[Music] foreign [Music] and welcome to you all from North Bay in Canada and the Ford World women's curling Championship 2018. North Bay started Life as a railway town but has now become a major recreational destination Great Outdoor opportunities here especially on the expansive Lake if you've seen one of the biggest stretches of water in the province we're indoors though for top quality curdling and it's medals day at the forward World Women's Championship 2018 first up we have the bronze metal game mats between Russia and the United States both beaten in the semi-finals and now determined to go home with that world of bronze I'm Alison Walker and with me for Life commentary on the rule game sander rollback great atmosphere inside the arena packed out 4 000 capacity here as we watch the Players March into the arena to the Applause of that crowd Ed States [Music] [Music] let's start these off and please

Czech Republic in the United States all qualified and this was a process to get to these final stages Canada seeing off the US and Sweden eating Russia Russia in the US will pay off for this bronze medal now Canada Sweden sander [Music] semi-finals both these teams really do want to go home with a bronze medal for sure yeah it's always tough to lose a semi-final but uh at least you get to play the next day it's tougher to end up playing in the same day so they've had some time to think about it and sleep on it I'm sure they're all popped up to to grab that medal this morning both teams played pretty well in those semi-finals as well I don't think they'll be too disappointed in their performances especially the USA oh and also a Canada Sweden were queer favorites coming into the field and the there are the two teams of the overall clear best friend Robin record that for them to go through to the final seems to make sense in many ways but it's a great debut for both Sinclair and Moise it's the first time in the world championship and we're in the bronze game it's a pretty good debut for anything great achievement of course Russia under honestly the Rover last year on Silver and Minnesota is the alternate in this team is also won bronze three times so I'm sure she's been able to [Music] be some of those feelings what it might be like doing medals some of the feelings ahead of the games I've not experienced as important in the team well uh we say about pizza Rover to get here but uh and I said robust been looking very supportive and smiley and cheery more than when she's competing on the ice herself really so it's been a great addition to the team I think recovery has died down last minute cheers from the crowd always very respectful push up redstones USC yellow it's Michael Walker gets us underway in this bronze medal game lead player Concord Massachusetts originally that lives in simple a couple of years wait in the World women's Sapporo in Japan in 2015 USA finished 10th Julio Kazakhstan originally that's a telegraph now in Russia special to the Olympic team pyeongchang for Russia nine times seven yeah finish forced in the world juniors in 2007. 94 you see Eva European championships in Glasgow in 2016. this is Vicky Persinger 25 year old calling most of her life in Fairbanks okay Angelina arson cleanup for Russia around 10 years he's a figure skater I'm supposed to give it up with a leg injury and she turned to curling is playing for this Victoria Mercier team she's also All-Star second through the round robin playing 90 on average actually tied with the Agnes knocking her the only player that oh she's ahead of knocking her in the standings but uh or tied but the rest of the positions are all talked by Swedish players All-Star and uh scoring wise [Music] just trading hits here at the top of that 12-foot area uh-huh down this line so yeah quiet start Alex Carson also 29. started curling really early virtually as a toddler ones in the world juniors in 2010 [Applause] foreign [Music] on this side I benefit USA to have an open fire stand it was anything but against uh Canada yesterday in the semi-final they're in all kinds of trouble early on ended up giving up a score of three guys one of the coaches Derek Brown seeing we just got caught 14 fought the way back right to the last end s in this bronze medal game minimum brightness [Music] could just time out as well all to come later [Applause] [Music] for the 2014 Olympic Games so we move on to this Stones now and this first end 26 year old he was born in Anchorage in Alaska in Saint Paul Minnesota thank you thank you that's pretty much where I played dead today you shouldn't lives in some Petersburg sorry [Music] that one is just nibbling on the outside edge guys [Applause] okay cleaning the hair because it's pretty fresh out here yeah we'll keep it fresh though yeah area in front cleaning the shoes everything is done exactly the same way for each player from the merch launch pad for curling yep oh yep everyone yeah unlike yesterday [Music] [Applause] Philly Speedy first end either blanks it nil nil after one [Music] full Focus of the crowd and everyone else on this sheet B with the hammer retain the hammer after that blank first end important game for both Sanders so suppose just getting a feel for the ice in that first end as well as everything else just settling in quite important just calming your nerves and just making a few shots a lot of people in to watch the game there's only one sheet and play if all eyes are on you especially as a thrower and I feel like people are just looking at you and of course uh quite a few people watching on the telly from home as well so just getting comfortable the ice looked pretty quick from the very start the very first throw in the game eight and they were able to sweep that into the forefoot run pretty nicely it's a little cold this morning just because uh yeah number of people coming in building tends to heat up a little bit and that can also heat up the ice surface so you might even see the ice run a bit quicker later on in the game yep like a walker plug did a really good game against Canada yesterday 99 pretty much just made everything the Canadian lead and that's gotta finish what you see needs today too just uh for her to set the ends up nicely for USA pretty good there just wanted to curl a bit more it shows the wrong side of that short Stone [Music] we come after it and try and tap it back just a freeze for now [Applause] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] questions you represented Russia the Olympic Winter Games they finished ninth yeah not quite the week they were hoping for weeks to come back nicely good week [Music] from USA here singer she also a very good game yesterday and throwing 89 uh along with Walker I played the Canadian front end the back end of Alex Carson couldn't quite cope yeah even though you say that come back