The top of the table is becoming more and more congested as we get to the halfway stage. More correctly, it's the minor qualification placings that are hard to separate.
Scotland fell back a little today, losing 7-8 to my dark horse, Germany. Bruce Mouat just missed a double take-out to leave the German skip a fairly simple draw shot for victory. Somehow the BBC thinks that this was a surprise defeat, but 3 of the German team are World Junior Silver Medallists.
Today's results see Sweden in 1st place, still unbeaten on 6 wins. They are followed by Canada on 5 wins out of 6 and Germany on 5 wins out of 7. Sharing 4th place on 4 wins out of 6 games played are Italy, Scotland and Switzerland, with United States having 4 wins out of 7. Only New Zealand and Korea can be considered out of it, neither having won a game.
The Scots play Czechia at 08.00 tomorrow and Japan at 18.00 (televised on BBC Sports website and i-Player).
