Curling: China crush Switzerland to claim bronze
|
Feb 26, 2010
Vancouver (AFP) - China won their first Olympic Games curling medal on Friday with a crushing 12-6 victory over Switzerland in the women's bronze medal match.
The world champions delivered China's 10th medal of the Vancouver Olympics, one less so far than their total at Turin in 2006.
"I just waited all week for them to show up and they did today. They did everything we told them to do and more," said China's Canadian coach Dan Rafael.
"That's why I'm emotional. It's been two-and-a-half years, what can I say?
"They can do anything they want. They just aren't consistent and, for whatever reason, they shut it on and off. It drives the coaches mad but with more experience and this kind of event, we'll be okay."
Canada and Sweden meet later Friday in the gold medal match.
