After an 8-4 victory over The British, the Chinese women's curling team celebrated their third win at the Winter Olympics and reserved for themselves the possibility of advancing to the final four. If in the next game, the Chinese team defeats the Canadian team in the final round and meets the following conditions, the Chinese girl can die and miraculously advance to the semi-finals.
Let's take a look at the current form:
1. The Swiss team has advanced in advance, and the Chinese team cannot surpass;
2, the Swedish team has won 5, the Chinese team can not surpass;
3, the Japanese team and the United States team will also face each other, at least one team won 5 wins, the Chinese team can not surpass the winning team;
4. The Danish and Russian teams have been unable to surpass the Chinese team.
Therefore, we divide the two situations of "the United States defeating Japan" and "Japan defeating the United States" to analyze the promotion situation of the Chinese team.
First, if the United States defeats the Japanese team, the Chinese team must meet the following conditions for promotion:
1. The Japanese team lost to the United States and Switzerland in the remaining 2 games;
2. The British team lost to the Russian-Austrian team in the remaining 1 match;
3. In the remaining 2 games, the Canadian team must lose to the Chinese team and the Danish team consecutively;
4. The Korean team cannot beat Denmark and Sweden in the remaining 2 matches.
Meeting the above conditions, the results of the five teams of China, Japan, Britain, Canada and South Korea are all 4 wins and 5 losses, and the only qualifying place can only be determined by comparing the relationship between wins and losses. Because the Chinese team is 3 wins and 1 loss in the small circle composed of these 5 teams, and the other teams have at least 2 losses, the Chinese team is promoted.
2. If the Japanese team defeats the United States team, the Chinese team must meet the following conditions for promotion:
1. The United States lost to Japan in the remaining 1 game;
3. In the remaining 2 games, Canada lost consecutive games to China and Denmark;
To meet the above conditions, the results of the five teams of China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and South Korea are all 4 wins and 5 losses, and the Chinese team is still 3 wins and 1 loss in the small cycle composed of these 5 teams, and the other teams have at least 2 losses, and the Chinese team has advanced.
In any case, the Chinese team must first defeat Canada in the final round before it can compete with other teams, otherwise everything is just talk. Bless the Chinese women's curling team!
