It would be a shock for me if Sweden did not make the playoffs, even though there are a lot of unknown/new possibly good teams, for me the title contenders are them, Canada and Scotland. Even though the Swiss won the gold last year it's not the same team, so I'm not sold on them yet. This new Chinese team is also interesting, guess the Fed got fed up with Bingyu not winning. Other playoff contenders are Japan, Russia of course and Denmark. My teams who will not make it are the US (should have sent Brown instead), Finland, Germany and Norway.
bingyu retired, it wasnt someone getting tired of her losing
sweden missing playoffs would be a huge shock but if ghey cant get a win within the first 4 games they will.
if they start 0-4 they would have to run the table and that will be hard with denmark, scotland, switzerland and china still to go

What, she retired at 30 years old, seems odd, maybe that's just what the Fed says, certainly didn't seem the type to retire.
Agree about Sweden.

Agree about Sweden.
Maybe Bingyu got tired of Bingyu losing so many times after her world championship, or maybe she heard the biological clock ticking.

Yeah, I guess, they maybe could have tried to move the yellow, but it could have made things worse.

With all the rocks behind it, it wasn't gonna go anywhere.
So they decided not to waste any time looking at it.

Wow, Canada could have really put Scotland right out of it there, but they let them back in instead.

It may have gone somewhere with enough weight, there was a bit of space to move.

I'm pretty sure when the other team is throwing run back doubles it's a good thing

Unless she's said she never plans to compete again, I wouldn't count her out. Just look at Ayumi Ogasawara who is just 16 years older than Bingyu and "retired" once, had a child, and roared back into the game.
Watching those two ladies break new ground for their countries' women and curling success, too, has been fun to watch from Bingyu having so many "firsts" to Ayumi having the honor of carrying her country's flag in Sochi.

After watching the first 5 ends of this game i might need to take back the comment of team Jones recovering...They are lucky the Swedes are playing so poorly.
