Ice Hockey World Cup: Newcomer South Korea is immediately relegated

The Olympic hosts lost 0:3 (0:1, 0:0, 0:2) to Norway in the last preliminary round game and remain bottom of the table in Group B without a point. The team, which was reinforced with six naturalized Canadians, was completely overwhelmed in the top division: it scored only four goals in seven games, lost by double digits twice and conceded a total of 48 goals. The goals for Norway were scored by Tobias Lindström (14th), Thomas Valkae Olsen (47th) and Jonas Holös (51st). Belarus accompanies the South Koreans to the second division. The 2002 Olympic fourth-place finisher had already lost his last chance to stay in the league in a 0-4 defeat against newly promoted Austria in the penultimate group A group game.

Great Britain and Italy are confirmed to be the newcomers. In the evening, record Olympic champions Canada and twelve-time world champions the Czech Republic advanced to the quarter-finals.
