First seasons points for our men´s team Well done Matej for a nice 18th place, meaning our mens biathlon is on board in this season too, just pity he missed to qualify for the mass start for only some 13 seconds, he had to finish 16th instead of Johannes Kuehn in order to qualify, but well, what can we do, it is still a huge result, without this one miss he would have finished in top 10, so 18th is very good even if we realize that he apparently had a crash in this race but bravely fought until the end to grab those first our males 23 points. The other good news is that all our competitors today reached again the standards for PyeongChang, so all 4 Matej Kazár, Martin Otčenáš, Tomáš Hasilla and Šimon Bartko will very likely be part of our Olympic team, the 5th athlete will be likely Michal Šíma, but everything is still to be confirmed yet

Thanks. well, we hope for the promotion, but honestly, I don´t see how we can beat Japan, they look much better, very well organized, really faster and skilled on the ice then our girls from what I saw so far. The Japaneses womens Hockey program is very well developed and many countries in the world can only envy them

in the forum I meant obviously

Italy was certainly the most represented country, I think they still are, even if some of them are not so regular visitors of the forum nowadays like Lelli or Steveparker the guy I used to share the same birthday I was just pointing how many new french users registered lately in the forum

@Bohemia will be happy as I know her to form a vast multimember jury in the TISC

Looks like France is becoming the most represented Country in the forum

0:1 after 2 periods against the top favorite is certainly not so bad result, even if you are clearly outshooted so far 4-36. but still it´s only 0-1 and everything is still possible. Any eventual point from this match may be a great boost, Each team will have a lot of trouble with Japan, they are clearly in another level than any other team in this division