in the end made it interesting it's been a bit of a star for this Russia team this week using the card me up yeah okay the splitting Center is nice yeah can I still even get a hair loss yep really you can two and a half is Good Guys three mine's good he's good easy yeah really tight nope before no no no we're almost we were staying awake that's good what do you have this coach for USA it's got beard yeah okay in 2006 it's got beard [Music] bang bang good double there [Applause] Sergey balanov coach for Team Russia doesn't give too much away sir guy I don't hate that we gotta be on that side I hate that that like that the hit I just don't want to be Corner Frozen because then it's a nose hit July three right yeah I don't mind the hit and roll control I think it'll move it a little bit yeah I think you'll need a touch okay they hate to open up the center for Russia to get to your shotstone but can't lead too many uh Russian Stones around the house either Sinclair didn't want to play the freeze there was a good chance you could have left a double Russia to set three so much with a chance to come after two stones try and remove the Seattle without leaving a double back for uh USA foreign [Applause] doubles you're always designed it's flashing everything was the initial call makes the double instead why not very good plan B there so much Carlson she allows herself a little smile there spray tight to that yellow actually to make it come on sorry a little hot [Music] [Applause] just like that oh yeah foreign yes sure just control okay okay try to get a little roll in noses right should be decently straight here yeah Alex is okay yeah I've never seen magic dust into the hand again from Jamie Sinclair the first of the skip stones here [Music] it says nosing okay nine eight in the store fifty [Applause] are you here as possible that another Red Guard above the fourth sign not far enough foreign [Music] [Music] we clean clean yep clean so watch where it goes after this the other one in position I would have to ask the question [Music] is actually in um look at ways to get rid of both could be uh fantastic but this situation is gonna watch that red Corner guard uh just a little bit one here thank you American counters begin to see it coming around now how much is on it though how much is on it how far is it going to go it's heavy it is heavy and it's a steal of one yeah or the USA there's a bit of a turnaround there so after two ends now let's make Russia zero United States [Music] happiness [Music] out there foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] not today [Music] [Applause] here we go [Music] [Applause] Russia now United States won into the third then now this bronze medal game crowd being treated to a little bit of between ends entertainment but all is Harsh now for the action one sheet B three four guys giving up that steal means getting point or points without the hammer heavy with that drawer should have backed up that draw sander in her mind use that in the future Just A Little Fall there exactly it's fine with me do I whoa thieves [Music] five five I'm good take a look four I'm good [Music] around five Alex starting to die full heart can you bring this one around as much as they can that stone didn't uh curl enough for her in the second and either the coincidental but uh that's when you might start thinking thunderstorm is attached straighter than the first one let's see if that happens again later on [Music] thank you [Applause] they would have had their pick of stones and they've played with pretty much all of them matched and so on even for a final sometimes you'll see teams just pick up on something that they that they didn't see before [Applause] wow [Music] 10-4 in each video [Applause] [Music] [Applause] start to the end for Russia setting up to score two here lots of separation is gonna have to make a good roll at some point here could get it already with this one from Persinger pretty alone this handle is there no no no no turn the rule over to the center and even further washing it as much as she can that's kind of situation where you're it's almost better to roll shorter than farther because yeah you're all that far that deep makes it easier for us to make sure you don't get ahead and roll back roll behind cover gets or USC so nice little [Applause] roll out to the wing you can see it now if you say please they hadn't rolled back very tough to get short stolen even if it is it's gonna be a lot of room for Russia to come around and maybe top it out Alex Carson I'll go with this [Music] same line was it really slight walk to the left my brother considering playing the freeze on the hill let's do that right you say couldn't play the head and roll back we just jam and stick around again [Music] it moves out even further some really good shots by Russia here we're expected to make a nose head but just to make it over and over again it's always a little bit tough keep two in the house for the entire end we don't see that very often eight six just over thrown them and even further or worse than nibbling on the outside there it's a 12 foot it's probably gonna Force Russia to complete the draw be a little bit easier to find the draw way too for unfortunata foreign hello perfect there actually yeah this is always frustrating USA yeah if you know what you can do it okay sure you could play the draw around the guards but then you're interested giving up a three a bench two coaches sitting side by side [Applause] yep close yep yeah oh yeah hi hi let's go go go go go all right nine rules out the weight was good sorry he's shaking your head good shades very impressive sitting here inside Memorial Gardens Sports Arena clean it up [Music] it's pretty good there in the highest so you may think well the head and Rule is now there for you to save but because of that Yellowstone they can't just jump I might just see you say peel this one out you want it to be a little more cheeky you could play that run back try and stick it in the in underneath cover you make it you would get shot Stone it's not very long and of course if you ever make a slight mistake that is three so not wanting to take that risk here be happy to just see this Redstone go no Queen yeah you're gonna clean nicely done eight executed and from Russia's point of view so far [Applause] the second end heavy so let's see what she does with her weight here and number three two points pretty routine [Music] [Applause] United States one after three [Music] [Music] um [Applause] [Applause] staring Squad use both sides [Applause] here thank you very much [Applause] he has a number so far on the scoreboard two one shot third end Edge into the lead in this bronze medal game foreign for the whole tournament extremely consistent player for the USA guard I think yesterday I think Canada I