.Unlucky start for the Belgian
Squad. The strong Slovakian Team put a lot of pressure during the whole
match. One stolen point in the final 10th end was not sufficient to go to
the Extra End (EE).

The Italian Team played an excellent match. Some
unfortunate errors lead to an early big lead for the team of Joel Retornaz.
We need a big improvement in the next games

Solid controlled game until the 8th end. Estonia was able
to level the score on the 9th end but Belgium managed well to win the game
in the last and final 10th end.

Excellent game from both teams. Belgium had the win in
its own hands but the last rock hit a guard which gave the win away in the
last end.

LE GRUYERE EUROPEAN CURLING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2010, CHAMPERY, SWITZERLAND
4th-11th December 2010
"Curling is a game of skill and traditions. A shot well executed is a delight to see and so,
too, it is a fine thing to observe the time-honored traditions of curling being applied in the true spirit of the game.
Curlers play to win but never to humble their opponents. A true curler would prefer to lose rather than win unfairly.
A good curler never attempts to distract an opponent or otherwise prevent him/her from
playing his/her best.
No curler ever deliberately breaks a rule of the game or any of its traditions. But, if he/she
should do so inadvertently and be aware of it, he/she is the first to divulge the breach.
While the main objective of the game is to determine the relative skills of the players, the
spirit of the game demands good sportsmanship, kindly feeling and honorable conduct. This spirit should influence both
the interpretation and application of the rules of the game and also the conduct of all participants on and off the ice."
