排名第一的加拿大女子冰壶队未能战胜”更平直”的冰面和状态出色的瑞典队,如今该国备受争议的男子冰壶队将在米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会上成为冰壶项目最后一支冲击奥运金牌的队伍。

在加拿大已经无缘混合团体赛奖牌的情况下,瑞秋·霍曼(Rachel Homan)的队伍于周五的半决赛中被安娜·哈塞尔博(Anna Hasselborg)领衔的瑞典队击败。

“她们现在非常伤心,”加拿大教练希瑟·内多欣(Heather Nedohin)表示。

世界排名第12位的瑞典队将在周日对阵瑞士队争夺金牌。

自1998年冰壶重新进入奥运会项目以来,瑞典队已三次获得女子项目冠军,此次以6-3击败加拿大。

霍曼在本赛季的三次交锋中均战胜过哈塞尔博。

“我今天早上醒来就告诉姑娘们,’我坚信我们今天能赢,’”哈塞尔博抱着一个孩子,另一个孩子在她脚边玩耍时说道。

西尔瓦娜·蒂里尼宗尼(Silvana Tirinzoni)率领的瑞士队以7-4击败美国队,将冲击队史首枚女子奥运金牌。

在奥运会外的冰壶大赛中,瑞士队曾连续四届夺冠,在最近两届世界锦标赛中均获得银牌。

加拿大将于周六对阵美国队争夺铜牌。美国女子队上周首次击败加拿大。

“显然很失望,但我们的任务还没完成,”霍曼说,”明天我们会全力拼搏。”

加拿大队表示,她们在”更平直”的冰面上难以发挥,”这使得一些投掷变得更加困难。”

“但瑞典队打得非常出色,向她们致敬,”霍曼补充道。

美国队副队长科里·蒂埃斯(Cory Thiesse)在团体赛中已与科里·德罗普金(Korey Dropkin)获得银牌,她说对阵加拿大争夺铜牌有些意外。

“她们是世界排名第一的队伍,但奥运会的压力有时难以承受,结果难以预测,”蒂埃斯说,”我们本周的口号是保持比赛胶着,你永远不知道会发生什么。”

在男子比赛中,瑞士队以9-1大胜挪威队获得铜牌。加拿大将于周六对阵英国队争夺金牌。

加拿大男子冰壶队近期因几名队员被指控”双触石”(违反规则)而引发争议,这一事件关注度远超冰面本身。

美国冰壶选手科里·德罗普金(Cory Dropkin)在周三的采访中告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻频道,这一争议”被夸大了”。

“过去几个赛季,确实有很多运动员这样做,但之前并没有受到关注,”德罗普金说,”很多奥运选手都有过双触石的动作。”

Top-ranked Canadian women upset by Sweden in curling semifinals

The top-ranked Canadian women couldn’t overcome “straighter” ice and a sharp Sweden squad, and now the country’s controversial men’s team will have the curling power’s last chance at Olympic gold at the Milan Cortina Games.

With Canada already shut out of the mixed team event medals, Rachel Homan’s team was upset by Anna Hasselborg’s Sweden in the semifinals Friday.

“They’re heartbroken right now,” Canada coach Heather Nedohin said.

Sweden, ranked No. 12, will face Switzerland for gold on Sunday.

Sweden, which has won the women’s competition three times since curling returned to the Olympic program in 1998, beat Canada 6-3.

Homan had beaten Hasselborg in all three of their previous meetings this season.

“I woke up this morning and just told the girls, ‘I really believe we’re winning today,’” Hasselborg said, with one of her children in her arms and another playing at her feet.

Silvana Tirinzoni’s Switzerland beat the United States 7-4 and will be aiming for their first women’s gold at the Olympics.

The Swiss took silver behind Canada at the last two world championships after four straight golds in the biggest curling competition outside of the Olympics.

Canada will play the U.S. for bronze on Saturday. The U.S. women defeated Canada last week for the first time ever last week.

“Obviously disappointed, but our work is not done here,” Homan said. “We’re going to come out fighting tomorrow.”

The Canadians said they struggled with “straighter” ice that “made some shots quite a bit tougher.

“But Sweden played a great game and kudos to them,” Homan said.

U.S. vice skip Cory Thiesse, who already won silver in the team event with Korey Dropkin, said she was a little surprised to be facing Canada for bronze.

“They’re the No. 1 ranked team in the world. But it’s the Olympics and that pressure is hard sometimes and you just never know,” Thiesse said. “Our motto this week has just been to keep games close and you never know what is going to happen out there.”

In the men’s competition, Switzerland routed Norway 9-1 for the bronze medal. Canada faces Britain for gold on Saturday.

The Canadian men were the subject of a controversy that got attention far beyond the ice when several players were accused of double-touching the rock, a rules violation.

In an interview Wednesday, Team USA curler Korey Dropkin — who helped the U.S. last week win silver in mixed doubles curling — told CBS News the controversy was “bigger than it needs to be.”

“Throughout the last few seasons, truly there’s been a lot of athletes that have done this, and it hasn’t really been brought up,” Dropkin said. “There’s plenty of Olympians that have done the double-touch of flick of the granites.”