made a point of uh where to throw the corner real good right on this on the out turn which means Russia will peel it with uh synchronous and she as well as Bill officer yesterday spent 99 on our turn deals he's playing 88 on the intern so again if you why would you not do the intern then well if you haven't looked at the numbers small differences that can make a difference these small details that potentially thought is there anything but uh probably throwing a corner through the spot with a more uh Monica Walker actually plays better on Earth interns anyway so far through the competition it's an interesting detail more that way I'm not sure I think it's pretty uniform curling pretty much see him everywhere been a long week for these players all those round dropping games extra round robin games this year and qualification playoff and then a semi-final Fitness stamina levels concentration levels all the way through [Music] just catching it that was a plan for USA to get that shot still but taking the center guard over it's another Corner that rolls onto the Rings it's actually real good well I think it's just out it's still still not bad yeah you said to just open up that Center Line Chase quite play up to a regular numbers on the semi-finals to eat it Charlie Charlie to have one of her best games for the competition yeah 39 for the whole tournament how she progresses here and get some stats for just this game which really is all that matters now playing well yeah like the firm weight run yeah helping your team love it get those points quite often it's just about making the right shots too an 80 game can be uh better than a 90 game it's just made the right shots at the right time yeah [Applause] these are just starts talking to get both here yeah just approaching that yellow to stick around huh second time in a row or not yeah diver nibbles the Rings there's a chance Russia won't they are to guard again come after the yellow and if they guard Ed extension of the arm there from Arson Keynote [Music] every time pretty good [Music] this one over curling [Applause] yeah I think a little more yeah that was minimal like I think that's pretty good it'll it'll be good you can't wrap it ten eight oh yeah right up oh you're almost a little down no no no no no it sits down sorry fine so those yellows on the outskirts of the house foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] 10 times this time to call is actually to rub off the center guard rolling whoa whoa whoa whoa just avoiding Jam does it spin onto the Rings this time yeah I think so finally that was close foreign again and it does only just [Music] okay definitely a lot of communication from the skip just explaining all the scenarios all different calls and the end one thing to to make this hit and roll in [Applause] rule ideas for USA tolerance is a little too thick yeah oh nicely done um one Duke and Battery yeah with the hammer in the sand we are the most control for the tournament whoa you should die yeah towards the center yeah I'm strolling right in between the two Corner guards so uh rolling across undercover for you see as uh as tough as possible so I think control right there yep okay is that normal broom you think drama it's control okay uh rolling the keys no uh your way my way got it yeah behind your own okay who's behind you just control guys okay oh yep yep whoa yeah yeah yeah yeah no no no no no oh is it going to Disappear Completely out of the Rings it is yeah you like to make the rules that is not an option yeah the chance to draw around one of these two guards and get the floor it's lost it's like a touch much ice to me I'm interested she was grimacing a little bit Victoria it's looking pretty good used to sit anywhere in the hand cover this man is heavy and all the way through oh I don't just to wait the problem really nice swing there it's definitely curling both ways mistakes from both skips there I think so yeah anything in terms of the ends and what Jimmy Sinclair has to do here well now she gets to just throw this one through and blank the end keep fast on advantage that was always the option for USA if they didn't get there too I have to just take that away or something one but uh certainly the better option for Jamie Sinclair there still 2-1 which in the hammer get a chance to make amends and number five [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] in there is [Music] ready [Applause] [Music] [Applause] foreign [Applause] of course I would quite like to force USA to score one here tie the game don't have last on Advantage then coming back on to the ice for the 6-10 [Music] I was supposed to see uh far as it'll go bring a t t GT Gotta Go Gotta Go I saw you throw in the corner in there for a second but uh keep going keep going makes more sense for them to come to the wing here they would quite like to Blind the end retain the last one Advantage themselves when you're getting to the halfway point that's when you start to look at the scoreboard the wee bit it's looking at the old and even ends [Music] fresh on your second blank here [Applause] bring the hammer into six well there's uh three evidence to two audience yeah four team scores with a hammer you say scoring scoring one time more than Russia and that is the main thought of controlling that scoreboard also keeping the last one advantage for the 10th end most teams like to have that last Rock and the final end just to have the last see in the game be trading uh shorts here quite a bit Russia at some point need to make a roll and behind that Santa guard if they want to make sure there's no blank here we've always got to be aware and your opponent might just slip up might just make a mistake and be ready to take advantage [Applause] okay okay [Applause] [Music] I got 10 too there is a pup so Russia will never have a chance to use that Center guard come around foreign [Music] Spenders and hers practicing those shots is that how she gets to that level everyone is I hope I hope they are is it like practicing your pots do you need people around you always go first so I wouldn't know but um but you can practice putts on your own is what I'm saying it's slightly different than curling as well and important to do both you'll see quite a lot of players will go to The Carling clubs by the by themselves and just throw little one throw and throw over and over again but quite important to have a coach or a teammate to maybe Monitor and make sure technically you're done doing the things you're supposed to be doing then you have the variables with the ice as well no two sheets are the same so it's uh mostly down into this Gap just trying to read the ice how much is going to carry on certain spots put in the room now for the teammates and for the front end that will be uh trying to have a good eye on the different