Scotland have had a mixed start to the tournament with a win against Russia 8-2, a defeat to Switzerland by 4-5, and then again to Netherlands by the same score, after losing a sloppy 3 in the last end. They followed this by losing to USA by 8-9, then beating Sweden by 6-5 and Korea by 7-3. Norway were their next victims, the Scots winning by 8-4, but then Scotland lost to Japan by 8-6 to leave them with 4 wins and 4 losses with 4 games still to play.
Scotland play China and Canada later today, needing to climb the table a little further to cement a place in the top 6. Japan lead on 8 wins, and have already qualified for the later stages, with Sweden in 2nd place, also on 8 wins. Switzerland are on 7 wins, with Canada and USA having 6 wins each. Next are Italy in 6th place on 5 wins, so it's still very much game on for Scotland, with Germany and Italy their opponents tomorrow.
The only disappointing performance so far has been Norway's, with their new team taking 6 games to gain their 1st victory. Definitely a steep learning curve for them.
