2012 WJC Finals, Women. Czech Republic - Scotland.
this is the prolink to the live stream: http://www.wjcc2012.curlingevents.com/ I'll limit myself to occasional commentary today, if I have the nerve and momentary capacity. You'll see it all during the stream, and I'll finally have a perfect overview of what's in the circles. First end: zero. In the second end, the play develops. We're stubbornly going after the guards and the Scots are trying too. Finally, one, but played at great risk. 1-0 up. In the third end, rolls are played around our center guard, but no one is quite accurate yet. Finally, after our mistake, the Scots write a two. The score is 1 to 2. Our fans are amazing, they were the only reason the crowd came out to the stands today. At the end of the 4th end, the score is measured and it looks like a Czech one, but let's wait. The umpires are still looking for the measuring stick. Czech one!!! 2-2. Fifth end is defensive. Iveta plays a stay and only three more stones to the break. Zero and 2 : 2 at the half. In the sixth end, Hannah Fleming throws the last stone against our three and it's hit and stay. Scottish stone ends up being the best. We're in a hit and stay in the seventh end against our one against Skotek's three. Iveta at 100%. The score is 3 to 3. In the eighth end, zero, and we try to play a one against in the ninth end. Or force the opponent to one. Both would work. Hannah Fleming plays a fabulous stone on the Scottish deuce. We're down 3-5. Tenth end. Two time-outs. After a great performance, we're down two. We're 5-5. Unfortunately, the connection went down in the hall, so I'm just writing now. You probably all saw it, but just to be safe, Fleming throws the last stone against the two in the rings. She narrowly knocked out our better stone, and on the roll, she hit her worse stone, but that gave her the best stone. That's a Skotek win. Czechs, silver. Now we can fully say it's a great success. And in a category that signals good times for Czech curling. Thank you all for your support. Congratulations especially to the team of Iveta Janatová, Zuzka Hájková. Eva Málková, Klára Svatoňová and Petra Vinšová. Thanks also to the fans: Luky, Sam , SP, Zelí, Lžička and David. Thanks to the leader of the expedition Anicka - everything worked out. We are looking forward to going home.
