The United States’ women’s curling team is on track to qualify for the semifinals while the men’s side, the reigning Olympic champion, has some work to do if it wants to advance out of the round robin stage. Both sides will be in action Tuesday.
First, the men will take on Switzerland at 8:05 p.m. ET Monday. This is a pivotal match for these teams, which are each 3-3 and currently part of a three-way tie for fourth-place. And as a reminder, only the top four teams will advance to the semifinals. After that match, the USA will face Italy (1-5) at 7:05 a.m. ET Tuesday.
The USA women (4-2) are tied with Sweden and Japan in second place. Those teams are one game behind Switzerland, which is the next opponent on the United States’ schedule. First rock will be thrown at 1:05 a.m. ET Tuesday. The Swiss are coming off their first loss in this tournament, a 6-5 defeat to Sweden. The Americans most recently defeated Korea on Sunday night, 8-6.
