Mouat has been dreadful today.

Curling looking a bit worrying now? I thought it was odd how a lot of the commentary seems to be suggesting they're more or less already in the semis; they've already lost 3 and have all the strongest teams to play. Just feels like they're not making the shots and frustratingly opponents aren't giving up much. Staying with Switzerland was good but doesn't do anything for the leaderboard in the end.

I don't think the curlers need to raise their level much but they do need to do it pretty quickly now.

 

I don't know what the qualification rules are in terms of the mixed but doing both all the way to the medal matches seems to be a pretty demanding challenge (I know it worked out fine last time).
