男子冰球世锦赛的主要赞助商表示,如果俄罗斯参赛,将“重新评估”对该赛事的支持。
The main sponsor of the men’s ice hockey world championship says it will “reassess” its backing for the tournament if Russia takes part.
詹姆斯·埃林沃斯 斯柯达作为该赛事超过30年的主要赞助商,这一立场给国际冰球联合会带来了更大压力。
JAMES ELLINGWORTH The stance of Skoda, which has been the main sponsor for more than 30 years, puts more pressure on the International Ice Hockey Federation.
体育仲裁法院上周的一项裁决迫使国际冰球联合会解除对俄罗斯国家队的禁赛,该禁赛自2022年因乌克兰战争实施以来一直有效。明年5月在德国举行的男子锦标赛的16个参赛国中,近一半拒绝与俄罗斯比赛。加拿大政府也表示,不会允许俄罗斯参加下个月在加拿大举行的世青锦标赛。
A Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling last week obliged the IIHF to lift its exclusion of Russian national teams, which had been in place since 2022 over the war in Ukraine Almost half of the 16 nations in the men’s championship in Germany next May are refusing to play Russia The Canadian government also says it will not allow Russia to compete at the world junior championship there starting next month.
“我们不支持体育仲裁法院关于俄罗斯国家队参加国际冰球联合会赛事的决定。随着俄罗斯的侵略行为持续,我们认为俄罗斯国家队重返世锦赛与我们始终秉持的价值观不相符,”这家总部位于捷克共和国、隶属于德国大众集团的汽车制造商周三在一封电子邮件声明中表示。
“We do not support the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision regarding the participation of Russian national teams in IIHF competitions. With Russia’s aggression continuing, we believe the Russian national team’s return to the world championship is incompatible with the values we have consistently upheld,” the Czech Republic-based automaker, which is part of Germany’s Volkswagen Group, said in an e-mailed statement Wednesday.
“如果俄罗斯国家队参加该赛事,我们将重新评估对该赛事的参与,并采取进一步行动。我们正在积极关注事态发展,与合作伙伴保持密切联系,并相信可以找到一个建设性的解决方案。”其他赞助商也对俄罗斯的回归表示批评。诺基安轮胎表示,如果俄罗斯参赛,将终止其支持;家具制造商AJ产品公司自1989年起一直是赛事赞助商,该公司周一表示,将要求不显示其标志。
“If the Russian national team takes part in the tournament, we will reassess our involvement in the tournament and take further action. We are actively monitoring the situation, remain in close contact with our partners and are confident that a constructive solution can be found.”Other sponsors have been critical of Russia’s return. Nokian Tyres said it would end its backing if Russia takes part and furniture maker AJ Products, a tournament sponsor since 1989, said Monday it would ask for its logo not to be shown.
国际冰球联合会称解除对俄罗斯禁赛的影响“被低估” 国际冰球联合会周三表示,该裁决的影响已被“显著低估”,并称仍在决定如何回应。
IIHF says impact of lifting Russia exclusion ‘underestimated’ The IIHF said Wednesday that the impact of the ruling had been “significantly underestimated” and said it was still deciding how to react.
国际冰球联合会表示:“国际冰球联合会已知悉主要利益相关方近期就这一决定发表的声明,并正在仔细分析围绕国际体育仲裁法庭裁决的各种情形。”
“The IIHF is aware of the recent statements made from key stakeholders regarding this decision and is carefully analyzing the scenarios around CAS’s ruling,” it said.
“正如向国际体育仲裁法庭陈述的那样,俄罗斯队伍立即重返赛场会带来重大的实际和竞技挑战,包括签证和入境要求、安保措施、后勤限制以及对赛制的影响,而这一切又因可用时间有限而更加复杂,有些赛事仅剩数周之遥。”
“As presented to the CAS, the immediate reintegration of Russian teams presents significant practical and sporting challenges, including visa and entry requirements, security provisions, logistical constraints and consequences for competition formats, all compounded by the limited time available, with some events only weeks away.
“国际体育仲裁法庭仲裁小组所作决定的全球影响,以及它给所有相关方带来的挑战,都被严重低估了。”奥地利加入了欧洲国家的抵制行列。芬兰、瑞典、捷克、挪威、丹麦和拉脱维亚已表示,他们将参加本届赛事,但不会与俄罗斯比赛。自芬兰周一表明立场以来,抵制阵营不断扩大。
“The global impact of the decision made by the CAS Panel and the challenges it creates for all involved were significantly underestimated.”Austria joins European nations’ boycott Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Norway, Denmark and Latvia have said they will play the tournament but not games against Russia, in a growing boycott since Finland declared its position Monday.
周二晚些时候,奥地利冰球联合会成为第七个加入抵制的联合会。其首席执行官亚历山大·赫尔维希对奥地利广播公司表示,“就目前而言,我们肯定不会与俄罗斯比赛”,这是欧洲更广泛反对行动的一部分。
The Austrian federation became the seventh to join late Tuesday when its CEO Alexander Helwig told broadcaster ORF that “as of now, we would certainly not play against Russia,” as part of broader European opposition.
俄罗斯体育部长米哈伊尔·杰格佳廖夫周二通过塔斯社发表声明称,他预计如果其他国家弃权,俄罗斯应被判获胜,并表示俄罗斯将向国际奥委会通报可能的抵制情况以及赛事主办国的行为。点击此处查看美联社的完整体育报道
