Ice hockey-China upset rivals Japan in tense shootout
China forward Mi Le landed the only shootout goal past Japanese net minder Nana Fujimoto to roars from a limited but nonetheless enthusiastic home crowd who chanted and waved flags and banners.
The team did not emerge from the affair unscathed, however, as assistant captain Zhang Mengying collided with a team mate in the first period, crumpled to the ice and had to be removed on a stretcher. She suffered an upper body injury. The top three finishers in the five-member Group B will advance to the quarter-finals and Sunday's triumph puts China in good standing, with Sweden and Denmark both winless so far.
