Today, the British curling women's team is in a strong position, in the first set, the British team took the lead in scoring 2 points, and after that, the Japanese team scored 1 point. But the British team as a whole was stronger, and in the sixth set, the British team led 4-2. In the seventh set, the British team scored 4 points at the backhand to lead 8-2, and there was no suspense in the game! In the end, the British team won the gold medal 10-3! As for the Japanese team, they were very frustrated, and they conceded defeat in the early round because the gap was too big.
This is the first gold of the British team at this Winter Olympics.
In the stands, the rest of the British delegation celebrated happily and applauded, and finally, on the last day of the Winter Olympics, Britain broke the embarrassment.
Britain's performance at the Winter Olympics is indeed unsatisfactory! Look at Britain's immediate neighbors, Germany, France, and more. Germany won 11 gold and France won 5 gold, both of which were much better than Britain. In Europe, the UK ranks 2nd in GDP, behind Germany. Now in the Winter Olympics, they only take 1 gold and 1 silver! Britain invested £28 million, or about 240 million yuan, in preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and it is clear that the British team has invested so much money that it has not received expectations.
Of course, The UK finally has a gold medal, and the old powers have avoided the biggest embarrassment!
