Conclusion

While seven Olympians seem like a lot for a team that’s finished 31st and 30th the past two seasons, there’s a strong case to be made for all of them. This list is far from exhaustive, as other names considered include Mads Søgaard (Denmark), Colin White, Josh Norris (USA), the aforementioned Artem Zub (Russia), Christian Jaros (Slovakia), Lassi Thomson (Finland), and more. Any of these players or the ones deemed longshots, could surprise and make the team, just as those who appear to lock today could suffer setbacks or be surpassed by youngsters having breakouts.

While the 2022 Olympics aren’t all that far away, there’s still time for players to make their cases to be part of their countries quests for gold in Beijing.
