Czech Republic has three wins! Hoferka will play against USA.
Today's morning round means the end of Finland's hopes (losing to China 7-9) to participate in the Olympic Games. The Australians will miss out. The Danes have climbed to the top. The Czech team is in eleventh place after ten games and already with a better record than last year, with three wins. Jiří Snítil's team can add a fourth, in the ongoing match against the USA. Miloš Hoferka, the fifth player of the team, is also on the ice for the first time and has been performing invisible but very important tasks in reading the quality of the stones during the evening training sessions. photo: Miloš Hoferka The French came into the game against the Czechs weakened by their skip Thomas Dufour, who was feeling very ill in the morning. Angibout who took over his role had visible problems with some situations. On the other hand, the Czechs played very accurate stones in many moments and led the match to victory. In the ninth end, the French could have gone to a difference of one with a double take out and tried to play one without advantage on the extra end in the last end, but after a mistake we wrote one and the tenth end was just a formality.
