In the Czech team, one beer is allowed.
After the Corona Bubble Championships, the World Cup players have been released again.
The U.S. team already set an example during the early stages. According to the information, some of the players have already become acquainted with Tampere’s nightlife on two different evenings.
Over the years, North Americans in particular have excelled at partying. It has also been seen as a problem for the credibility of the World Cup. However, when the best players aren’t involved, will the annual World Cup be taken as a nice fun trip?
The lions, on the other hand, are the opposite example. The Finns have avoided similar fusses.
Team leader Mika Kortelainen said on Friday that players will not be locked in their hotel rooms, but will have the opportunity to go out to eat. Just like in the NHL, it is done on game trips.
Piloting the Czech national team Kari Jalonen there is no blocking if players want to have one beer while eating. The brightest star in the Czech Republic, known as the beer nation David Pastrnak even wanted to get to know Finnish malt drinks.
– Yes, we allow it, Jalonen replied immediately.
However, there are limits to everything.
– Our team won’t leave for the night. I don’t think it’s worth it in these races, it doesn’t help anything.
– It is not part of the activities of professional athletes when playing for the championship. Don’t worry, Jalonen smiled after him.
