Scotland slipped right out of the top ranked teams today with 2 consecutive defeats against Korea and Canada. In the Korea game, Scotland traded alternate ends but were always behind, losing 5 scores of 2 shots, in a 6-10 defeat with Scotland conceding with 1 end to go. Against Canada, Scotland suffered even more, being beaten 2-8 after only 7 ends. It took the Scots 6 ends to get on the scoreboard and this was immediately followed by Canada scoring 4 shots with a straightforward take-out.
Canada certainly are the team to beat, with 7 wins out of 7 to head the table. Sweden are 2nd with 6 wins out of 7, then a gap to Czech Republic, Russia, Switzerland and USA on 4 wins out of 7. Tied on 3 wins out of 7 are Germany, Korea and Scotland. It looks like there are 7 teams fighting it out for the 2 places available behind Canada and Sweden.
Scotland's games tomorrow are against China and Switzerland. One win is the minimum requirement for Eve Muirhead's team and two wins will be enough to give them a fighting chance on Thursday. Fingers crossed.
