Day 3 of the EYOF.

A french day with 6 medals, 3 of them golds, won only today :bowdown: , Historic gold for Luxembourg and very very cold weather with extremely low temperatures. this was the 3rd day of the Eyof in Erzurum. This night it´s expected around -36 degrees in Erzurum, this is also the reason why the girls slalom was moved from originally planned a night event to this morning.

all results are in our Results Database

From Slovak view it was so far our best day with 3 top 10 results.

Our Figure skater Silvia Hugec unfortunately droped from 5th place she had after the short program but still finished in a very nice 8th place.

Henrieta Horvátová showed a very pleasant performance in the biathlon pursuit missing only 1 target and with shooting record 0+0+0+1 moved to the final 10th place !

Very nice result of both our short track speed skaters, Sandra Trusová was so close to the A final, but lack of luck send her together with her team mate Ema Zelinská to the B Final, she won it and finished the 1500m event at very solid 7th place, Zelinská is 11th.

11th finished also Simon Fukas in the mens figure skating event, from the others results a nice 14th and 17th place also to mention in mens biathlon pursuit by Lukáš Ottinger and Tomáš Sklenárik.

So this happens in the shorttrack..

The way I read that is that there has been a rather major crash in the last 1-2 laps, right? Well, take a look at the video which shows the 1500m final from around 11:00....and then stops with 3 laps to go!! Seriously, I was like this when the video switched from the moment where everything was about to happen....directly to the ceremony:
