Czech Republic versus USA.

If we have a match from 9.00 we have breakfast at 7.20 and a short walk to the hall. In the last two days the sun has started to shine and the temperatures have dropped. We are struggling a bit with erratic performances, sometimes mismatched estimates, sometimes weight and here and there direction. We put on a strong offensive against the US, so strong in places that we almost drowned ourselves in it. But we still managed to discipline the game in time to take the lead 6 to 3. At the end we were worried about the result, so we preferred not to take the offered deuce with a slight risk and went to zero. We threw the last stone against our opponent's ability to go for the extra end, but Anna made it through and we got the win. Next on the track, the French beat the Swiss sensationally and next door the Germans lost narrowly to China. The Scots held on to the Canadians to the last stone. We're going to Canada tonight, it's going to be meat.rn
