[Music] [Music] good evening curling fans around the world from calgary canada the sun has set on the day and almost on this championship a lovely look at the downtown skyline obviously the calgary tower prominent here was the torch for the 1988 olympic winter games the bow river flowing just north of downtown the beautiful bridges lit up and we're all lit up here at the canada olympic park and the windsport arena setting up tonight's gold medal game of the bkt tires and ok tire world men's curling championship it's been fun to get to this point and now we have sweden taking on scotland doesn't get much better than this these two great curling nations these two great curling teams are out on the ice and the world title on the line that one has been won in the two previous championships by nicola sadine he's trying to defend it let's meet the teams here in this gold medal game sweden their lead christopher sundgren the second for sweden erasmus third oscar erickson and their skip nicholas adeen they will take on scotland their first time at a world championship final for this team with their lead hammy mcmillan second bobby lammy their third grant hardy and skip bruce maut representing scotland in this championship game here are the standings after the round robin we have the six playoff teams sweden and rcf led the field 11-2 usa right behind it 10-3 then canada scotland and switzerland italy and norway just on the outside looking in then japan just behind them germany denmark netherlands korea and china rounding out the 14 team field at this year's championship so here's how the playoffs have shaped up so far the qualification game three versus six was switzerland beating the u.s 4-5 was scotland beating canada set up two semis sweden beat switzerland 11-3 scotland over rcf53 so that sets up the gold medal game sweden against scotland we'll have for you next as well the bronze medal game going on switzerland and rcf we'll keep you up to date with that game as we have two games going out on the ice here for the championship and the last session we're on sheet c for the gold medal game but the bronze medal switzerland and rcf hope you've been enjoying our coverage throughout the week and now into this gold medal game i'm luke coley joined with olympic and world champion kevin martin sweden scotland we're excited for this game we really are you and i were just talking about how exciting it is and to have a young player brilliant like bruce moet and uh and of course young first time in a final has to be super excited how well their team is playing they have a legitimate shot of of course knocking off the the champ and getting to the finals sometimes that's harder than actually winning it they get over that hurdle their bronze medal a couple of years ago with the world championship and nicholas dean he's back again yeah you know i'm not sure i'm with you on it's it's uh easier to win it than to get to the final when you have to play nicodeen because there's just you know for him this is just what he goes for and he'll be extremely tough and this is looking for a three-peat for this team we've seen nations win three in a row but you never know necklacing gets to come out play for sweden again at a world championship going for three in a row and his fifth there's no curler in the world that has five world championship titles bruce mallett in scotland they're looking for a victory it's been a while since they've had one 2009 was the last victory 2012 was the last time they were in a final so they need to get a good start in this game we'll see sweden start with the hammer because of the 11-2 record i agree with that i really think that uh the young team scotland they really do need a good solid start you know maybe force nick in the first couple of ends get hammered stay close get their feet under them and away they go they start off strong in that semi-final getting a win over rcf they scored a three in the third end played a solid game and bruce had an open draw to the forefoot but actually heading down said that's the most nervous open draw i've ever thrown yeah i got well it's pretty good to me so ready to go when time to buckle up and enjoy hammy mcmillan will get this one started for scotland two thirds line's good weight's good lighting's really good weight's good way better a little bit room boys we're there yeah you've not really curled yet don't really want to either run really straight down this line really tight you i was actually thinking about that so that's an aggressive move christopher sunderland sweden and his team he was right at the top of the standings as far as leads all week long scotland might go in the house i know they usually go out front but you know the nerves and everything i thought they might try to play the first end a little bit simple and uh but i like it go go ahead if you feel good they did seem rather loose their usual seemed about the same relaxed selves before every game as we've seen them out there and they're throwing a tennis ball around and just trying to calm those nerves maybe with that type of uh exercise playing the intern tap trying to get maybe a little bit of a roll wanting to make sure they stay in the rings so in the open you see that if that first one doesn't get buried and the freeze don't come those hitting rolls back and forth oh team scotland would like to roll behind the center guard they don't have last rock advantage bobby lambie second for this scotland team of course they're still the same team 2018 finished third won the bronze medal girl okay nice good good yeah it's so slow great wait what's up 26 year old his fourth world championship his fourth finale guaranteed to have four medals in all of them there's two gold one silver he's hoping it's uh not a even pair it doesn't want a pair of people this time same weight okay yeah same weight too nose is fine [Music] see the rules of play eight ends minimum must be played here in the playoffs 38 minutes of thinking time 160 second timeout given to each team playing quiet trying to go after that one yeah it's fairly buried though it's a tough shot to have to get really and won't get anything there for vana just overthrown youngest member of this swedish foursome grand hardy cousins a little bit of a family affair there in the scottish lineup perfect tell you bob yeah so they lie too nice little start for scotland so far in this first end of play run back trying to hit just inside nose yep yep the lefty oscar eriksen run it back get them both squirts but opens up that forefoot a hair higher closer to center line a little bit closer center would have got rid of all the uh all the yellows but uh over curled a little bit a chance to come around again more so