- LATVIANS Know How To Greet Their Hockey Heroes 🇱🇻
Join me as we Latvia welcomes home their Hockey Heroes.
To mark the occasion, the country cancelled school and work and the country headed to the capital to greet their national hockey team.
We get right in the middle of it and it is an experience I will never forget.
We meet the locals that are feeling proud and ready to party.
Hockey is the number one sport in Latvia, and this is a huge deal, watch to see how this made Riga an even greater city than it already is.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakuski and join me as we visit the amazing city of Riga as it's national sporting heroes are welcomed home.
Thank you to all my Patreons for your support and helping make this channel what it is!

As a Canadian hockey fan whose been spoiled by many championship victories and golds (including this year), I am happy for Latvian fans 🇨🇦🤝🇱🇻 so many years of hard work, blood, sweat and tears from players, coaches, fans and their families that helped get them there. This is what hockey is all about, the hard work, love and dedication for this amazing sport. Historic feat for Latvian hockey ❤️

Hello mate,
I loved this message because knowing that I inspired you to want to learn a new language is fantastic.
If you have the opportunity, then focus and learn your new language... It will enrich your life in so many ways.
Keep up the good work, keep singing and drop me a line when you are in Riga!!!
Latvians go "torille". Just like us finns do when we win gold in ice hockey. The first time we won it was like a national holiday :D Crazy party! I'm so super happy for Latvia winning the bronze medal and perhaps you'll get to compete for the golden medal soon!
I have partied with Fins and I can only imagine what it must be like!!!
I was also a super pleased for Latvia as the team played so well. It was well deserved!!👍👌
We in Latvia actualy got a national holiday for the win.
Thanks for bringing us this momentus occasion!
It was an amazing moment and an even more amazing event!
It was a complete pleasure making this video and sharing it with you guys👌👍
Hello there. I am here from Justin live session. I can't message you directly, but maybe you can! Well I don't know how to else reach you else Maruta. You seems so interesting women.
I am also interested into minerals, rocks and crystals ( actual minerals, rocks and crystals) Not Drugggzzz
Thank You from Latvia, Riga! Your video is more valuable for Latvia, than some deputy job🌞👍
Thank you my friend I will be sure to let you know when I start my political campaign 😜😄
Well...some people didn't read the part that exams haven't been canceled, so the kids still did exams, the kids from secondary schools at least.
finally our country become famous :)
Congratulations mate👍
Oh man it was great game!
I agree mate!
right place in right time
👍😃
Very like your videos!🎉
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. 👍👌
Mr. Justin, since last week I discovered your channel . Great content , good vibes and I love it 😻! In augustus I will be in Riga 🎉 greets your fan from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Nice one😂! Enjoy your journey, too!
Thank you so much for watching. 👍👌
Latvia looks awesome and it’s good they are into hockey. I know Riga has a football team. Awesome video as always sir. Sorry about the essay I wrote on another thread of yours I need to stop posting when I drink 🍺.
Hi Judd,
Thank you so much for your comments, including the long ones!!!
I feel everyone should feel proud of their heritage and where they come from... So thumbs up there mate👍
@@J.E.E thanks mate
@@J.E.E yeah I agree there’s so much baggage that comes with our flag and country, so being British/English and patriotic comes with certain accusations if you get what I mean, it’s a shame. But I absolutely love the Baltic states and how they don’t take any shit from China and other bully countries. They have been through some crap as well as Ukraine. That place cannot catch a break. I actually like the Soviet architecture, war memorials and stuff but u can understand why they don’t.
in latvia, hockey players are biggest celebrities you can have. Musicians, actors, etc, nobody cares, but hockey players are in everyones hearts.
Proud, proud 🇱🇻💖🤩
Thanks for sharing Go Latvia!
Thank you for a nice video! Such a great event for Latvians!
Class wee video as always 🎉👍
Thank you mate,
GOOD JOB
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. 👍👌
I was there it was so hard to breathe me and my friend had to go really far and just listen because we couldnt see anything
What an awesome that must have been! I wish one day I can cheer the nation on in Ice hockey:) Cheers mate!
Oh mate it was absolutely fantastic,
The vibe created by the fans was absolutely amazing and an experience I will never forget👌👍
Sarauj!!!
😃👍
Almost 50 000 people come to that place. :)
Shame on Canada. They won gold and no one in Canada barely noticed.
