Turneu de hochei sub apă la Hong Kong. Sportivii explică de ce îl practică

In Hong Kong, an unusual underwater hockey tournament challenges players with the risk of drowning. Swimmers equipped with curved sticks hold their breath while diving for a weighted puck at the bottom of a pool. This year's event attracted enthusiasts from across Asia, showcasing the physically demanding nature of the sport. Each team consists of six players, with no goalkeepers, and matches last 30 minutes. Although not yet an Olympic sport, underwater hockey is recognized by the International Olympic Committee and aims for greater visibility through social media. Players are now looking forward to the upcoming World Championship in France.
