 struggling with the ice conditions early

And just as I said that a very nice shot by  Walker

 

So close to making the triple, but Italy’s rock just sticks around.

 Gushue converts on a difficult draw to the button against two. Game saver.

Vic obviously knows more about curling than I do, but I wouldn’t say Switzerland is struggling just yet. I mean sure, they were probably hoping for a better start than a 1-2 record, but their two losses were to heavyweights United States and Sweden. Maybe if they lose to Netherlands yeah…

Ok never mind… Schwarz just whiffed on a hit for four, and gives up a steal.

Gushue with a rub and roll for the single!

 

 and  tied 4-4 after the 8th end, Italy with the hammer in 9. 
 

Edit: Sorry about the lack of updates  from ends 4-7, I was preparing some food

Anddd that’s a two. Didn’t roll enough.

 Retornaz with a deuce. 

 

 leads  6-4 after the 9th end, Canada with the hammer in 10.

 

Looking like Canada’s streak of 12 consecutive wins against Italy (and their perfect record of 3-0) will come to an end today

Two very nice shots by  Mark Nichols sets up a Gushue draw for a deuce. 
 

We’re going to an extra end tied 6-6! Italy with the hammer.
