The match with Korea and next to the Swiss against the British.

There were several coaches for the men's final round robin matches. The least favorable for us was the Swiss win over the British and our loss to Korea. At LSD, we gained an advantage, but still the first two ends were the spoils of the Koreans, 0 : 2. By that point the good Koreans started to mess up a bit and we started to level the match. After eight ends we even led by a stone and then went into the tenth end one down with the advantage. Despite a few chances, we couldn't establish a position for deuce, and after a one-drop we went into the extra end without an advantage. By the middle of the end, we were playing without guards and the situation at the end was not good for us - one Korean stone in the rings. In the end Kim and Kim pulled it off to win the round robin, which gave them first place. The Swiss beat the Brit and avoided a tie break. That left Black Peter to us and Canada. We play each other for the semis today at 2:00 p.m. Canada has the advantage because we chose the stones. Let's hope that brings some luck.
