WOMEN
Switzerland won Gold this morning, beating Italy by 6-5 with the last stone from Alina Paetz being a hit and roll off her own stone to nudge the Italian stone away to get the shot.
GOLD - Switzerland
SILVER - Italy
BRONZE - Norway
MEN
The Final was top of my viewing list this afternoon and it didn't let me down as far as tension and skill was concerned. A nip-and-tuck game went all the way to an extra end when Bruce Mouat had a perfect draw shot to win Scotland's third Gold Medal in a row. The last time that happened was in the mid-90s when Hammy McMillan's rink won 3 in a row. Of course one team has won it 4 times in a row and that was Niklas Edin's rink for Sweden. It was a fantastic game for the curling fraternity and surely even non-curlers would appreciate the talent on display. I feel a certain amount of sympathy for Oskar Eriksson, who had a brilliant take-out game.
