The coach says his team will be monitored by health officials.
The Czech Republic team at the 2021 World Women’s Curling Championship will become the first squad to compete three times in one day and they’re not happy about it.
“We’ve been harmed by the decision of the World Curling Federation team in the history of world curling championships having to play three games in one day,” the team posted on social media. “As most of you know from experience, this means almost no rest, no food, no warming up or stretching. This threatens our health and definitely creates unfair conditions for us.”
