Guess the Map 12: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate Mercator

[Lohrenswald]

countries with a seat of a world federation?

no

Or something about hockey?

a little bit

Hungary sport?

I mean personally I would've expected Germany to be on the list and Hungary not but like I don't know if that should count for much

 

[Birdjaguar]

Skiing related?

 

[Lohrenswald]

A bit

 

[Birdjaguar]

So we are into the arena of winter sports.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Very much so

 

[mitsho]

Well then I'm definitely most surprised about the UK being represented there. I thought they only know rain there, not snow.

 

[Takhisis]

Bobsleigh?

 

[Samson]

With the UK up there it cannot be a measure of competitive success in winter sports.

 

[mitsho]

Bobsleigh?

Then where's Jamaica?

(Seriously, good guess)

With the UK up there it cannot to be not a measure of competitive success in winter sports.

Hmm, no Curling? Or... yes you're right.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Bobsleigh?

A bit

With the UK up there it cannot to be not a measure of competitive success in winter sports.

Indeed it's not

 

[Takhisis]

It's not ‘athletes with coronavirus’ or anything like that, is it?

 

[Ferocitus]

Handball?

 

[Lohrenswald]

no to both

 

[Akka]

Countries having hosted Winter Olympics ?

Edit : no, scratch that. Close enough, but a few countries don't match.

 

[Lohrenswald]

no, but you're getting pretty close

 

[tjs282]

So, something to do with ice-hockey (as opposed to field hockey)? I know zip about ice hockey, other than it is played, but it can't be to do with team championships, or I'm sure Russia would be in there(?). But maybe countries currently occupying seats on the/a governing body for the/an international ice hockey league?

Could any Canadian CFC-ers in this thread be more specific?

 

[Kyriakos]

Countries that take the winter olympics seriously?

 

[Samson]

Has professional competitive ice hockey?

 

[Lohrenswald]

Kyriakos is the closest of the last three guesses

 

[mitsho]

I didn't even think of other types than ice hockey when I mentioned hockey... to be honest...

The strange ones out here are the UK, Hungary and to a degree Poland who are coloured, and on the other side Russia, Czechia, Slovakia as well as a few more that certainly should be coloured if even the UK is... For example, Germany has a professional hockey league as well.

I really think I need another hint EDIT: (and delivered )