tracks where the ice is running quicker where it's running a bit slower just having that information to give back to especially the back end mostly Museum or Sinclair the skips because they're up on the other end they don't really follow the stones up and down so they'll have less of a of a feel for it but they could also have a stopwatch on the other end and get some split times get a sense of uh what the speed uh the ice is doing and the different spots wow the S has been so consistent throughout the event well big surprise but still a couple of feet of wheat here and there a few inches of curl yeah different sports that's uh I can make a difference in a game like this yeah I'm talking top level here all these players very talented they know what to do they know what they want to achieve tiny margins sometimes you know just a little bit of luck can change things that's a inch less ons no oh anything I can wait sorry I get fully buried that probably doesn't us or if not telling our shot to make that roll underneath cover age um cheers to be fit whoa sweep sweep whoa come on I think so yeah I get a different line five yeah okay yep ten five yep yep yep ten six okay is it going to hang around I don't think so this might even make the same mistake again saw this to the previous end as well I was in the same place too throwing her draw through the writing spot very aware of that this time to adjust her weight and amoeba here you have to be perfect just needs to be in there yeah pretty buried somewhere a new Force USA and of course you make a really good one though you could steal there's the hook line there that black light still to be released [Applause] [Music] it's really nice [Applause] quite appreciating the effort placement of that stone there see how that nice finish [Applause] over here pretty perfect spot that has made life quite difficult for Team USA here fifth end thanks guys easy running this is the first draw for James eclair of the game [Music] it's a little bit tougher yeah takeouts for four ends she's good though she she's good here really nicely done almost perfect draw from the American skip secure her point it's tutu because the teams head into the break chance to reassess review and look ahead and get a bite to it energy levels back up part two of this bronze medal game [Music] [Music] our waves are really similar but mine are running really straight ears [Music] our robot taking a look at the highlights from uh the first five ends of the bronze medal game between Russia and USA at a blank first end but for more action in the second Victoria moiser skip of uh Russia with a draw for one spacing two U.S counters but just coming up all the heavy Carlson able to sweep that far enough for a steal of one at the third however getting the chance to draw this time to score two [Music] yes it's time to draw his spot on two points for Russia they take the lead two to one after three ends of play another blank in four takes us to the fifth end Jamie Sinclair rolling out on her first stone leaving moisera to draw around the center guard Sinclair with her first draw of the game you think could be a bit of a guess but just one perfect draw right onto the button for uh Sinclair and USA to tie the game at two each and half time [Applause] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] first five actually not too much between them no it's been quite a high scoring game but then again it's been very open not too many stones on play easy shots for the most part but uh and just as tight so we're happy just the one stolen point at the start [Music] format and how they got there and we'll boil down to the bronze medal game unless you're playing the US and Canada and Sweden winning through those semi-finals to contest the gold medal game a little bit later on [Music] [Music] we're all set then for the second half of this bronze medal game between Russia and the USA it's the first for both these teams in this position going for a bronze medal good ad on it not a first for their countries but it is for these two teams without an achievement for them both to get to this stage sadly one of them will finish fourth that's always just sounded such a horrible position to finish in after such a good week yeah I've been there okay but like I mentioned I like didn't start the game either way these teams should be uh pretty happy with their performance it's uh their debut after all 100 for this game performed perfectly 100 ticks I'm doing God just on the fourth sign good position s we're curling we're four almost a four it is a four it really digs higher the better I think yeah okay still out yep it's not quite in stopping time a couple centimeters away at the top of the 12 foot can't be removed again for a second Stone doesn't Carol as much unless she's yeah swap the order like it's just uh slight inconsistency in the throws from Monica Walkers to not get to get these online foreign [Applause] okay [Music] whoa 95 for arson peanuts so every player yeah yes I know it's good you got it that's more easy I'm targeting this rushing right here Crossing towards the center line behind cover that was good let's go yeah yeah so you want to hit these bombs from uh accuracy is more important two and a half three it's nice here yeah I thought those went nicely like 15 20. 98 lights girls and she's really up to him in this middle she's had a tough game against Canada yesterday so it's nice to see her come back from that and play solid through uh first five ends here but he just looks soft yeah they're a half game to go uh [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah [Applause] let's get both this time [Applause] yeah six is good I think it'll be nice here like it was the middle yeah so Russia with the hammer in this end after Force in the previous one sorry sorry this one is looking long and heavy it's gonna hang about I guess in for a second shot most importantly just out count the Redstone there top 12. [Music] foreign [Applause] that's a lovely shot absolutely lovely what they wanted to try and bring the play over towards Aiello to maybe uh be able to move that Yellowstone bring that red and the top two elephant to play of course keeping it behind the tea line though chance for uh Sinclair to come down sounds good right to it Plan B is fully varied behind today's company and a plan B here either freeze the red or over curl it has come fully buried behind the guard 23 for the game and Jamie Sinclair Play One Drop I was perfect [Music] through the button [Music] just don't come deep down the spot I wonder if it's quick get right to it Sinclair's found the wheat perfect here yeah this looks very very nice really good touch thank you foreign might squeeze the Redstone sandwich between nails but to the right and I'm trying to sit on top of the yellow just to remove the Barking might free up the yellow shots don't be removed later but uh also lead the shooter in shot position that's a plan about the execution which one pretty good well the yellow's gone [Applause] just uh stricter angle maybe rolled that back red a bit further out to the wing because as it's lined up now that yellow is just lined up right back onto that uh Redstone and the twelfth and a half but of course the shooter ends up in a nice spot pretty much the same shot to be pretty perfect I lost challenge in the sand for USA to me the difference this t-line I think it's gonna curl I'm close mine's good it's all there stay Vicky all there hey Vicky yep yep yeah they need to keep the line here can't over curl the red it needs to have shots stolen here that is perfect and they are shot Stone only just thank God takes away the two for Russia I'm not sure it is possible to score more than one night near there please great placement great position for USA [Music] uh at the end it will just be the draw for one so two really good freezes by Jamie Sinclair yeah back to the spot where um played the draw on the second end initially took the same eyes as that shot but as taken less I wonder if keeping the backing mind at all heavy nothing to stop on and now this one actually pulling up what happened there it was weird that really did pull up in that last stretch didn't it it's a steal who would have thought the way that end was panning out my goodness not expecting that at all I don't know USC were neither here we go it's a steal for the USA Russia too you're gonna say three after six [Music] [Applause] [Music] let's [Music] let's go here we go folks [Music] perfectly fine [Music] thank you so much [Music] [Music] USC in the lead in this game now after that steal and end number six V2 I'm going to play for the bronze medal the forward women's curling Championship 2018 for both teams missing out in the semi-finals and now against each other for the bronze I'm Alison Walker and alongside me Sandra Rover I keep bringing you live commentary on the whole of this game and then a little bit later they've commentary on the gold medal game between Canada the Olympic gold medalist Sweden good Meadows deep here at the Memorial Gardens Sports Arena knew this one would be close it is the way it is developing boy that's one it's going to roll into the Rings ten seven yep I mean easy yeah all right Team USA can I move this oh opposing towards the center line oh super shot again from Monica huge mistake by Julia goziova to you just slip into the rings of that corner guard Unforgivable [Music] especially at this stage of the game let's make the bubble on the next one though that's good being in the seventh end a blank isn't the end of the world for Russia even though they are one down carry the hammer make it a three end game get uh the last advantage two times to USA is one actually an option you might see some teams play for eign I have to say it's been already cautious game for both teams either taking much risk fairly low scoring as well single two Russia in the third end I'm not at stage I don't think they will okay well there's never been more than a one point lead in the game it's maybe one of the reasons it's been quite tight sometimes as soon as a team's down two or three and they're having to take a lot more risks and you end up get getting down more stones in play sometimes but so far the teams are just seeming quite content with keeping the game tight times that's a bit typical for a medal game it'll be interesting to see how Canada Sweden plays out this afternoon though could be fireworks could be similar to this team [Music] yes control whoa easy clean whoa whoa you're good okay red do the same for Russia [Applause] foreign please whoa ten oh there okay there's a touch more waiting no curl three hit some rules out this time one of those misses that uh decrease your numbers your stats but in the end not so important for the game does make a huge difference only Lance Jamie Sinclair practice or drool eat a little bit so far she's been spot on three times in a row this is the same spot where she Drew for one and the fifth end it's never a bad thing to get a chance to do this and again it's all there quieter still got some room to work yeah here it goes mine's pretty nice 14-4 could be there did you see that right I'm gonna end up having to do that yep in the Final End close to it so you say it's only beaten Russia once the last five games foreign [Music] record for USA they would say it's about time never played each other in the playoffs guys well you know you might see them uh play again at this stage in the future two very promising theme teams quite young teams as well Queen Queen no Queen no we're good yes sorry probably a good concert one right receiver and this point again it was already and another one stays the same two you see three after seven to brush your retain the hammer all right this is foreign [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign medal game between Russia and USA coverage from the forward World women's curling Championship 2018 North Bay here's the logo City in Ontario that's the province in Canada to all the action here in this 2018 championship watching to battle it out for this very precious bronze medal close all the way through lead for the USA Russia so not building something here if they can that would be a great end to to score a couple here for Russia take a little bit of risk here really both playing very well indeed either slightly ahead in terms of total percentage but one two mine's going you're reviewing their performances they haven't done too much wrong in this fight this bronze medal hi guys good yeah pretty perfect setup the leads will be more and more important in the last few ends just taking advantage of the three guard Zone oh yes yes oh my God I'm coming around nicely too okay the side of the center line what can we peel thick this way I think this is easier okay half a rock oh a bit less okay normal did she says you say he's uh finished fourth four times at the world women's curling championships I've actually never picked up the bronze though so that'll be new for them five Silvers one gold they've grown from the crowd sails all the way through they keep hurting up well that's surprising now we talked about where to throw the corners maybe looking at uh your opponent's numbers for for those peels but versinger is actually thrown she's the one you would have least expected she's very consistent on clearance she's uh 98 on interns and 96 on the out turns for a clearing on an average of 97 throughout the week so far to miss one of those peels is actually uh quite rare the game [Music] got American Guard these two corners as well for Russia setting up nicely for uh it's really nice here two and a