Chinese hockey players beat Iceland, their strongest rival, 4-1 at the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey U20 World Championship Division III in Dunedin, New Zealand on Jan. 17. However, after their victory, the Chinese national anthem was unable to be played due to a technical error, according to the host country. Instead, the players stood up and began to sing the national anthem together. The team members, all under 20, are working hard to prepare for the 2020 Beijing Winter Olympics.
