The Scottish Recovery Plan strode into action last night and this morning with wins against Denmark by 7-2 and Netherlands by 9-4. Although the scores look good, they both hinged on one end.
Against Denmark the Scots were drawing 2-2 after 4 ends and managed to score a 4 to end up comfortable winners. Grant Hardie rated 100% in this game while the Scottish team scored an overall 93%.
The same applied to the game against the Dutch, as they again scored 4 shots after leading by 5-4 after 7 ends, prompting a concession. The team percentage in this game was 88%, which will be the minimum required in the later stages to gain a medal.
To put all this in perspective, Scotland only had 81% against Canada with the Canadians on 90%.
Korea is the night game tonight, with China being our opponents on Sunday at 9pm followed by medal favourites Sweden at 4pm on Monday and Germany at 2am on Tuesday - all UK time.
