Men's Curling WCF World Championship 2024 Road to Milano Cortina 2026

[orangeman 2,292]

Germany makes it to the playoffs with a steal in the 10th, knocking out Switzerland!

 

All playoff teams are set, just positioning now. 

 

Canada wins or Scotland loses tonight, Canada secures a semi spot. Neither of their opponents are playing for anything (SUI and SWE, respectfully).

Draw 19 Results

 6 - 7

 9 - 3

 7 - 4

 3 - 6

 

 are the final three teams to secure a spot into the playoffs. 

 

Heading into the final draw, a  win or a loss would have Canada place second in pool (and a direct ticket to the semifinals), while a  win and a  loss would have Scotland place second in pool.

Niklas Edin will rest against Scotland. Oskar Eriksson is the skipper for Sweden in this game.

Hmm.  I can see why, but I don’t think it is exactly fair play for the other teams.

I totally agree even I also understand why.

 Gushue with a short runback for 4!

 2  1 after 3

[Josh 11,551]

 7 - 0 over  after 4 ends. 

 

Barring complete disaster it looks like they’ll place second in pool and get a bye straight to the semifinals.

 Getting the kind of advantage you’d expect over  without their killer skip - 4-2 after 5.