half yeah chance to try and do something better with our second Stone around here I'm guarding up probably the best option here gotta get close to Center pretty good let it die let it stop let it stop nothing nothing nothing nothing okay the rest of it's on there so back on that center line for USA foreign at the moment guards in place as well one in the Rings again [Applause] when you can come on can't really see corner it that's good yep okay okay [Music] I need like a one it's got even better in the game foreign is gone foreign [Music] impression [Applause] actually yeah split on the Reds here [Music] nicely that's all it is to get two Reds into the Rings but also make it a little bit easier to get to that yellow shot Stone kind of double guarded with that red top 12. plenty of either I have three quarters of that one and a sliver you won't be shot yeah do you ever like just guarding I think this is our opportunity here we could guard I mean I have like a sliver of this one yeah not much I mean but if I do this it's not it's not terrible playing it with like solid hack if any why can we just do this they're just gonna blast they're gonna run this I think if we guard we goes to stop sitting Center up here okay I mean she's got runs for days yeah yeah so I don't hate a timeout what do you think team my tendency is that yeah I just wish you could see a bit more of it I've got maybe like a broom handles with it should finish pretty hard but everybody's like solid hack mine yeah guards tolerance yep okay I think it'll move good here I do too move well it's not the best option sander I got it okay just uh find the grammar correction a bit amusing you like that Sinclair said good Carlson said I don't know it's going to move well thinking it's going to curl up quite a bit in the spot now the only a sliver Carlson said of the stone so how big is this liver oh an inch Maybe so I'm doing this with half weight that will they'll still get some finish past the guard get to this red I really want to remove it from the house [Music] the first bit of the heart worm the job was done there nice yes probably a lot optimistic not too much of that stone good shot here [Music] [Music] I'm not gonna make it goes into the Rings both of them stay there just not the worst outcome if that shooter is out counting the yellow promoted onto the Rings it's okay remember this one are you I also think it's yellow oh that's very difficult to tell especially being so far apart but now I don't really love coming I'm just not impact on their shot you can do the same thing coming the other way you like that side better yeah right we can be right to it and then if they draw we still have a room absolutely say that's pretty tight I like that maybe I think tell them to speak for tea what something to speak for tea and we can finish it I just don't want to sweep and Bounce by it again yeah so we're going for tea and Frozen is taller all right right on it to you guys does that look like a ton of ice too no I actually think it's tight okay okay and then it should be close speed here um yeah a little less than what you threw in your last one right on T tolerances to the back one pretty much splitting the house here uh Sinclair trying to set two maybe three if um Carlson is correct one no yeah redstone on our left yeah yeah [Music] not to it no backing upset can be heavy and use it to stop and use it to pull up it's not going to be still in there but um side past and the Russian redstone oh my God I'm pretty sure the uh on the right that's why they needed that one just to pull up in time so yeah my apologies definitely wanted to draw a light too so please foreign [Music] [Applause] just roll it a foot okay You Gotta Stay full 12. okay eyes on Jamie Sinclair at the arena seven hair down Queen no please no Queen the number anyway yep ten two sticks pretty sure that's gonna be an open effort too huh it's not the top yellow in the 12th until we start back one right there potentially counting for Russia last one of end number eight in this bronze medal game sleep ready one and two are they going to measure for a third [Applause] one is definitely good it definitely counts it was the decision a couple for Russia who takes them back into the lead scheme yes we'll have to build what they can with the hammer and end number nine thank you foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] medal game the forward World women's curling Championship 2018 in North Bay audience beginning to feel it too ninth and I need to score here need a couple here even three maybe if I'm a decent lead they don't have the hammer and then number 10 free let's start for medals too silver medals and all five and all six Cassandra Johnson and Debian McCormick both losing out to Annette uh nobody from Sweden a lot to them contesting for bronze the first time also this Russian team the world bronze medal game over Russia have pretty well the last few years the alternate three consecutive years 2014. yeah it looks like they were thrown off Foreign it's a little disappointing so clearly that was indeed the call it was uh more about trying to score two here it's always tough to blank a ninth and your opponent really was just to force you to score one to tie the game so I wish I could have the hammer yeah more or less leads the guards or you say to use it easy what's up ladies after a little bit of debate foreign [Music] to get what they want just gonna make sure the worst case scenario is giving up to okay scenario for them is pretty much committed by now be very surprised if we don't see a score how about the twos for Russia twos and zeros and ones and zeros five four five steals I haven't managed to score two points when they've had this the hammer five [Music] that's it is [Music] tough call here for we're saying probably the player to be throwing these though but it's a very thin slash on the Red Corner guard to get that yellow behind the center those two things hopefully opens up the back one oh my goodness very good shot that is beautifully done perfect execution from probably the player of the game actually so I'm thinking it caps is a bit thicker actually keep that Redstone partially in behind cover oh you just want too much sander don't you that's uh still pretty good there well you see with a chance of set to here we've seen this situation earlier in the game so it's going to be about 12 rules person who makes this one he's gonna try and make the head roll and behind cover nothing leave it leave it okay ten five [Music] okay hit and roll off the top bill it's a little harder to get shot storm button you could [Music] make it very hard for you to say to split the Rings that's a pretty good rule [Applause] I don't mind tap and roll like hack yeah easy hack yep because it runs way better than anything thanks here