CAN 10-1 SCO 8-3 CHN 7-4 NOR 7-4 FRA 6-5 AUS 5-6 USA 5-6 GER 5-6 DEN 4-7 SWE 4-7 SUI 3-8 CZE 2-9
China beat Australia this morning, and then went ahead and beat Norway this afternoon, and Sweden beat France but France beat the Czech Republic, so if Australia had beat Norway this evening there'd have been a three-way tie for fourth place. And the game went to an extra end, and the tiebreaker would have been almost immediately, and it would have been AUS-NOR again because France had the bye in the circular tie by virtue of their superior shootout score.
As you may have guessed from the conditional tenses, however, Norway won the game. In fact Australia lost it, when the front end panicked and overswept the final stone in the 11th end by about an inch and a half to give Norway the steal. Rough times, but that's how it goes in the big leagues, boys.
NOR-CHN tomorrow at 2pm; CAN-SCO at 7pm. Winner of NOR-CHN gets loser of CAN-SCO in the semifinal. Loser of NOR-CHN gets loser of semifinal in the bronze match. Winner of CAN-SCO gets winner of semifinal in the gold match. Outside of Canada going to the final, I have no further predictions.
Done working, as well, so I can now officially take sides. LET'S GO, SCOTLAND, LET'S GO! (And: Heia, Norge!)
