Korea defeated Canada :woot: What night...

 

Apparently Korea’s first ever win against Canada at the men’s worlds.

 

Canada scored 4 points in the 8th and stole 2 in the 9th to take a one point lead, but it just wasn’t enough.

Is “The team formally known as the Russian Curling Federation team” acceptable?

I can’t wait for “The National Olympic Committee Formerly Known as the Russian Federation” to enter the stadium during the parade of nations.

I suggested “The Team of the Moscow Patriarchate” months ago.

At this point :NOR:SWE:CAN:RUS:GBR all appear to be cruising towards Olympic qualification. They are two (or 2.5 in the case of Norway) games ahead of the 7th place team, with only 4 (or 5 for Norway) games remaining.

 

:USA:SUI:ITA are battling for the sixth place, but the USA is definitely in the driver’s seat there. They are half a game ahead of Switzerland and a game ahead if Italy and, crucially, they hold the tie-breaker over both teams. The only silver lining for the Swiss is that on paper they have a slightly easier schedule ahead of them. Italy is going to need to hope both teams ahead of them drop a couple games to teams that are towards the bottom of the standings.

 

Edit: I am obviously rooting for Switzerland because their accents when they talk to each other in French are just delightful.
