And Then There Were Four
Scotland's Men lost 5-7 against Sweden in their first game, but that was enough to guarantee them a last four place with Sweden edging out Norway for the last place. Canada and Switzerland tied for first place and Scotland and Sweden tied for third spot. In the second game, Scotland beat Estonia 8-1 to finish the round robin section in third place with 6 wins and play Sweden, also on 6 wins, tomorrow in the 3 v 4 Play-off. The other Play-off is Canada (8 wins) v Switzerland (7 wins).
As a reminder to you all, the winner of Canada v Switzerland advances to the Gold Medal game, with the loser playing against the winner of Scotland v Sweden to decide the other Gold Medal contender. The loser of this game will play the loser of the Scotland v Sweden game in the Bronze Medal game. It's all quite simple really!
Get 'Em Out By Friday
With one game to go in the Women's championship tomorrow, Canada have already qualified for the 1 v 2 Play-off game, having won all of their 8 games so far. Then there is a fair old log-jam, with Korea, Scotland, Switzerland and Sweden on 5 wins, then Russia and USA on 4 wins. All six teams have a chance of grabbing the last 3 places, so three of them will have gone by tomorrow night.
Scores - Scotland 6 Korea 7 and Estonia 7 England 5.
Tomorrow's games are ones to savour with Scotland playing England, Estonia v Russia, Canada v Korea, Czech Republic v Sweden and USA v Switzerland. Theoretically there could be 6 teams on 5 wins, giving the organisers a huge headache arranging the tie-breaker games.
