Hi out there,
still here at home at my desk, travelling to Wroclaw tomorrow. Live scores tell
a lot, though!
In U20 Women, all pools matches ended tonight. No major surprises, but some
minor ones. USA, CAN and COL are cruising. In pool A, newcomer Slovakia SVK
tonight had a chance to pass by Russia into 3rd place, but lost closely, 10:14.
In pool B, after GER also CZE could beat AUS; Aussies in the lower pools now.
Pool C: SUI beat JPN, but both go up, along with COL, to meet USA NZL and RUS
in the power pool. The hosts, POL, are still waiting for their first win; they
got very close already twice, vs SUI and GBR. They now get a chance in the
lower pool vs FIN, AUS and SLO.
As projected, most excitement happened in pool D with the top3 from EYUC2015
plus the twice in a row U17 champions NED, and Slovenia SLO as newcomer. The
latter had to bow to Euro champion AUT only in universe and today beat vice
champion ITA. NED took the crown in the pool unbeaten, and move to the power
pool with FRA and AUT, to meet CAN, GER and CZE.
The power pools will be played wed and early thur, before play offs start thur
afternoon.
U20 Men
The top4 CAN, USA, GER and ITA won their pools. Germany struggled vs NZL, who
had lost the opening match to POL, and had to fight their way back into
universe, whcih was then won. In pool H, GBR and TPE (Taiwan) could pass by
ISR, to go up. Excitement in pool F: IRL beat the favourite FRA 15:10, but both
go up. IRE now only needs to be TPE to move to quarters.
The 2nd round pools are already under way, first matches played today, rest
tomorrow. CAN vs JAP and COL vs GER are two attractive top level matches in the
Men's division tomorrow, as is USA vs COL in Women's.
Looking at the stats tells us that the match quality has incresed immensely
throughout the first 2 days, as expected. For thursday, friday and sturday,
there are rumors of live stream to happen. Lets hope this isn't just rumors!
Well actually, I'll be on site those days, better than live stream... Hope to
see some of ya out there,
Chris
