hello susan, not sure if you (or others out there) know this, but the title of the tournament in czech “snezenky a machri” is a also a title (and a reference made to) of an old czech comedy movie about a ski-trip.
just thought it was a nice bit of trivia. 🙂 since everybody here in the czech republic immediately knows this, perhaps others may want to know too.
