ZOH 2022 |  What’s on his back?  Slovaks in Beijing were upset by embarrassment around their hockey star

TPS striker Slafkovský is one of the greatest talents of his year in the world, he is counted in the elite five at the NHL draft and confirmed his extra class in the Olympic premiere.

However, the name of the rising Slovak star probably does not have such a sound outside the narrow circle of avid fans and experts. This is evidenced by the distorted name tag on his back, where Slafkovksy stood instead of Slafkovský.

“The embarrassment of the Chinese: Oh, what they did with Juraj Slafkovsky’s jersey,” complains, for example, the Slovak tabloid Nový Čas.
