Latvia's national ice hockey team won the Deutschland Cup tournament at the end of last week with a convincing performance. The team had managed to take the title in this competition only once before, which makes the latest triumph stand out against its earlier record.

Meanwhile, Latvian athletics has suffered a loss: Agate Caune, one of the country's best track and field athletes, has unexpectedly announced that she is leaving professional sport. The summary does not give the reasons behind her decision.

Speculation around Porziņģis

New speculation has begun around Latvian basketball player Kristaps Porziņģis, who made his decision a week earlier. The talk concerns whether he could return to Europe. The source offers no confirmation of these rumours.

Antonelli and the football team

Kimi Antonelli, the new Formula 1 world champion, will from now on wear the Latvian national football team shirt. The summary does not explain in what context this will happen.

Russians and ice hockey

Russians who want to wear their own team jerseys again at the ice hockey world championship are facing ever new resistance.

These developments are collected in Delfi's daily sports roundup, which covers the most important events of the past day and what is worth watching in the near future.
