Seventh place overall among the 16 teams advancing to the World Curling Mixed Doubles Championship Eight Finals provides the Czech pair with a relatively easier opponent. This is the result of several days of effort by the 39 countries participating in the Group Round Robin at the 2017 World Mixed Doubles Championships. Though it's hard to imagine anything more relative. The rival of Hajkova and Paul will be the pair of Kiss, Palancza from Hungary at 12.30 local time. First of all, the Hungarians have already managed to win the world championship title in the past and despite a loss at the last World Championships, they have shown excellent performance in the long run. Secondly, at the bottom of the rankings are the Canadians and the Swedes, and they are not outsiders. Zuzka and Tomas are confident about the Hungarians, also because they have competed against them several times and know exactly what to expect. If they win, they can face the Americans or the Finns again. Let's keep our fingers crossed, it's a big deal!!
