England's 3rd defeat, this time at the hands of Denmark by 4-8, ended their hopes of qualification. They were already down 2-6 after 3 ends and were never going to be able to overturn that deficit.

Scotland had already qualified and played their Quarter-final tie at 5pm tonight beating Hungary by 9-2 after 6 ends. A big score, but it took a score of 5 shots in the 6th end to make all the difference. They now play Latvia at 8am tomorrow, with China and Korea being the other Semi-finalists.

The winners will play for the Gold Medal and the losers will play for the Bronze Medal at 2pm. The 3 Medallists will gain promotion to the main event in Cortina, Italy, starting on 12 April 2025.
