China withdraws from both World Championships!

China’s Bandy Federation has now announced that both the Chinese teams, men and women, will withdraw from the Bandy World Championships. The Chinese teams would have played in the World Championships in Oslo for women, February 19-22, and for men in Irkutsk March 1-6. The Chinese Bandy Federation has made the decision due to the corona virus outbreak in China and China’s consideration of other participating teams in both tournaments.
