The 27-year-old forward Haralds Egle was a relatively unknown player to a wider group of Latvian hockey fans, as he has not participated in world championships before. After spending ten years in North America, the native of Liepāja is now continuing his career in Europe, and this spring he clearly proved himself as a member of the Latvian national team, playing in the center forward position, which has long been a “scarce commodity” in our national team. “You can rely on me at both ends of the field,” Egle described himself in a conversation with TVNET+, who earned the sympathy of the head coach of the Latvian national team, Harijs Vītoliņš.
Egle played this season in the Slovakian extra league team “MHK 32” from Liptovski Mikuláš. In the regular championship, in 49 games, the striker of the Latvian national team scored 11 goals and made 28 assists (39 points). On the other hand, in the “play-off” tournament, he scored four points (1+3) in five matches.
This spring, Egle scored his first goal as part of the Latvian national team, and with two accurate “bullies” he helped beat Austria 3:2 in the penalty shootout in the test match.

The Dutch three-time world champion of Red Bull took the eight points of first place and left behind Charles Leclerc in Ferrari, while the three podiums were completed by Sergio Perez in the second Red Bull. Daniel Ricciardo was fourth with RB, taking his first points in this year’s championship, as he managed to hold off the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz Jr. Oscar Piastri finished sixth with McLaren and Nico Hulkenberg seventh with Haas, while the top eight was completed by Yuki Tsunoda with the second RB.
It is worth noting that Lewis Hamilton had originally finished eighth in a Mercedes, but the seven-time world champion was penalized with a pit lane penalty for violating the speed limit in the pit lane. Thus, 20 seconds were added to the Briton’s time, as a result of which he “fell” in the ranking and the Japanese climbed to eighth.
It is worth mentioning the fact that a safety car came out in the first lap of the sprint, as the Aston Martins of Stroll and Alonso collided with each other at the first corner, with the result that the Spaniard “pushed” the Canadian into the McLaren of Lando Norris and the latter two retire,

After leading 2 to 0 then 3 to 2 against Lyon, Monday May 6 during the 32e day of Ligue 1, LOSC collapsed to finally lose at home 4-3, thus missing the opportunity to get on the podium which ensures direct qualification for the Champions League.
Two matches from the end of the championship, the northern club remains in fourth position – two points behind Brest held in check against Nantes (0-0) on Saturday – a place which offers the right to access the play-offs of the lucrative and prestigious European Cup, a stage which does not generally succeed for French clubs.
This defeat is as much the result of the self-sacrifice of the Lyonnais as the mental bankruptcy and inexperience of the Lille team who nevertheless offered a nail-biting first period, notably scoring twice. First by Bafodé Diakité with a superb header after a free kick from Yusuf Yazici (1-0, 21e), then by Edon Zhegrova, with a precise and surprising strike if not powerful to deceive the vigilance of Anthony Lopes from outside the area (2-0,