Alex Carlson easy ninth end [Music] God [Music] it's a good weight Alex [Music] [Applause] gets a little rule in towards the center line as well nice shot two really good roles by unfortunately because there's a little ad once you have I think yeah I'm good they're close mine's good seven mine's good A little deep well then a little deep no well then it's trying to come down pick on its own still room nope nope nope make room for two of them guys no no no no above tea yep pretty good foreign made the trip North from the US but you'd rather be in Russia's position they know they've got the hammer they lost her in that tenth end Ed up close down the scoring area a little bit uh yes USA that's very good there no it's not just the right beside it's the top red as well nothing is freezing there but actually getting that top allows Russia to maybe to snap that Redstone up even further on the next one if they get the chance that would really take away I'm not sure what it gets us scoring area for USA to get in and score two with the last draw I can do this if I'm in front here's terrible that I'm just not sure what it's hard to get there but I think it makes her tap a really hard turn to hear she still has this I can guard that side then she does this and then hopefully I have a wife I can peel you peel she still does that and then she's sitting one two three if you do this it makes her pocket bigger I think I think block this leave her this yeah and then we have major wine we should have a uh I think higher so she can't run it yeah we just got to be like would be like here yeah I'm giving this to get to City Center does he have it this way though yeah yeah a third of a rock and that's there that's harder it's a lot harder pretty much Limited in just about all our options there sander I've always seem quite risky I'm gonna draw around get to the inside of hers no down to that stuff very good Stone from receiver yellow one yeah right on the bottom two and a half guys okay [Applause] I'm gonna call this a bit of a pickle in Scotland wanna be two two mine's good we're gonna curl a little bit I'm gonna have to go vehicle yep yep yep yep yep yep Nice Shot nice so guarding things up was the the option one of the options trying to take away that tap foreign foreign here so um to get Phil forfeit uh yeah um special deal s [Music] gonna get there no it doesn't do too much other than just take away the outside foreign she needs this she needs to before guys pretty good on drawers just came up slightly heavy on the eighth end apart from that she's been spot on okay then stiffer than the regular drop yes yeah okay still nice though okay this before then that right hand side as you see it blocked on this other side try and get two points for her team one's nice I'm just down to the sweepers [Music] to hold the line right here needing to 14. you're close to watch the week yep and she's done it Super Draw under pressure from Jamie Sinclair and all the fans appreciating that draw especially the ones from the USC it is a two and they're going to delete 5-4 going into the tenth end [Music] s up [Music] [Applause] [Music] 868 meters [Applause] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] keep standing this number is nine they have no idea the next number is an eight each day today the next effort is another eight the next number is a four a four and a five hour ladies and gentlemen for six thousand eighty two dollars is a four w three nine eight eight four four you want yourself six thousand dollars and you got three seconds to collected thank you [Music] [Music] foreign between Russia and the USA five four but Russia have the last Stone Advantage they have the hammer CE yeah [Music] there's that's it yeah this is quite short they like it round about the Ford sign don't they yeah just uh a little too afraid of throwing that to tied to the Rings or into the Rings mine's good three three on its own mine's pretty good good mine's good easy two two if you can yeah two and a half or two and a half for there easy oh oh okay Santa lines that one for USA yeah foreign [Applause] audience I don't mind that it's better around everything you like that well they're almost guard or the rift I like I kind of like the rip the rip they run it and sit one well they're angled and it's only top eight yeah I don't mind coming around the whole thing whatever you think James I know you love that answer I don't think I just don't think ripping helped as much either you've seen the time clocks but I'm sure they're we rip what are they plenty of time to play pretty uh open and quick yeah or two of course to win that's it they're asking for a timeout if we rip we need to make a double at some point but at least everything's Right Center I know I think they're going to lock one on and I think we'll have to play The Run and it'll be hitting two already yeah that's another one after Chasing for sure I don't think we play the run I think we are at that point I'm just nervous if my draw who's out of hair they're just pop in it to sit too yeah you know yeah like we'll have this girl it's not a particularly useful guard the high side I think around is the call I don't know we can rip we can freeze onto their red come top button I'm not loving the interns no it's not a great angle of a high guard on Center yeah and then they have this corner run I feel like like Jordan's got a very good angle for them either that's true it's like guarding the yeah like just off center just touch this that's what I'm leaning towards and they have they have to I think we have time yeah we're going for it we're going we're going yeah okay okay where's the best spot up there just off uh just this side I think like right here I like even higher make them double hard yeah like one is great I think once yeah I think less ice one okay since we're going so high yeah just my side of Center yep so less I ain't gonna finish still even with that you can hear the girls sing we're gonna go for it [Music] you gotta pick added chili in the game against Canada as well I think you can yeah come around everything to the top floor Eye Center coming up as well to throw the Heat could get everything going here well if anyone can she can look at that 100 on her 14 hits double at least not sure about it foreign [Music] nope we're just just you know decide apart from the player's voices inside the arena here to the center line with that guard replacing it [Applause] is yeah yeah foreign [Applause] [Applause] do your job well easy easy two's good hair tight come on hardback hardback Let It Die Let It Die really high oh okay okay is it longer this time [Music] uh-huh [Music] uh videos foreign outside going forward peel that Center guard they know that you say becoming around or even replacing a guard again going to have to make a move here