of the 2022 tournament.
