well, I knew Mosaner is (very) good, but Constantini is a true revelation...

 

by the way, I didn't expect them to start 4&0, even if we haven't faced any top team like CAN, GBR or SWE yet...

 

now, the semis don't look so improbable anymore...

Italy may have started with an easy draw, but they are making the most of it. Still lots of curling to go, but they are inching closer to a semi-final spot. Probably only need 2/5 wins and they still have Australia to play

Don't underestimate even having 0:4 they played some really tight games ....

Curling is not among the more predictable sports, but sometimes in these sports there are teams who come to championships and just look invincible from the start. I have seen it time and again in show jumping. Italy definitely has an X factor here (jinxing aside).

Definitely a WTF moment

[Monzanator 4,768]

Jenny Perret with a miss of the tournament. A simple single take out for 2 points and she misses the stone alltogether.

 

Instead of 4-3 it's 5-1
