Turns out  is also qualified due to not being last among any potential head to head scenario among five loss teams.

It also appears that  is also qualified.

And is the sixth and final team to qualify.

 

After leading late in the round robin with a 7-1 record Norway loses *five* games in a row.

First quarterfinals: beats 5-3. Worst finish for Canada since the 70s.

 

Also this is ominous:

Three teams with positive tests, four further teams “came in contact”.

 

If all the tests for the remaining teams come back negative the hope is to finish the hope is to finish the event tomorrow over three draws.

Second qf starts now. Semi and medal games will be Held later today. Can be a though day for sui or usa with three games in a row after been isolated for a while. Also WCF Said one player in the playoffs restes positive and again negative after That but Will not get to play more.

 

and they are now wearing face masks.

Gold to Sweden, Silver to Scotland and bronze to Switzerland who really improved after the round robin, almost not qualifying. Not Russia unfortunately lost as many games in playoffs as in round robin overall and finish 4th. I guess that still is their best result ever for a male team?

 

it´s third gold in a row for Sweden and Niklas Edins 5th (Oskar Erikssons fith as well but he was alternate in the first two). That makes them the most world gold medalists ever. 3 straight is also a record!

Just caught up.   Tight game in the final, but unfortunately a single.stone not crossing the hog line in the 9th end led to a 5 stone score for  & a surrender for  .  Good tournament overall for us, with our best play in the knock-out games.
