Scotland's Women are just about hanging on to a qualification place, following a convincing win against Finland by 10-5, which keeps them in 4th equal along with Russia on 3 wins and 3 defeats. Switzerland lead with 6 wins, Germany are 2nd with 5 wins and Sweden are 3rd with 4 wins.
The Scottish Men continued their fine form with wins against Netherlands by 8-5, scoring in 3 consecutive ends near the finish and running the Dutch out of stones in the last end, and then sneaking past Italy 7-6 after an extra end. Sweden lead the rankings with 7 wins from 7 games and Scotland sit in 2nd with 6 wins, both teams guaranteed qualification. Italy are 3rd with 5 wins with Germany, Norway and Switzerland having 4 wins and all have a great chance of qualifying.

On Thursday, the Women's final game is against Switzerland, meaning they still have to play 3 of the top 4 teams. The Men play Finland in their final game for a more comfortable finish.
The English Women had an excellent 7-5 victory over Norway after leading all the way, keeping them in 3rd place behind Norway and Turkey with 3 games still to play. England's Mens' team had a dominant 10-4 win against Slovenia to stay at the top of their Group with 2 games to go.
