The Czech Republic returned from the Victoria (Canada) Olympic Qualifying Tournament with a huge win over Greece and the ticket to Tokyo in their suitcase.

Alas, a group featuring France and the USA was too tough to handle. As a result, the pack led by Satoransky and Vesely was brought down by superior opponents, since the French and the Americans outscored them by as many as 55 points combined.

However, coach Ronen Ginzburg appeared anything but bitter in his post-game quotes following the heavy defeat to Team USA.

"In the end, we finished the summer by surprising everybody - including ourselves - that we are in the Olympic Games after what we did in Canada. To finish 9th or 10th in the Olympics is a big achievement for the Czech Republic and I hope we can have success in the future also," the Czech Republic bench boss told the media.
