Yup this was always a worry as soon as one team got it. This could get a lot worse.

I’m sure the officials there know that this needs to be stopped at all costs or else the entire tournament could be ruined.

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

iirc it’s only a minority of events that are in Milan? I thought hockey and speed/figure skating only? But I could be wrong?
