Ford World Women's Curling Championship 7

This morning the alarm went off at 5.30a.m as the sound of a lonely train horn penetrated the room, it's the best alarm in the world, I just wish I could set it to my time.

But to the game, Gail, Lyndsay, Karen and Anne faced Switzerland this time. The Swiss dropped their opening game to Canada but have been winning ever since, don't forget skip Mirjam Ott has two Olympic silver medals in her trophy cabinet.

Switzerland roared into the lead with a three in end one, the Scots got one in the second and stole in the third but they were being outplayed throughout the game. Another three to Swizterland in end seven effectively ended the game but the Scots played on, running out of stones in the last end, Switzerland won the game 8/4.

In other games China gave Canada the fright of their lives. The game was tied after nine, Canada had last stone, China lay three but the front was open, Jennifer Jones overthrew her last stone China got two for the game 9/7 and are now the only unbeaten team.
