and we lost, as expected, but very nice heroic performance of our kids, to lost only 2-4 to Russia in the semifinal, it was really close, but unfortunately 2 goals during 1 minute in the second period after 2 huge mistakes in our defensive zone cost us a possible huge upset.....

 

now we´ll have to try our best and move our asses to beat tomorrow France in this bronze medal match, if we want to medal in this EYOF..Gonna be a hard task though, The youngs french looks really well prepared and disxiplned, they lost to Belarus only 1-2 in todays semifinal.

 

 

btw the matches of the tournament are played with pucks from

4th EYOF day, It was a extremely cold day, the temperatures was around -28°C, Croatia, Netherlands and Lithuania won their first medals, also Belarus secured at least silver thanks their hockey team. Czech Republic earned their 3rd medal a silver this time 

 

Slovakia still remains in hope of medal, our ice hockey team was close of the finals today battled very hard against the Russian Giants and lost only 2-4. So tomorrow we will face France in the bronze medal game.

Another our todays results is worth to mention quarterfinals of Zuzana Šefčíková in cross country skiing sprint, she was even very close to advance for the semifinals but misse the lucky loser position by 0.19 s. Lucia Michaličková was 31st (1st not qualified for the QF), among mens Dominik Číž 39th and Kristian Klouda 44th both failed in the qualifications.

Also our short track girls failed in the 500m event too early, Sandra Trusová was penalised in the heats and Ema Zelinská eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Bad day also in alpine skiing both our boys wasn´t classified in the slalom, Miroslav Jaroščák DNF 1 and Denis Mažgút DSQ 2.

at least here todays pics from our alpine skiing todays participation

So tomorrow during the last day we will compete in many events, mixed biathlon relay, Cross-country mixed 4x5km relay, both girls in short track 1000m event, our alpine skiing mixed team will start the team event against Denmark, and our ice hockey team will battle for bronze against France.

Good luck and enjoy the last day of the winter EYOF 2017 !
