There's been no change to the fortunes of the England Men as they were soundly beaten 1-10 by Sweden and are now out of the reckoning. Their last game is against Switzerland at 12 midnight.
Ireland Men also continue their run (on the winning side) against Wales Men by 6-4 and have probably done enough to qualify - all other things being equal. They now play Norway also at midnight. The Welsh team have missed the boat to qualification and their last game is against United States at 4am tomorrow.
Scotland Men also continued their consistent inconsistency by beating Australia by 8-2 to end the day on 3 wins and 3 losses to still have a miniscule chance of progressing. Slovenia are tomorrow's opponents at midnight and the Scots must win and rely on six of Norway, Australia, Germany, Latvia, New Zealand, Japan and Czech Republic to lose. Not much to ask, is it?
The England Women lost their chance to progress after losing 9-12 to previously winless Lithuania in a fluctuating game. Then they were well beaten by United States 1-9 to end the day with 2 wins and 4 losses. Leaders Canada now await them in tomorrow's game at 8am.
Ireland Women beat Latvia by 6-2 after 7 ends to confirm their qualification.
Scotland Women had already qualified and are now joined by Canada, Ireland, Japan, Sweden and Switzerland after today's games. They play Finland tomorrow at 8am.
