 Team Yannick Schwaller (Photo: World Curling) bounce back to claim the bronze medal. By: Cameron Sallaj The class of the field all week in Cortina, Switzerland's Team Yannick Schwaller defeat Norway 9-1 in the bronze medal game to earn a spot on the Olympic podium. It was a clinical performance in the third-place game for the Swiss team consisting of Schwaller, Benoit Schwarz-van Berkel, Sven Michel and Pablo Lachat-Couchepin, scoring three in the second end and never relinquishing control. After scoring two in the eighth end to lead 6-1, the team added a steal of three in nine when Ramsfjell's final spin-o-rama needed a tick from the sweepers to make contact. The bronze medal for the Swiss side comes after a disappointing semifinal loss to Great Britain in which Team Schwaller had control until a highlight reel shot by Mouat in the seventh end to kill any momentum. Through the round robin, Switzerland posted an undefeated 9-0 record, defeating every team in the field by a minimum of two points except for Great Britain who they beat in an extra end. Despite the semifinal loss, the team ends the week at 10-1 and as Olympic bronze medalists. |
