From offense to defense, from technical and tactical application to physical distribution, in the 90-minute confrontation, the athletes fully demonstrated the charm of the sport of ice hockey. On January 29, the Swedish women's ice hockey team conducted an intra-team training session at the Wukesong Sports Center, and the players had a lot of rewards.
Walking off the ice, Captain Emma Notting praised the venue: "The ice surface is great, the facilities and equipment are very advanced, although I have not been able to carefully experience all aspects of the venue, but the dressing rooms and other comfortable and clean, impressive." ”
After arriving in Beijing, from the capital airport to the Winter Olympic Village, seeing the endless flow of people and vehicles along the way, as well as the Olympic signs and Winter Olympic landscapes everywhere, Emma Notting has already felt the strong Winter Olympic atmosphere. Staying in the Winter Olympic Village, the apartment rooms and the facilities in the village are complete and very intimate. She used 3 "super"s to describe it all: "The Winter Olympic Village is super, super, super, I'm super happy." ”

Emma Notting said she and her teammates will take stock of the team's experience over the years and take every opponent seriously. According to the current schedule shown by the Beijing Winter Olympics information system, Sweden will face China in the group stage on February 7. "We're ready." Emma Notting said.

Talking about the "ice ribbon", the athletes did not hesitate to praise. "The ice and the venue are still relatively new to us. We have just arrived in Beijing, although we are tired, but fortunately the ice surface is very good, we will come back to training, and it will definitely be better when the time comes. "After training on 29 January, Italian speed skater Francesca LoroBrigida did not leave immediately, but took photos with his teammates inside the stadium." We all love this venue, its color scheme matches our team uniform, and it feels special to be able to play in this environment. Francesca Lolo Brygida said.
