The final draw is completed and the top four rinks are decided. We start at the other end though with Korea falling by another small margin, this time to Germany. The Koreans have been very unlucky throughout the tournament as they played well in most of their matches. Sweden end with only that single loss to China in Draw #7 and end as top dog after easing past the American rink.

Denmark won two of their last three, including this final win over Russia, to make it through as the fourth seed. A loss would have given us an interesting scenario as the Danes had beaten the USA but lost to Switzerland, and the Swiss had lost to the Americans. As it is both the USA and Swiss rinks are done despite Switzerland thrashing Norway.

Sweden and China will meet as a result of the latter's victory over Canada, and those third-placed Canadians will square off against Denmark. The Chinese and Canadians won in the previous matches against their next opponents.
