The Czechs await the winner of Norway and Olympic Athletes of Russia who play later on Wednesday. It was nail-biting end to a seesaw quarter-final that saw plenty of end to end action. After killing off a powerplay the United States drew first blood in the first period when Ryan Donato rifled a shot past a badly screened Francouz. The goal was Donato’s fifth of the tournament eclipsing his father Ted’s four goals from the 1992 Albertville Winter Games. The Czechs answered late in the period when Jan Kolar’s rocket from the point sailed past Zapolski.
