Canada is dominating, Czechs have already finished.

Just the fact that I'm stuck in the Minneapolis airport due to a snowstorm allows me to write a few lines. This afternoon's game against France began with the Czech team being introduced and the Czech national anthem being played. But the game was more in the hands of the French. At first the game was played quite cautiously, with fewer stones in play, but two received fours in the second part of the game decided the result. Dufour played at 90% and Mathieu even at 94%. The last round robin sends Canada, Scotland, China and Norway into the medal fight. At the other end, the Czechs finish with two wins. They couldn't follow up their very good start with a mediocre Sweden in the last game. Despite leading several times, we lose narrowly and the Czechs have one Olympic point in their record from this World Championship. In the North American derby Canada wins clearly 10 to 4.
