The Canadians have Olympic gold. Who has the men's bronze?
Canada - Sweden, Women. Fight for Olympic gold. Kaytlin Lawes is not doing so well. There's even a measurement in the match that will go to the Canadians. In the end, Maria Prytz's stone, which may have run into some flat spot, is the decider and Jones scores for two without advantage. M. Siegfridsson confirms in the press conference that this was probably the key moment of the final. It's an easy finish. Jones hits a loose stone on the rings and the hands go up. The press conference is emotional, tears are shed, legends are born. After Schmirler, it's Jones' team that puts Canada back in its rightful place. The golden one. The men's bronze medal game is a little weird. Half-annoyed Swedes and smiling Chinese. A real paradox. The match escalates when the better positioned Liu breaks the hog line rule. The Swedes force China to a one in the ninth, but in the tenth the Chinese catch Edin again for a one, and a measured one at that. In the extra end the red light on the stone again, this time Xu and end (after a failed chip by China) has no solution for Liu. Two stones to lose is too much. The Swedes take bronze and are happy, hopefully the frustration is forgotten. I feel a bit sorry for China, but if the Swedes lose, hopefully they will be done with curling, and that would be a shame.
