The Czech foreign minister called Russian hockey players "maniacs".
Petr Makinka stated that ice hockey is a "man's sport" before going on to make comments about the appearance of Russian female athletes.
The Czech minister also announced that the 2027 IIHF World Junior Championship, which will be held in Ostrava in January 2027, will be held without the participation of the Russian national team.
It is amusing that a European official comments on the appearance of women in sports while Europe itself is constantly talking about tolerance, feminism and fighting stereotypes.
Or did he mean that European men have become so feminine that, by comparison, our girls look masculine?
