At the World Curling Championships in Ottawa, the Swiss around Skip Yannick Schwaller secured his participation in the quarter-finals with two more victories.
Pablo Lachat, Sven Michel, Yannick Schwaller and Benoît Schwarz from CC Geneva won against outsiders New Zealand 7:5 and against the USA, the 2018 Olympic champion, 12:9. They also went directly to the semi-finals. For this one of the remaining round robin games against Japan, defending champion Sweden will probably have to decide in their favor. For the Swiss crew, the round robin ends on Friday evening, Swiss time.
Showed up late against USA
The New Zealanders around Skip Anton Hood had surprisingly defeated the German team in the previous round. In the game against Switzerland, they trailed from the 3rd end, but managed to keep the result fairly open until the 9th end, in which they managed a three-way house.
In the game against the Americans led by John Shuster, the Swiss took the lead late for the first time, namely with a two-man home to lead 8:6 in the 8th end. The USA team hit back with a three-pointer in the 9th end before the Geneva team was able to score a four-pointer. (SDA)
