The European championships in progress in Helsingborg, Sweden, see the Azzurri led by Joel Retornaz with the possibility of playing something important again, just as the women's national team has every intention of returning to the top category (we must close in first two positions of the group B) after the relegation of the last season, and today will fall on the ice to challenge Poland.
The second day of competition will see the men playing with Sweden, starting at 2pm, after a double debut that saw them take home a fundamental success, in the first against Russia folded for 8-6, and then give up in the evening to the champions in charge of Scotland, after a handicap start and the attempt to recover in the final (7-5 the score).
The men's team, led by Joel Retornaz (at the twelfth participation in a continental event) is back from a good start to the season, culminating in his success at the Grand Prix Inter in Bern: Scotland and above all Sweden, the fight is wide open. "The boys were able to play many tournaments in this first part of the season and they were well behaved, including the last event in Bern - explained on the eve of the races the dt. blue Schmidt - I am in a position to reach the playoffs among the best four, but the competition is tough and there will be a lot of fighting to do. The national women's team has trained well, but has not played tournaments together for almost two months and this aspect of preparation is something we will intervene on in the future, because it will inevitably penalize us ".
