		Two days of Women's World Championship here in Pardubice are behind us, the contestants don't have any time to rest as they play five games in five days. The only two teams which didn't win so far are going to play each other right now. Great Britain is also waiting for its first goal of the tournament, on the other side they conceded 21. But they played very tough games against the Czech Republic and Canada. Italy has got one point already thanks to great effort in the starting game against USA. They were very close to get the win! Even loss after shootout has a big value for the Italians. Yesterday they couldn't compete against the Czechs and lost 7-0.
		Welcome. Game starts at 14:00.
