t wasn’t exactly Swiss clockwork, or even the workings of a fine time- Ipiece, but Mirjam Ott and her Davos team from Switzerland have earned a re- prise in the Ford World Women’s Curling Championship final against Sweden. Ott, who has been banging heads with the best at curling’s international level since 1997 when she was 2-7 in her first Worlds appearance, outpointed upstart Korea 9-6 on Saturday night in the cham- pionship semi-final match at the Enmax Centre in Lethbridge. The win moves the Swiss back for a shot at revenge against Sweden, a team that knocked off the squad from the land of the White Cross in the Page One-Two playoff. It will be the first World final for Ott and her veteran team of Carmen Schaefer, Carmen Kueng and Janine Greiner from Alpineland. Korea, meanwhile, tumbled into this morning’s bronze-medal skirmish against Canada, a team the Koreans defeated earlier Saturday. Unlike that game, which featured a dearth of offence, the semi was a wide- open affair with the Swiss striking for two in the first end and Korea answering with three in the second. “In the beginning I wasn’t that nervous,” said Ott, who is playing in her sixth world championship and has two Olympic silver medals to her credit. “I just didn’t perform like I can. But my team kept fighting and I was really happy because they kept us in Swiss skip Mirjam Ott calls line in a 9-6 win over the Koreans in Saturday’s semi-final.

Reaction

Players and fans alike have had a mixed reaction to the system. Broadcasters also enjoy it as it produces one more game than the single elimination format.[3] Considering the format is expanding to more curling events and more sports and games, it is reasonable to say its popularity and acceptance is increasing.
