#WomensWorldChallenge recap! 🏒

The Women’s World Challenge in Green Bay featured four teams – Canada, Great Britain, USA and a Team World - made up of athletes from different nations. They competed in a round-robin style tournament followed by a medal round.

The USA won gold on home ice, Canada took silver and Team World earned bronze during the tournament, which took place between 26 and 28 August. 

Athletes like Latvia’s Dina Grinberga (pic 8) were taking part in their first major competition, supported previously by the IPC’s development programmes. 

“I like being with a team. I like that we are all together on the ice, we are not alone.” 

After taking part in a development programme for women held last year in Ostrava, Czech Republic, Grinberga said the sport grew on her and became something she wants to continue pursuing.

Peggy Assinck, Canadian player and participant of IPC’s past programmes, said women face different challenges depending on their level. At the grassroots level, she said, ice hockey is not the most inclusive sport to begin with.

“I love the fact that we're now supporting the creation of women's programmes that are entirely for women to be playing against women and to highlight their skills in a female environment because that's really where women are going to be able to shine.”
