Men have left their world behind.
This year's absolutely frantic season is at its peak. Four major world championships are, against all odds, on the agenda and some of them have even been played. The Men's World Championships, without our participation, were a showcase of excellent performances after a slightly embarrassing start. All the valuable metals are moving to Europe, namely gold to Sweden, silver to Scotland and bronze to Switzerland. The gold rightfully belongs to the northerners, who gave their opponents high fives in the semi-finals and the final and deservedly take first place. For Niklas Edin it is his fifth triumph at the World Championships. The Russians are taking home the potato after an unexpectedly easy part in which every team played against each other (Round Robin) and where they even reached the second place in the standings. At the bottom of the starting field are the Asian countries and apart from the Chinese, who have the 2022 Olympics clear due to it being held in Beijing, the Japanese and Koreans will play Olympic qualifiers. The Canadians and the Americans, in addition to the medal winners, the Russians and the Chinese, have made it into the elite seven for the Winter Olympics. Others, including the Norwegians, face a lottery of nervous competition for the remaining three spots at the Winter Olympics. The World Wheelchair Championships had its overture in the form of a B-ranked championship, which also featured the Czechs. With two wins, they finished seventh out of ten, thanks to a few millimetres better DSC. Next up is the women's world and then the mixed doubles world. Both with Czech participation.
