Swiss curlers at least in the quarterfinals

To avoid the quarter-finals and go straight to the semi-finals, the three-time world champions around Skip Silvana Tirinzoni only need to win one of the remaining three round-robin matches – against Denmark, Scotland and South Korea.

Norway, whose women’s curling went on a 15-year losing streak from 2007, put up a tougher resistance against the Swiss than most previous opponents at this World Cup tournament. However, Briar Schwaller, Carole Howald, Silvana Tirinzoni and Alina Pätz patiently waited to take the last stone advantage to more than one point.

This was finally the case in the 9th end: when the score was 1:1, the Swiss took advantage of a few small mistakes from the Norwegians, led by Marianne Rörvik, and brought the decision with a house of five. (SDA)
