Looks like :CHN:ITA:DEN will advance to the play-offs.

 

It's not a sure thing, but hopefully Danish team at least won't flop against winless Finland...

 

Italy and China are surely through...

among the leading 3, only Denmark are not mathematically in yet...

Italy and China (both ending the round robin phase with a 5-1 record) will play for the first Olympic spot tonight at 7 p.m. CET...

the losers will have another chance in the last repechage round against Denmark (4-2 their record in the round robin phase) tomorrow (noon CET)...

 

c'mon, girls!!! :fingers:

China's team is playing terrible right now. It really should be 2-2 right now, but because of some huge mistakes by the Chinese teams Italy leads 3-1 (with hammer) after two ends.

 

Edit: Italy's turn to play terribly. They gave away a steal of 3 (!) in the third, and they aren't playing well in the 4th either.

typical from Gaspari...when it really matters, she doesn't understand anything anymore...:facepalm::wall:

and I'm pretty sure that even tomorrow against Denmark they will do something stupid sooner or later, so to lose this giant chance they have to earn the first ever qualification to the Games for Italy (we only participated in Torino 2006 as hosts, if I remember correctly)...

Final score is 11-4 for China. Congrats to :CHN for qualifying for their third Olympics in a row. Also the second Olympics in a row where there where three teams from Asia in the women's tournament, which very much vindicates the decision to expand the world championship field IMO.

Yes, you're right. And it's from 1998 that Italy doesn't qualify a team (Ice hockey or curling) at OG

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
