Czech Republic - Sweden 3:7 (1:2, 2:4, 0:1)

Country: | We do have mountains and we do have snow, just not very much of it and it is normally shitty which is why all are winter athletes train abroad...

Country: | The Pennines aren't exactly the Alps and with the temperatures in the UK the snow is probably very wet(slush) and having to train abroad would probably mean you get a later start on the various disciplines it would be hard to catch up on somebody who has access to the resources close at hand on a day to day basis
