Czech WOC team
I can't read Czech, but as I poked around a Czech O' page, I came across what I think is the Czech WOC team:
Vendula Klechova Eva Jurenikova Zdenka Stara
Tomas Dlabaja Michal Horacek Michal Jedlicka
I guess it is possible that they'll add another runner or two. Here is the same list with the runners' clubs:
Vendula Klechova (Tesla Brno/Halden SK) Eva Jurenikova (SKOB Ostrava/Domnarvets GoIF) Zdenka Stara (Tesla Brno/Almby IK)
Tomas Dlabaja (Zabovresky Brno/Soders OL Tyreso) Michal Horacek (TU Liberec/Hagaby GoIF) Michal Jedlicka (Slavia Hradec Kralove/Tampereen Pyrinto)
While I wasn't surprised, I thought it was interesting that each runner on the Czech WOC team has a Scandinavian club. Four of the six run for Swedish clubs, one for a Norwegian club and one for a Finnish club).
The Czech selection races took place in some intersting terrain. Check out the men's long distance course.
I was glad to see that Jurenikova made the team. She has a web page (in English!) about her training and racing. It is always fun to see a runner with a web page make the team. I'm looking forward to reading about her experiences in Japan.
