    Well that does it for Day 2 in Group B. With 2 points, Sweden is now 2nd place in the group with 5 points, 1 behind Norway. With 1 point, the Czechs now have 3 and are tied for 4th place with Italy.

    Both of these teams now have Monday off. Sweden plays Norway on Tuesday in an early showdown for 1st place in the group, while the Czechs wait until Wednesday, when they face Italy, which interestingly is also important as far as the standings are concerned.

    That's all from Minsk. Good night. (22:21:24)
