What an absolutely terrible last stone from Japan for Korea to steal a win and bronze medal.

Switzerland scores 2!

6-6, ninth end to start, Sweden with a hammer.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Pätz with a shot!

Interesting strategy from Sweden, could've been 7-6 for them, but they willingly let Swiss score so they can have the hammer. So, 7-6 Switzerland.

Extra end, Swiss with the hammer!

not just interesting. I say stupid strategy and it seems they are losing the title because of that.

They were a bit too overconfident. Not sure why, because Swiss didn't really made big mistakes today at all.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Ghosts! How did that stone went sideways that fast? 

 

Never the less, draw for a win, Switzerland.

 

And they did it! 

 

Didn't give them much chance some hours ago, to be honest. Congrats!

That's the strategy for most teams, keep the hammer for the 10th even if you're down a point. Switzerland got very lucky during these cha,ps, Finland run out of time when they had the win in sights (and Swiss would be 0-3) and then some horrible tactics from both China & Korea.
