And we are looking for the GB to beat ROC and China to beat Switzerland for the men’s session that’s later today?

Yes, if those two matches go that way then Canada will qualify to the semis.

Canada qualifies for the final of the Men's Team Sprint in cross country.

Canada qualify for men’s team sprint finals and look surprisingly strong

China does us a favour and comes through in the 10th end to beat Swiss!

And now GB has done the same.  Canada has qualified for the playoffs.

Yes gushue onto the semis now !

[orangeman 2,007]

Canada will finish 3rd because they hold the tie breaker with the US.  The question is, who will they play.  Both SWE and GB are 7-1 and GB has the tie breaker.  SWE plays ROC and GB plays CAN tomorrow.  Interestingly, CAN could play GB in the morning and then again in the evening in the semis tomorrow.

Interestingly, the guys who make up the ski sprint team, Cyr and Ritchie, were born within 5 days of each other (Sep 18 and Sep 23 1998).
