Turkey will debut in the division A, while Poland... still waiting for a women in the elite. That team won the internal qualifications so there is no doubt they deserved to go there, but a week before the Champs they lost 1:6 (or something like that) to a team with three athletes playing for only one year (though they're lucky to have an opportunity training a few times a week in the only curling hall in the country and the fourth is the most titled Polish curler).

 

Turkey was already there a couple of years ago, when they shocked Sidorova in the opening match.

5-stone end for Sweden.

Anna unleashes the Hammer of Thor, scores 5 in the 9th end!    Russians collapse in tears, slink away.

Wow that was impressive by the swedish girls.  Good luck in the final.

[Grassmarket 3,411]

So close for , extra end!  

[Grassmarket 3,411]

Yes!  

 

Very tight game, but really big performances from all four.  It’s a 50% new team, so really exceeding expectations.

So Switzerland had a rather simple draw for 2, but they somehow ended up promoting a Russian guard for a steal of 1.

Dearie me, this women’s bronze medal match just shows what it’s like to lose in a semi-final. Both teams were excellent all week, now they are playing like schoolkids.

[Grassmarket 3,411]

 Just about stagger over the line for bronze.

[Grassmarket 3,411]

Oh noes,  just snatch Gold after a really hard-fought game.   played really well, but....
