Magnus Nygren doesn’t think anyone wants to go to the Beijing Olympics, where there is quarantine and games for empty stands.
Hockey The NHL League is throwing a towel in the ring at participating in the Beijing Olympics. It opens up the possibility for hockey players in Europe to play Olympic hockey, but a Swedish player from HC Davos, Switzerland Magnus Nygren question this.
“We’re not as good players, we don’t make as much money, we don’t play in the biggest leagues, but the fact remains: we want to play in fair, safe conditions,” says Nygren. In the Expressen.
The NHL is leaving Beijing due to the worsening coronavirus situation. Numerous matches have already been canceled in the NHL. In addition, several players have indicated that they do not want to go to Beijing precisely for corona reasons.

Nygren strikes back: he asks why it has been said for sure that the hockey players playing in Europe want the Olympics.
“We want to play in the most normal conditions possible. No one – and I’m pretty sure I’m speaking for everyone – wants to go to China, be quarantined and play in an Olympic tournament just to get them played. And for empty auditoriums, as seems to be happening, ”Nygren says.
“‘ Then send the damn loess out of Europe ’- that’s what it feels like. No one seems to care how we see it. ”
Nygren does not want to comment on whether the Olympics should be held at all. What is essential to him now is that if the NHL can’t go, why can others.
“Sure, they have more matches, but we also have a match schedule that should be followed and that should be completed within a certain amount of time,” says Nygren.
“If they [NHL-pelaajat] do not go why we send a large number of planes from Europe [olympialaisiin]? ”
However, if Nygren himself receives an invitation to the Olympics, he plans to go.
