The Swedish team is heads above the rest of the competition this week and have reeled off 12 straight wins.
Barring some catastrophic crisis in confidence or an attack by some flu strain they should take the gold medal game handily.

Yesterday's semifinal against Japan was instructive. The Swedish rocks all ended up approximately in the correct spot. Japan on the other hand made micro-mistakes. A little under-thrown here, a little too much sweeping coming into the house there.
It added up to relatively easier shots for the Swedish skip and slightly more difficult shots for Japan.

The Swiss will need all of their rocks to land on the right side of the inch for the chance at an upset. Looking forward to the game.

Wow, a couple of draws have already sailed out the back of the house. That says extreme or unknown difference in path conditions to deal with in the championship final.

Gold Medal Game - This is a beautiful curling match between two high-performing teams. Sweden will still probably win, but the Swiss are making them work for it.

I thought I wouldn't care once Canada was eliminated, but I'm actually more into this tournament now. This Swedish team is eerily reminiscent of Team Homan. Looking back now, it's really impressive that Team Jones was able to beat them last year.

And they're going to an extra end. Tied at 7. And now advantage Swiss with the last rock. Let's see who blinks first.

Followed by a pick. If it wasn't for bad luck, the Swiss, well you know.

One of the best games played by 2 teams in a long time, especially Paetz. Well done.

congrats to switzerland. women have now won 5 world titles in the last 8 years. incredible. 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2019.

seems only fitting that tirinzoni would add her name to the list of champions from switzerland. ott, paetz, feltscher...and now tirinzoni.

they really are in a gold age. been the dominant country in womens curling for the last 8 years .

as for hasselborg...she'll get a world title eventually. you would think so anyway but this loss is gonna sting

final was brilliant. both medal games were actually.

Paetz shot in 9 was a game saver, better be the highlight of the night.

Same old story for years. If you can stay close going into the 9th
or 10th you have a reasonable chance. If down 2 or 3, however, forget it. Anne gonna getcha.

I'll respond while I can!!

I was kind of rooting for Sweden, but a pat on the back to Switzerland. It's amazing what Switzerland has done in the past decade in women's world curling. 5 of the last 8 (or something like that) is not just fluke. Congrats!!

Here's a link to a great article on CBC. Perhaps ML and his troll buddy fresca will read it and get the hint.

Great article, some people shouldn't have access to an keyboard. I almost pity those who feel to throw such vitriolic hatred.

let me start off by saying i agree. the 6 team playoff format is stupid and needs to be done away with

having said that can we not also agree that elimination based on H2H is cruel and unfair. i know japan beat both canada and the US in the round robin but who's to say they could or would again. if cashspiels can make room in their schedules for tiebreakers with a much more compact running time then surely an event as important as the world championship could too.

ther'es nothing to separate canada, US and japan therefor an actual tiebreak should be played



The 6 teams into the playoff has several sound reasons behind why it was implemented and it makes a lot of sense.

If you have to have tiebreaker, that means you need to set aside 3 playoff draws. That creates a significant break in the tournament to schedule especially if none happen.

By expanding the playoff field to 6, you catch pretty much anyone who would have been involved in a tiebreaker with a 4 team field.

Because of this, you can use the head to head and shootout to break ties for these spots. It works with the event format and timing and television and also is better marketing for the involved teams.

The Czech Republic made the playoffs for the first time last season as a result of these changes. This is significantly more valuable as a marketing opportunity back to the developing countries of the sport as the media picked this up back home. This also lead to television interest in the event as well.

The 6-team playoff with no tiebreakers is a compromise but it's one that supports all interests in the event and sport.

Had Carey excelled as she did in the Scotties, nobody would be debating the pros and cons of the six team playoff format now.

how am i not surprised you support this change of format. you stand by every change made to every event because apparently all change the powers that be want to make is good right?.

i bet there isnt one change thats been made that you dont support.

I know it is to much to expect but it would be much more rational if people would focus on the ideas that are expressed rather than on who expresses them.

There is something very wrong with a system that places tv and media concerns over what is best for team and players.
Sounds like Gerry is protecting his employers.
