The Czechs did not beat the Norwegians. Legends are looking forward to the Czech Republic.
The Norwegians proved they are one of the best teams in the world. They played with patience, read the complicated ice well and were able to adapt their game accordingly. Our team had to take some risks after half of the endgame, but the offensive intentions didn't work out, so the Czechs gave up the game at 8-2 to the Northmen. Denmark defeated Finland, Canada easily crushed the nervous French in six ends and the Japanese saw the Chinese off the ice rather quickly.My meeting with the curling legends - the four-time world champion Richardson brothers and cousins - was as much about curling: "A lot has changed. We, when we played our first World Championships in Scotland, had never even been outside our province before and had never even heard of our opponents. The main reason for our participation was that there was a chance to go with curling to the then Winter Olympics. Unfortunately, curling had not yet made it onto the Winter Games programme at that time," says Wes Richardson. But here's what he had to say about a possible visit to the Czech Republic. Arnold may come, and he says he is looking forward to it. The friendly skip of the foursome - Ernie (pictured right) - sends his regards to the Czech Republic and wishes everyone good luck. We certainly take that wish and look forward to seeing it come true. photo: The Richardsons took me on (missing Sam), probably because of my age. Nor Svae is dropping out.
