Czechs second!
Unfortunately only in Table Curling. The pair Chaloupek, Kubeška confirmed the quality of the Czech curling school and only in the last end of the thrilling final of the international table curling tournament succumbed to the Swedes. On the way to the final they beat for example Norwegians and Scots. Thanks also go to the coaches and fans. The other pair Candra, Bareš narrowly missed out on the semi-finals. In the morning the Czech curling team at the WJCC 2008 lost to the Norwegians mainly thanks to an inaccurately and tactlessly played fifth end, in which the Norse gave us a four. Commentators evaluate the performance of the Czech team as sympathetic. However, this is certainly not a reason to be satisfied. We know well what needs to be improved in order to get better results rather than just sympathy. The men's tie-break was won by the better Norwegians over the Swiss, and they will meet the Americans in the semi-finals. In a below-average-quality Denmark-Canada women's game for the last semi-final position, Danish skip Dupont finished with a failed take out between two Canadian stones, dropping the Canadians among the top four teams in their category. Norway - Czech Republic, 8 : 2.