Well, what can be done if the Flames don't even advance and the Maple Leafs fail at the beginning? Let's write off this year as Canadian apathy towards hockey.
Even I covered some moments from the celebration ❤
I live in latvia
🥳
👍👌
School exams didn't get cancelled though. Unis, maybe.
What a beautiful crowed JK
Indeed it was, the energy was pumping and I will never forget this experience👍
Рига рулит!
finnish: torilla tavataan
latvian: tiekamies tirgū
english: see you at the marketplace
YEA SCHOOL WAS CANCELED BUT THE EXAM WASNT
Thank you for clarifying
It's good to see their happy faces 🤩
and why there are so many indians in the video?
there are many indian students in riga (mostly studying medicine or technical university)
Those are mostly students
Well, I just hope Latvia will stay Latvian.
@@j.a4196 Well, Justin is not Latvian, too. And those Finnish and Swedish students neither. You didn’t ask about them. So it’s more about race, isn’t it.. 🙄
@@ines_uk Yes, it is. Haven't you seen India? I don't want Latvia to become like India, it can happen if Latvia lets them stay. I clearly heard they are tourists/students. The other guy looks like he's from the Middle East, Swedish in passport only lol. but when I watch videos about Latvia I see lots of Indians in the background. Baltic countries, their people and culture are almost in extinction, they should protect themselves. Latvia for Latvians, England for the English, India for Indians, why is that controversial? 🙄
0:56 exams weren't cancelled
They were cancelled in high schools and universities, excluding 9th class.
Šilovs mūris
England futbol🎉🎉🎉
There are many latvians who are speaking good english, pity that you manadged to meet mostly the ones who doesn't.
I know a lot of black and speak very good English but it's still a lot of fun👍👌
The exams were not cancelled.
Not for high schoolers no, for uni students yes.
Thank you for clarifying Sanita👍
Exams weren't canceled, work was tho
Thank you for clarifying👌👍
"England, football" lol ONE World Cup, 0 Euro, Aussies smash you @ The Ashes, i suppose you now have a king..... :-)
😜😜😜
No more videos from Armenia 🇦🇲? 🧐
Plenty more Armenia to come my friend please stay tuned👍
I had exmen that day
I hope it went well for you👍
No way you are from England, you sound like american lol
The same joy was in North Korea when they became World Soccer Champions.
Закрой рот, тролль
And they were the official Unofiicial Football World Champions for more than a year. 15/11/2011 - 23/01/2013.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unofficial_Football_World_Championships
I am so tired of "hahaha North Korea thought they are champions". Yes, they actually were, only by different calculation method.
@@artursruseckis4242 calculation method is not exactly a championship tournament... there can be many calculation methods, such as to reverse actual tournament score table and assume last one won, etc.
ko tas melnais tur ieklidis?? lai tinaas atpkal no kurienes atbraucis!
Hater?
Just imagine if populations cared this much for TRUE freedom, instead of these kinds of distractions.. "Bread and circuses" as it's stated!
So why do you seek attention for such high and honored thing as TRUE freedom in a such distracted environment. People are proud of their team and what they achieved in this tournament. Maybe if you ,TRUE freedom preachers, fought for what you preach as this Latvian team did, you would also get the crowd cheering for you
I can not believe I found a comment like yours.........i am absolutely with you.....all F-ing distraction, to rob out estates and enslave us. sleeping zombies
@@daivaseleviciene3561 the loud woke minority on internet will not achieve this. They can make riots and destruction, but they cant make 50000 people to go into city streets and do anything peaceful and happy like here. The only incidents here were some people collapsed only by overheating, no violence involved.
I just wish this victory didn't come at the taxpayer's expense. Those who care about it should sponsor the team.
Виноград сегодня такой кислий 😂😂😂
Imagine being so butthurt about other's success? You'll be paying those taxes anyways
@@triplexgg I'd like my taxes to go to a good cause. Or ideally for them to lower.
@@MrSovetsky Fun fact for you buddy. Countries that achieve great success in big sport events like World Cups etc see usually a pretty big influx of tourists, so dont you worry about the expanses. Tourists will pay you back :)
@@bohomazdesign725 please provide research to back that claim. You are not the first to connect the two issues. But as far as I am aware there is none. Outside europe people know Latvia through NBA players not national team performance. That's my experience at least.
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗😁😁😁😁
Thank you so much for watching. 👍👌
