Scottish men continue to dominate - now up to 7-0 and certain to qualify for the Semis.  Women are 3-4 - safe from relegation but will need a whole lot of luck to qualify.

Re - the women.

You mean qualify for the semi-finals or qualify for the World Champs?

For the semis will be tough. Worlds will probably be a play-off.

Just to sum up if you haven’t already seen it: Gold for Scotland Men & Bronze for Scotland women in the curling.  Gold for the men has become almost par, but the Women way over-performed - very young team, effectively the first time at this level.  
 

Also, England & Wales Men & England women were in action in the B Division. Wales actually qualified for the play-offs, but lost their first game to Latvia.

Silver for Brad Hall in the 4 man Bob World Cup race in Canada.

 

The bobsleigh and skeleton teams are really on form so far
