I Have A Dream
Scotland Men eventually overcame Switzerland 8-5. They were 4-5 behind after 7 ends, but scored 4 shots in the last 3 ends to secure 1st position at the end of the round-robin with 8 wins, ahead of Germany on 7 wins and Canada and Norway, both on 6 wins. United States did win their final game, but unfortunately for them, so did Canada and Norway. Scotland now play Norway in the Semi-final at 2pm tomorrow, dreaming of a medal chance, with Germany and Canada contesting the other Semi-final.
I Wonder (Departure)
Scotland Women went further downhill today, losing 4-11 against Sweden, after being 6 shots down after 3 ends, but managing an 8-4 victory over bottom team Denmark. However, the Scots had to score 5 shots in the final 2 ends played to get that win. As a result of the week's below par performances, Scotland are now relegated to the B Division for next season. To be fair, that's where they were before the competition started, and I wonder if they're just not quite ready to move up to the big league.
In the Women's Semi-finals, Norway should be playing Sweden, with United States playing Japan, both at 7pm tomorrow. There's no confirmation as yet, because Japan took forever and an extra end to beat Canada in the game just finished.