time's kind of running out he needs to make contact with something that can't go past everything keep the shooter in the house as well here [Applause] he almost sticks around it's not a bad try but in fact just it's all that bit softer for a little bit more red hang the shooter on the edge of the house okay it's short stalling it's really good but I think actually if you have a shot yep at least trying to sweep that for curl in the end 's good I think we're okay mine's good we're running pretty high still running a lot of room guys a lot of room lots of room come on hard man all the way yeah to do their stuff here you need this round as much as they can [Applause] wait there no yeah so you'll see plenty of it on the other end watching over across the guard I'll pick that one out nicely Delight too [Music] [Applause] yep so four stones to go this control roll right to center okay can you believe um Russia is flying too here so Sickler's gonna have to make a rule preferably now it's pretty good uh showing here this is top t it's not a long rule made a very similar role against Canada yesterday to steal that was very getable sorry not enough of a rule there get in there Undercover [Music] [Applause] here Sinclair is calling off the sweepers Carlson still I wanted that to keep going though that is that is annoying that shot is made if they don't sweep yeah quite as much it's tough to get in I think you will she's got to be playing something pretty light she knows if uh was ever makes this hat my roll back might be uh not even tougher rule might be forced to draw though same line again definitely you weren't sure those American fans feeling every shot here to keep the shooter around because of Sinclair comes half buried so I could have just come after and picked it out for the win but Sinclair comes after this time and we said I was gonna have to find a way to tap it out and keep the shooter 4-2 declare six one in here real good to be tough for Russia to score at all makes exciting tense stuff here land what will they have mine's close it's more important to get it passed out the Redstone needs to be shot though 14-1 that's maybe a tiny bit piercedure oh my goodness [Applause] [Music] oh boy oh it's so disappointing from an American point of view they played the end so well so well so took the rest looks like it might not be off in the end Russia already and the Redstone Counting foreign we have one already in there you know You Can level things you've leveled things up already this for the win this last Stone for the bronze medal want to give your sweepers a chance here barely keep the rooms down here 14-1 on Sinclair's draw the lights are should be there [Music] and she knows it and Russia have claimed the bronze medal in the 2018 Ford World women's curling Championship what a battle this Wars right to the final Stone in the balance aboard a performance by this Russian team 2016 European Champions in a bronze medal of the world's fantastic achievement first time we've been in this position contesting a medal at the world and the one a bronze huge disappointment for Team USA who fought all the way and it really could have gone either way sander yeah very uh open game cautious approach by both teams of the person Bobby I've got a tight game and definitely a derby one by the end not much to look back at in the regrets for either timoth certainly not Russia just uh a message here on the intro there [Music] that's the uh fourth bronze in five years for uh for Russia and this competition [Applause] still no medals for uh USA not since 2006. [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'll take a look at some of the highlights from that second half a couple of uh real good freezes by Jamie Sinclair to make sure Russia can't score two gets the draw for one but uh sweeper's mistake Redstone pulls up and it's a steal of one for USA in the eighth end up with the chance to put two points off the board makes no mistakes Noah's hit it's a 4-3 game [Music] okay [Music] and the ninth James Sinclair with an intern eating full forefoot to score to come on get that lead back the straw is just made all the way down very controlled beautiful uh last shots which meant Russia needed one for the xr2 for the win Sinclair's Stone she's coming up a little heavy into the box well leaving Russia sitting one moiser with a chance to drop to score two pick up the bronze let's draw is there all the way down onto the forefoot sweeper's delight and uh the light as well for Russia bronze medalist at the fourth world Women's Championship 2018. foreign [Music] Robin and how the teams stacked up after 12 games each Canada and Sweden on top and those are the teams that will play the gold medal game and then we had Russia and USA also coming through their quarterfinals and that's a a look at their USA beating Korea Russia beating Czech Republic and of course then losing out in their Sammy finals to play each other this morning Russia ends up with bronze and it's uh still the goal to play for as Canada plays Sweden [Applause] congratulations Victoria bronze medal of the World Championships how does that sound Ah that's incredible I am so proud of my team it was such a good game and it was ups and downs and here and there and um some Stones they made better than us and uh some we made some good shots but wow I have no words to describe that we fought so hard for that and it was a long week for us but it was a great adventure and finish it with the medal it just feels so amazing how are you feeling at that final soon I'm glad I've had a lot of time to think and to breath and to to prepare myself and I just believe that they can sweep everything that they're so strong so I can throw it a little in a little slower so I got rid of I tried to get rid of uh all the emotions I had and just to play what was your expectation before you came here uh we of course was hoping for the playoffs we uh not we don't think too much about the playoffs before we reach the playoff because if you just think think about the medal that is uh like the medal that you don't have you probably won't have it so we of course wanted to go to the playoffs and then show what we wanted but the medal no matter which metal would be great for us and it happened what do you think they'll think back home in Russia I think I think they are proud and it's the new team that came to the world championship and that shows that we have a lot of great curlers in Russian congratulations well done thank you Russia then bronze medalists USA ends up in the disappointing fourth place but there's one more game left at this Ford World women's curling championship and it is the gold medal game Canada I played Sweden at three o'clock local time here in North Bay Ontario Canada stay tuned for more curling action [Music] [Music] [Applause]
