Every team have their own way of preparation for a match. And yesterday and today the girls from the country of Tre Kronor showed that concentration for a game need not necessarily mean sitting in the hotel room and meditating. Yesterday afternoon they already went for a walk round the city and to do a bit of shopping (supposedly to buy some sweets), and today they decided to visit the University Primary School Tererovo náměstí to see what a typical Czech school looks like.

Floorball is among the traditional sports that appear on the sports channel of Czech TV and this year's U19 Women's World Championship will not be an exception. You can look forward to daily summaries of all games and all interesting moments you should not miss.

The first game of the championship brought the encounter between the teams of NORWAY and LATVIA. During the entire match the Norwegian girls were strongly supported by their fans. They were dressed in national colours and were really enjoying the game. The Latvian players probably missed their fans... They lost their chance for a good result in this game through their own mistakes. The first minutes of the match were controlled by the Latvians but then the Scandinavians dominated the rest of the game and lead it all the way to a successful end. They kept on increasing the goal difference and in the end they could celebrate an easy victory. The score 8:1 speaks for itself.

During the past weekend, three of our four national teams played at the international scene. The only team that didn't play was the U19 women's national team. Another portion of several international games again revealed a bit about the Czech floorball.

The day we are all impatiently waiting for is just round the corner. The long-lasting preparations and never-ending arrangements are coming to their end. Now the organizers can take a deep breath and tomorrow, when the big clock at the Olomouc town hall show quarter part eleven a.m., the long-awaited World Championship will finally start!

After players they are second most important actors on the field. Let us introduce referees of this Championship.

"Do you have any floorball dream or goal you want to meet or fulfil?" This is the last question for the thirty girls with a lion on their jerseys and a lion in their hearts. They all want to succeed; they all want to win. Most of them want to successfully graduate from their high schools, be the key players in their teams, and many of them would like to play in floorball leagues abroad one day. Well, have a look yourselves. This is the last part of our series of introductions of the Czech players. Do you want to know more? Come to support them during their games – and don't worry to ask them after the games. They don't bite :)

Dear malicious sports rivals, we are bringing you brief instructions of how to disturb concentration of the Czech national team players. First of all you would need to break into their dressing room. And let's start with the goalies – you would have to steal their floorball socks. You'd also have to change the tape in their tape recorder with pre-match music for, let's say, the "famous" Czech duo Eva & Vašek, and to collect all different kinds of cake forms from the players' bags, which they keep there to be in good form during the game.

If, during the championship, you meet a group of twenty schoolgirls in the Czech national team sweatshirts with textbooks in their hands, don't be mistaken – you're not at school, you're really at the floorball championship. That's just a big part of the squad studying for their graduation exams.
