U.S. women's curling misses first chance to clinch semifinals with loss to Great Britain
The U.S. team lost 8-7 after a key shot by Great Britain’s skip Rebecca Morrison, leaving them needing a win or favorable results to reach the semifinals.
- On Wednesday, the United States women's curling team lost 8-7 to Great Britain in Cortina d'Ampezza, missing a chance to advance to the Olympic medal round for the first time.
- Great Britain needed a win and Rebecca Morrison banked her final stone off a wide blocking stone, ejecting a U.S. stone to score while Tabitha Peterson's last throw hit a blocking stone and went wide.
- In the eighth, the Americans stole one to go up 7-4 after earlier end swings, with Peterson stealing a point to tie 2-2 in the fourth and producing a three-point seventh end.
- Now 5-3, Team Peterson will meet second-place Switzerland on Thursday at 7:05 a.m., and a win or a Great Britain loss to Italy would clinch a semifinal berth.
- Tabitha Peterson conceded and praised the opponent, saying 'They made a great shot', while tournament standings including Canada and Great Britain show all remaining matches are set for 7:05 a.m.
