The Lithuanian men’s triples team secured first place in Group D by winning all four of their scheduled matches. This successful performance allows the team a revised schedule, as the Lithuanians will bypass the eighth-final stage and advance directly to the quarterfinal round for the medal matches. Potential opponents for the team in the quarterfinal could include New Zealand, the USA, or Latvia.
Arūnas Pukelis, a member of the Lithuanian team, expressed satisfaction with the group stage results. He noted the distinct nature of competition, stating, “We are really happy. Let’s call everything by its name – the matches and training are very different.
It’s always nice to win.”
Regarding the upcoming competition, Pukelis advised a cautious approach. He stated, “We’ll see what comes out of the eighth-final – we’ll wait and see. We’ll recover on a free day before the quarterfinal, hopefully everything will be fine.” The team’s immediate focus will be on recovery ahead of the quarterfinal matches, following their strong showing in the group stages.
The achievement marks a positive step for the entire Lithuanian contingent.
