The Men continue their great run of form by beating Switzerland 10-5 after 8 ends, with the assistance of 2 counts of 4 shots in the 2nd and 8th ends. They have now guaranteed their Semi-final place with 2 games still to go. Canada and USA have 5 wins each and Switzerland lie 4th with 4 wins. Germany, Norway and Sweden still have a chance to overtake Switzerland for the 4th place and even possibly tie with Canada and USA.
As far as the Women are concerned their goose is well and truly cooked, burnt to a cinder even, after their defeat by Sweden 4-10 this morning after being 3-3 at the halfway point, and then 4-11 tonight against USA (skipped by the delightfully named Madison Bear). Scotland even tried bringing in alternate Sophie Jackson to replace skip Rebecca Morrison, with Rebecca moving down to 3rd, replacing Amy MacDonald. This seemed to help Rebecca, but has certainly done nothing to help Sophie. Sweden and Canada were already qualified by lunchtime and there is a proper logjam behind them on 4 wins, featuring China, Korea, Norway, Switzerland and USA. Theoretically Scotland could get to 4 wins tomorrow, but as Norway play Switzerland and China play USA, the 2 winners of these games will reach 5 wins. Korea can also get to 5 wins if they beat Turkey.
The Men will play China and Sweden tomorrow with the Women playing only for pride against Russia.
