Olympics Icy Beijing. About the performance of hockey players against Switzerland with Patrik Eliáš

Friday’s program of the games in Beijing offered a busy program from the Czech point of view, so there were no weak points in the Ice Beijing scenario. Alpine skier Kateřina Pauláthová took part in the brave fight of Ester Ledecká, who finished fifth in the super-giant slalom, only 13 hundredths from the bronze medal.

Then it was the turn of three men and three bronze Olympic medalists in Ice Beijing. The already mentioned Patrik Eliáš analyzed a balanced hockey performance of the Czech Republic against Switzerland. Pavel Benc, the third from the Czechoslovak relay race in Calgary in 1998, focused on the performances of Finn Niskanen, who won his third Olympic gold on Friday. And Petr Barna, for a change bronze in Albertville, evaluated figure skating competitions.

Of course, there were also words of admiration for the women’s hockey team, which fought valiantly in the quarterfinals against the favored Americans. Former national team coach Petr Novák added his observations to their performance.

The women’s eye certainly appreciated the guest from the field of culture, who, however, is close to the sport. Actor Vladimír Polívka was a Czech representative in snowboarding as a junior, but in addition to this sport, moderator Radek Šilhan discussed with him whether he had sports genes from his father Bolek Polívka or his mother Chantal Poullain.
