In this morning's semi-finals, Sweden raced into a 5-1 lead after 3 ends, but had to hold off a spirited Russian fightback to edge through 6-5, scoring with the last stone of the game. Norway made a similar positive start against China, leading 5-2 after 3 ends and they managed to ease through comfortably by 7-3.
The Bronze medal game between Russia and China saw only 1 shot scored in the first four ends - obviously a very tactical game - and China scored another single in the fifth end to lead 2-0. Then scores of 2, first by Russia, then China and Russia again tied the game at 4-4 after eight ends. In the extra end China sneaked the win with a single shot.
In the much more straightforward Gold/Silver medal game, Norway scored a 2 in the first end and were never caught, winning by 5-3.
Final Results
Gold - Norway
Silver - Sweden
Bronze - China
