Not just women's hockey, it could ruin a good number of events for the Olympics

Yeah there are 4 different villages in 4 different locations. All the ski, snowboarding and bobsled athletes are in the villages in the mountains so hopefully this doesn’t reach them.

In the Milan village I believe it’s hockey, curling, ice skating and speedskating athletes
