The final round of the Women's Curling Round Robin tournament at the Winter Olympics ended, and the South Korean team that advanced to the big hit was upset. They lost 4-8 in their last match against Sweden and were eventually upset. You know, the South Korean team women's curling is the silver medalist of the last Winter Olympics, and this time even the top four did not break in, which is indeed a big cold. After the game, South Korea's veteran Kim Eun-jing was also very sad in an interview, almost in tears. In addition, in the final ranking, the South Korean team only ranked 8th, not as high as the Chinese team.
Before this match, the Korean media was generally optimistic about the women's curling promotion. After they calculated the score many times, the probability of South Korean women's curling to advance was 62%. Coupled with the fact that sweden has advanced early, they have the right to win, and they always feel that the opponent will not give it all. But they were wrong, it was the Winter Olympics.
As soon as the match began, the South Korean team was in good shape, they scored two consecutive points to win the opening 2-0, which gave their fans hope of qualifying. However, in the ensuing match, the Swedish team began to exert force, gradually chasing the score to 3-4! In the lead situation, the South Korean team made many mistakes, and finally the Swedish team scored 5 consecutive points, turning the score to 8-4 and directly sending them out.
At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the South Korean women's curling team performed heroically, and under the leadership of Kim Eun-jin, she won a silver medal. In this Winter Olympics, their goal is also very clear, to get medals. However, with their reversal out, the South Korean team also lost a chance to compete for a medal.
It is worth reminding that the South Korean team was killed by the Chinese women's football team curling before, and this game also had a great impact on their qualifying situation. In the final ranking, the Chinese women's curling team ranked seventh and the Korean team ranked eighth. For the South Korean team, the blow was indeed too big. The teams that reached the final four were Switzerland, Sweden, Great Britain and Japan.
Although the Chinese women's football curling team did not advance to the final four, our record against the strong team is still very good. I also hope that our women's curling can get better results in future competitions.
