Vit Zinga; fourth player Czech Republic (after 11-1 win over Netherlands): "We’re very pleased. That’s our first win in the tournament and for three of us this is the first World Championship, so we’re pretty satisfied with that. It will be hard to win more because we have very strong teams in our group like Sweden, Australia and Scotland, but we will try our best."
Wade White; skip, Canada (after 9-1 win over Germany): "That was a good bounce-back, after waiting all night to curl again and think about all the shots from yesterday. All it was yesterday was that I missed my last one last night and you think about the whole game, a quarter-inch here or there, but that was a good bounce-back. I was pretty disappointed yesterday, but you’ve got to get over it."
John Brown; skip, England (after 11-5 win over Belgium): "That’s very good, it’s my first win in the world seniors for about ten years. Halfway through the game we were looking pretty ropey, but we managed to get a good weight in the second half and when we came to that point he was just unable to deal with the pressure. That’s one win on the board so a couple more and we’ll be happy."
Pascal Adam; skip, France (after 9-6 in over Turkey): "It was a difficult game, we lost the first end and then we lost the second end when we had hammer. We pulled ourselves together and then we had the upper hand in the game, but we still weren’t fully concentrated, but we still managed to win. We are a good team, but we need to focus 100% if we are to beat the better teams here. We need to be precise and exact with all of our stones. It’s very beneficial for our team to be here but the most important thing is the camaraderie we experience from the other teams."
Mats Wranaa; skip, Sweden (after 8-3 win over Slovenia): "That was a nice win. I think we’re performing better and better now, so that’s nice. We’re in a really tough group. Australia, Scotland and us, so it’s going to be a really tough and Australia is almost already number one in the group."
