A lone Czech fan.

Ondřej Nývlt, who is accredited here as an "end ice observer", was the only Czech who watched both afternoon games. First the Germans (Jahr) got their first win. After a balanced game, the German skip reset the last end with a final hit, and that was enough to win against the Czechs. We are still left with a positive balance of 2 wins and one loss. Sometimes it's better to lose at this stage of the tournament, and thus keep the concentration and increase the effort. Anna Kubeskova's team had the toughest opponent - the Chinese (Wang). Only in the second part of the match we played well and forced Wang to make mistakes. But we couldn't make up for the loss from the first half. The promise may be a very good performance in the endgame after the break. The balance of the Czechs is 1 win, 2 losses. The boys have the French today and the Koreans tonight. The girls go to the Italians.rn
