That was an awesome final  

 

And he was 'lucky' (after being unlucky) to even be in the final! His pole broke in the semi with 50 meters or so to go and he fell from 2nd to 3rd, but his time was enough by 0.18 seconds to qualify anyway

Day 4 Summary

 

2nd medal 2nd bronze.

 

 

Jakub Borguľa with 2 misses in the 2nd shooting finished in 3rd place and won the Bronze in the Boys Biathlon Individual. Among Girls Kristína Makovínyová with clean shooting ended in very nice 5th place.

 

5th Place is also the final standing of our girls Hockey team, after the loses to Nordic giants FIN and SWE in the preliminary group the girls ended the tournament with a win in the 5th place game 3-0 over Hungary.

 

Worth to mention also the new Free Program PB of Michaela Alexandra Filcová in the Girls Figure Skating which catapulted her from 11th after the Short Progra to the final 6th place.

 

 

The other results were not so memorable though, 9th place in the Alpine Skiing Mixed Parallel Team, 12th Marko Pilliar in Boys Figure Skating (lost 3 places from the Short program) Martin Józsa sadly will not repeat his final appearance from the Big Air, this time finished 17th in the Snowboarding Slopestyle qualification and no one advanced from the Cross-Country Sprint qualifications.

Final Day  Summary

 

10th place of Tamara Tokárová in Girls 1000m Short Track was the highlight In the final day of the competitions from Slovak view, 13th place in the mixed Biathlon relay and 16th in the Cross-Country Skiing Mixed relay, both our alpine skiers were eliminated in the parallel in the last of 16 round

 

So Team Slovakia will leave Vuokatti with 2 nice Bronze medals

 

(Tamara Tokárová - Short Track Girls 500m & Jakub Borguľa - Biathlon Boys Individual)

 

EYOF is obviously not entirely about medals, for many our youngs it was the very first experience with a international multi sport event and the majority of them did very well, considering the poor situation of Slovak sport overall in comparison to the rest of the continent.

 Deltrap also takes the 500m gold!

Wow  Zoë Deltrap absolutely dominated the shorttrack tournament! Three individual golds AND the mixed relay gold!

 

Other than Deltraps 4 gold medal haul, we took 2 bronze medals in boys shorttrack and girls snowboard big air.

 

Overall a great result for the Dutch team if you ask me!
