CORTINA D'AMPEZZO (AP) --- Canada will play Norway and Switzerland will play
Britain Thursday in the men's curling semifinals at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
On the women's side, Sweden and Switzerland have already qualified for the
semifinals. The other spots are still up for grabs and will be decided by games
on Thursday afternoon.
The men's semifinals are scheduled for 7:05 p.m. The women's semifinals are set
for Friday at 2:05 p.m. All times are local.
Here's a quick breakdown.
Men's Olympic curling semifinals at Cortina The face-off between Canada and Norway will be a repeat of the morning's game, when Norway beat Canada 8-6. Switzerland is undefeated going into the semis. Britain, which has won 5 games and lost 4, managed to sneak into the semifinals after Canada's loss to Norway. That loss dashed the hopes of the U.S. men' s team, which was counting on a Canada win to get them to the semis. Sweden, the defending gold medalists, are out of contention. The men's bronze medal match will be on Friday at 7:05 p.m. The gold medal match will be Saturday at the same time.
Women's Olympic curling semifinals at Cortina Sweden is in the lead in the women's field going into the semifinals. It has won 7 games and lost two, to Korea and Canada. Switzerland, just behind, has played one fewer game than Sweden. It has won six games and lost two, to Japan and Sweden. Behind them, Canada, Korea and the U.S. are tied for third place, each having won five games and lost three. The final two spots in the semifinals are up for grabs. There will be one more round of play at 2:05 p.m. Thursday, before the semifinals. The women's bronze medal game is set for 2:05 p.m. Saturday, and the gold medal game is scheduled for 11:05 a.m. Sunday. ___ AP Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/milan-cortina-2026-winter-olympics
