The scythe has fallen on the stone - in curling terms.

The match against Italy didn't go so well for us. We got the lead, but we lost it when we allowed the Italians to score a deuce with no advantage. We got out of some trouble, but in the end we couldn't play a deuce in the tenth end on the extra end and after six wins we have a total of two losses. We're sorry, but we're not down. Tomorrow we will face the Slovaks and I believe they are unlucky because today's loss will give us a kick in a positive sense. Think of us. The men are going to the Swiss at eight in the morning and they need a win.rn
