Tuesday Morning Draw

The women's team just concluded this morning's draw and, unfortunately, came up just short against the World Champion Chinese team. They played them really tight, but the Chinese were successful in blanking the 9th, thereby keeping hammer for the final end only needing to score one. 
I thought we had a chance after an unsuccessful Chinese stone mid-way through, but on the last stone the Wang Rink prevailed. 

So, the loss elimated Team USA from competition.  The gals have one more game tonight versus Switzerland and I fully expect them to go out like the Champions that they are.

The womens playoff field is now set: Canada, Sweden, China and Switzerland.

The men's 2pm draw will determine whether any tiebreakers will be necessary tomorrow to set that field.
