Here how it look. The National Championship in 2009 took place in a frozen pond and yet she still became one of the top stars of the Vancouver Olympics one year later

Czech Republic has no speed skating oval. Same for Slovakia, but we obviously do not participate, the Czechs in opposite do and quite well assuming they have no indoor facilities for this sport. Sábliková used to train abroad or on a frozen athletic oval. For example this athletics oval is annually used for the Czech National speed skating championship (people sprinkled it with water before the races).

Not expecting any close game tonight, let´s say the truth, This will be a huge surprise if this match will not finish by a slaughter. I hate this losers mentality, but it´s a fact, our goal here is (unfortunately just like it was for the many previous editions) only about one single match, this time the last group game, the new years eve match against Denmark. so all preparations and tournament strategies are focused on that game, the first three matches are just for formalities. From the different declarations and ambitions of our team staff and Reading between the lines, it´s quite clear that no one is expecting anything from tonight´s game
