Day 8 Results
After a yesterday´s "rest day" for our delegation, today our athletes were back on the games,
and we started with a great 5th place of our Luge men´s doubles Vratislav Varga - Metód Majerčák,
they were even attacking the podium, being 4th after the first run.
at the end of the day they finished in a amazing 5th position. repeating and equaling the performance of the pair Vaverčák/Zmij in Lillehammer 4 years ago.
Congrats !
Later in the day started also the campaign for our U16 Women´s Ice Hockey team, and the opening game almost ended by a huge upset.
the Girls after a very brave fight lost to the 1 year old team of Gold medal top contender and reigning YOG champions from Sweden
only after the Penalty Shoot-Out, earning a very nice 1 point to the standing (first ever point Slovakia earned against Sweden any category involded in Women´s Ice Hockey)
This lose also means that If the girls want to advance to the medal round, they will have now to beat Germany on Sunday.
Congrats Girls for todays effort and fighting, impressive and pleasant team spirit !
