Twittera atskaņas: Latvijas bronzas hokejistus sveic un apbrīno visā pasaulē

Harija Vītoliņa trenētā Latvijas izlase ar rezultātu 4:3 papildlaikā pārspēja ASV hokejistus, uzvaras vārtus gūstot aizsargam Kristiānam Rubīnam. Latvijas izlases cīņassparu, fanus un emocijas apbrīno visā plašajā pasaulē. Hokeja fani ASV pamanījuši, ka Latvija ir ļoti maza valsts – pāris ASV pilsētu lielumā, savukārt citi norāda, ka mūsu spēlētāji laukumā atdevuši visus spēkus. Netrūkst arī hokeja ekspertu, kuri šo maču atzinuši par labāko bronzas maču pēdējo pasaules čempionātu laikā.

Divus vārtus Latvijai guva Kristiāns Rubīns, pa vieniem – Roberts Bukarts un Jānis Jaks, bet ASV divus vārtus guva Roko Grimaldi, vienus – Mets Koronato.

Pasaules čempionātu kopīgi rīko Somijas pilsēta Tampere un Rīga.

Congratulations to dear Latvian friends with a historic achievement at the Ice Hockey World Championship! We're proud and impressed! 🇱🇻🥉

As Teemu Selanne said – You win the bronze, you lose to get silver. He always preferred the bronze medal to a silver one and Latvia's celebration is a great reminder of why. Good for them and good for the future of hockey. https://t.co/5vMdnLHbHl

Arturs Silovs and Latvia were just minutes away from leaving the 2023 World Hockey Championship with nothing but good memories.

Instead, they left with a bronze medal that felt as good as gold.https://t.co/ZB7SBOMUId
