With Russia in a good position for the semi-finals.

Janatová, Hájková, Svatoňová, Baudyšová and Vinsová achieved their fifth victory at the World Junior Championships in Sochi. After a very balanced game, our women managed to win the ninth end with the advantage of the Russians. In the final end the Russians (Portunova) had little time, about 4, 18 for the whole end, and this probably, among other things, caused that their stones were less accurate than ours. After Portunova's final draw, which was practically unplayable anyway, we scored three and are currently classified in third place. We'll try to knock off the Danes this afternoon.
