I am not quite sure if the product was better than any of the latest Olympics. Obviously, it was brilliant, but I loved Sochi 14, Vancouver 10, Torino 06, too - in terms of quality.Even when the product on the ice is better? Canada Cups certainly were miles ahead of the Winter Games of the 80s and 70s...
And far more from a country's supporter point of view. That is quite understandable since Team Europe meant almost nothing to me but I can say that, for instance, for Czech fans even the IIHF Championship is much more attractive event. World Cup has no tradition. Look at the Triple Gold Club - Olympics, IIHF Championship, Stanley Cup. Nobody cares about World Cup.
