Four weeks and three days from today.
In a month's time, the mission we embarked on many months ago will be complete. The work, time and money we have invested in the sport we love is about to pay off in that aforementioned month. We're a little nervous and a little anxious about it, but aside from those emotions, we know that we can't get fixated on that one, specific goal and see nothing else. Yes, we want to qualify the Czech Republic for the 2018 Olympics, but if it doesn't work out for whatever reason, we'll know that we did everything we could to make it happen and someone else was just better or luckier. The Wetzikon tournament, where we are now, is the last stage of preparation for the 2017 European Championships, and the 2017 European Championships is actually a preparation for qualification for the Olympics. The Wetzikon tournament schedule states that we play one game on Friday and three games on Saturday. The first and the second from the group (there are four groups in total) advance to Sunday's bouts. We'll face the Swiss, the Italians, the Danes and the Scots. A good dress rehearsal!
