The latest points of the World Curling Championships: The Chinese team is tied for first place with the three teams, and it is still difficult to enter the Winter Olympics

On April 1, Beijing time, the Chinese men's curling team ended the one-day doubles match at the World Championships, and after we lost 4-7 in the morning to the European powerhouse Switzerland, we narrowly defeated the German team 11-10 in the morning, and are currently in first place with four wins and one loss, but with the current standings, our prospects for advancing to the Winter Olympics are not too good.

This is not to say that the players are not good enough, because our main opponents in the Winter Olympics, Norway and the Czech Republic, have won and performed very well, we have not opened the gap with them, you must know that the qualification for the Winter Olympics requires two World Championship points, and we do not have any points because we did not participate in the last World Championships, which puts a lot of pressure on us, and Norway and the Czech Republic both scored 4 points and 3 points in the last World Championships, so if the top six in this World Championships are 8 points, We need to beat the podium by 11 points, or even better, to qualify.

So far, the Czechs are fifth with 3 wins and 2 losses, while Norway are tied for first place with us, and they have just beaten a strong Scottish side, which means that not only do we have to play well, but we also have to hope that our opponents can lose more games. Direct talks with the Czech Republic and Norway are not to be missed, with the rest of the rivals Canada, Sweden, Switzerland and Scotland qualifying for the Olympics without surprisingly, while Italy also qualify as hosts, while the United States, Norway, the Czech Republic and China will compete for the final two direct qualifications. From this point of view, it is not easy for the previously concluded women's team to directly lock in the qualification for the Winter Olympics in a World Championships, and I wish the team led by Xu Xiaoming to successfully enter the top four and get better results.
