November 18 is the only rest day at the Women's World Championship. In the morning, a sightseeing trip in Khanty-Mansiysk was organized for everyone interested.
In late afternoon, the chess group came to watch hockey. Kateryna Lagno, one of the two finalists of the World Championship, did the ceremonial first face-off for the Higher Hockey League game between Ugra (Khanty-Mansiysk) and Lada (Tolyatti).
Katerina confessed she was very happy to do it. "I did it for the first time and really liked it. My eldest son plays hockey; I was happy to receive the puck as a gift, and I will give it to him." Kateryna also said that she supports the same team as her son - CSKA Moscow.
The first game of the final match between Kateryna Lagno (Russia) and the defending champion Ju Wenjun (China) will be played on November 19. The reigning world champion will have the white pieces.
