On April 21, Beijing time, the World Women's Curling Youth Championship ushered in the knockout round, but the journey belonging to the Chinese youth women's team has ended, our curling players under the leadership of Li Ziru defeated the Swiss and Swedish women's teams in a row, showing a good competitive state, after suffering a series of defeats in the early days of the game, in the latter leg to get 5 wins and 4 losses, and the Canadian team also won the fourth place, but due to the small disadvantage we did not qualify for the knockout round, but also successfully relegated, next season still has the opportunity to participate in the World Youth Championships. The outstanding performance of the curling players in this Olympic venue is also talked about by the experience of the Wang Rui team who will compete in the Olympic Games here next year, and I look forward to Wang Rui's performance in the Milan Olympic Games.
According to the regulations of the Curling Federation, the top four teams of the 10 teams participating in this World Youth Championship will enter the knockout round after the regular season, the fifth and sixth teams will be successfully relegated, and the last four teams will be relegated. At the end of this World Youth Championship, Norway, Japan, Latvia and Italy were relegated to Group B, while Germany, South Korea, Sweden and Canada entered the semifinals of this World Youth Championship.
In this World Youth Championships, Li Ziru's performance is remarkable, in the early days of the ice rink has not been fully adapted, losing to the Japanese team and the South Korean women's team in a row, the super big mistake in the game made fans lose confidence, but as the game deepened, her state is getting better and better, and she has successively defeated the first German team in the round-robin match, the second Sweden team and the strong Swiss team, showing a good competitive state, I believe that the understanding of this ice rink will also give the Wang Rui team some experience for the Olympic Games in this venue next year. Although they did not enter the semi-finals, the performance of the young players is worth looking forward to, which also shows that our youth training successors have shown a good reserve force, and I hope that the young players will continue to work hard, continue to accumulate experience in future training and competitions, get more good results, and realize the return of the Chinese curling women's team to the top of the world.
