from the Prague Post,
Chinese sports officials have asked their Czech counterparts to teach Chinese ice hockey and biathlon for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, daily Mladá fronta Dnes (MfD) writes today.
“Chinese are a nation that wants to be successful,” Roman Kumpost, head of the Czech Olympic Committee (COV) foreign affairs section, is quoted as saying....
He said ice hockey clubs were only in a single Chinese province.
Peng Liu said he was amazed at their tremendous number on such a small territory in the CzechRepublic.
However, the Chinese ice hockey team can only take part in the 2022 Olympics if it is within the first 18 national teams in the world. As it now ranks 38th, it needs to rise rapidly up, MfD writes.
“In this way, we used to teach Russians in the 1950s. You know the outcome,” Kejval said.
“You may doubt whether this is a good idea. On the other hand, if we do not teach them, they will ask Canadians to do so,” he added.
