The Swiss curlers with Pablo Lachat-Couchepin, Sven Michel, skip Yannick Schwaller and Benoît Schwarz-van Berkel are still unstoppable at these Winter Games.
They gave Norway no chance with 10:4 and also won their eighth game. This means that they can no longer be displaced from first place in the round robin.
The score was 3:3 after four ends, but then the Swiss turned up the heat. They made a house of two and stole a stone in the sixth end to make it 6:3. After 6:4, the current World Championship and European Championship runners-up made everything clear with a house of four in the eighth end - the Norwegians then gave up. It was the third match in a row that the Swiss had won early.
Schwaller and Co. had already qualified for the semi-finals. In their last game in the round robin, they will face Italy on Thursday at 9.05 am. The hosts have an even record with four wins and four defeats and are still in contention to progress. So far, only Canada and Switzerland have qualified for the semi-finals on Thursday evening.
