The Czech Republic have proven to be one of the surprise teams in Napoli having shrugged off successive losses on days one and two of the tournament to turn things around and secure an unlikely quarter-final spot. While their fairytale run towards next years World U17 Championships and even a medal has now ended, FIBA Europe caught up with star guard Tereza Vyoralova for 24 seconds. |

More HeadlinesTurkey will fight it out with Italy tomorrow for a place at next years U17 World Championships after winning their respective semi-finals for the 5 to 8 spots against Greece and Czech Republic. In the first game of the day, Turkey stepped onto court looking to pick themselves off the floor after their gut wrenching quadruple overtime loss against France the night before. |

Reigning champions Spain posted the biggest win of the tournament as they pulverised Czech Republic 87-33 to move into the semi-finals and set up a mouth watering clash with either Italy or Russia. Outclassed and perhaps a little out of their depth after their surprise run to the last eight of the competition, Czech Republic capitulated in the face of a Spanish onslaught and one that left Coach Hernandez understandably delighted. |
