Therelegation round was played as abest-of-three playoff. The Czech Republic sweep hence rendered the last game unnecessary.^[2]

This is the first time any Russian national team has ever been officially relegated since the country began international competition in 1954 as part of the Soviet Union.^[3] (Thesenior Russian women's team finished the2005 World Championships in a relegation position, but an expansion of the2007 tournament to nine teams in 2007 granted them a reprieve.)
