A real success - the semi-finals for men.

Today it became clear why our curlers could make it to the semi-finals of the European Championships. Minimum mistakes compared to Scotland, good game management in important moments, mental resilience in crisis situations and exceptional stones played in tense situations. Jirka in particular had a difficult task on several occasions, but he always fulfilled it to perfection. Perhaps for the first time, the Czech team was a team with more experience than the opponents in a number of matches. And maybe we had a little bit of luck when we needed it. But all that makes a great team and that's what the foursome of Jiří Snítil, Martin Snítil, Jindřich Kitzberger and Marek Vydra has definitely become. The fight for the medals is just beginning, but congratulations for the result so far are in order. Thank you guys!!! Czech Republic - Scotland, 7 : 5.
