World Championship Group B (Norway)
Played in Oslo and Lillehammer 30 March to 9 April. The 5 April game between Norway and Austria was officially adjusted to 8-0 for Norway because of Siegfried Haberl's positive drug test. Standard procedure, since 1969, had been for Group B and Group C to exchange two teams. That stopped this year, fortunately for Japan, unfortunately for Yugoslavia.
