Bio
Born in Liptovský Mikuláš, Tomáš played ice-hockey first, but then followed in the footsteps of his sister (national team's player Romana Krišková) and mother, who also played volleyball. He has won both Slovak and Czech national championship twice and played in Argentina and Germany for Friedrichshafen in recent years. In his free time, he enjoys reading, travelling and watching the world news.
The penultimate day of the pool stage in Tallinn will be kicked off with a crucial match between Slovakia and Croatia. While pool leaders France and Germany might feel safe about continuing in the playoffs, four other teams are left to battle out the remaining two spots. Croatia and Slovakia are entering the court today in high spirits, as both teams succeeded in taking emotional 3-2 victories in their last matches, against Estonia and Latvia respectively. Today’s clash is likely to play a vital role in deciding the future of these two teams in the tournament.