much more no you're not so much you're on the same line as well pretty close though about the same depth all right all right get it going how do i get this curling [Music] run back again [Music] wow a few misses earlier putting the pressure on this swedish team and a run-back not made scotland already lying three now into skip stones just over curled again second in a row first one pace is really nice yeah same thing same as alaskan theme yeah 16 16 twos what i got from really tight in 2016 that's a good location and that's knowing your opponent any closer than probably seeing the run oh definitely i might run it anyways i can see a good half on the one turn coming around trying to corner freeze really good guard kind of had the uh swedish team looking at both options that teaser almost teaser so we're at a really good spot [Music] nicholas mentioned after their semi-final win they're tend to sometimes be slow starters and started slow in the event and they don't want to start slow in this gold medal game 35 years of age another world championship final [Applause] and just bounces off ever so slightly not where he wanted to go no definitely not 12 yeah 12. four yeah i think so partial misses in a row 125 just 12 i think one by rasmus two for oscar and now the first one yeah for nick what are you throwing it's four five okay right in the nose is really good let's draw the size of the bit yeah i don't think if you're scotland you make this one you sit right on the nose for us to draw the button for one no no no just a nice weight here putting the pressure on trying to make sweden sweat a little bit a single point with the hammer in this first end clean clean clean clean clean clean does not want to roll anywhere right on the nose please need to a little bit wider put this one right on the button world champion foreign so needs to be perfect weight for nicolas dean in this first end that's perfect and perfect line both to score one just gotta come down get the little rub and roll for one wow what a shot a game saver in the first end and nicola sadina and sweden lead one but what a shot to score that one so the gold medal game over there will jump over to the bronze medal game and keep you up to date switzerland and rcf it is rcf with the hammer and see those redstones for switzerland look like they're lying too in benoit schwartz draw to the top of the button and put pressure on sergey glukov yes big pressure could be applied here the perfect shot from benoit leaving this one short as a guard curling a little bit not bad tough to get in there no choice we'll have to try [Music] vietnam this is to give one red across the top of the other red the back red goes the yellow jams on the side red and in the end when all the smoke clears there'll be one red shot stone a yellow and the red up top but yellow will be second shot so about a half rock is the call here hard he's made game game savers throughout the week great shots he needs one right now sergey glukov and rcf in this bronze metal game [Music] and we'll miss everything does he spin that one up it's a steal of two for switzerland to start off they're looking for their fourth bronze medal just outside and klukkov misses his final shot of that first end also that's the bronze medal game this is the gold medal game here at the bkt tires in okay entire world a well-earned force sweden pretty happy to escape they're in big trouble there have to draw a side button half shots in the that's where they rely on you sometimes and make that last one make it count at all so just kiss the guard well wait ha ha eleven five tough start team sweden are they finished after just eight ends earlier in the semi final had some time clean whoa easy it's that awkward amount of time almost yep too much time yeah yeah yeah not enough time to go back to hotel and reception hard gotta go for touching it okay you've got to go in the red first really gonna go inside it's probably bringing in behind the corner anyway that's fine harden it anyway harden it so light a little light but it does end up punching the red behind the corner guard so i'll be able to freeze to that later not what happy was after though okay yeah it's right on the nose here with just control weight try to hit this exactly on the nose stay buried uh [Music] will lie too easy peel trying to make the double on the reds and stay as a corner being an even end if bobby makes the double rolls though you'll probably see that the corner peeled hard all right i'll be okay with the blank this end try to force in the odd on that point staging corner guard sweep excellent so two corners now playing into scotland's hands with the hammer that four foot open coming around the tight corner will not want to bury this fully would like to bury maybe a thick half two thirds if you bury completely in scotland we'll try to hit exactly on the nose and they'll have one bearing this is important not to fully bury this now of course played with nicolas sadine at the 2014 olympic winner games next year he was their coach they've had success since they've mixed the lineup up after those sochi olympic games alan hannah the coach of this team since 2016 he's with him now at when he won the world junior championship in that year really good shot but because sweden didn't bury it fully now they can still see a third playing the run back though i thought they might play a hack later but yep trying to make the doubles i'll try and make the run back avoid the jam and oscar erickson does just that but now going back to what we talked about earlier with hammy's first shot yes it didn't knock anything out but now it opens up an opportunity so watch this misses the red one which is a great shot but right there is your situation that causes trouble so grant has a chance here to lock one on that corner guard that hammy i very nice [Music] [Music] you could try and freeze to it oscar throwing some weight at this one trying to pick this out can we see a little wee bit of it trying to blast it out makes everything go made that look easy that was not easy can only see maybe a third of a rock past that guard yeah we got a view here it'll come into your picture how much is available but now a free goal no worries nothing in the middle just a free chance to come around top house around the corner we're there line's fine line's good line only stay close okay top four key line bobby only keyline bobby only where t at least does not want to be behind the tv that is a little deep that'll open up the freeze opportunity just a couple of feet deeper than perfect makes this shot more difficult oh definitely especially or maybe two or three rocks up i think the hands take on the run actually this is a nice opportunity for sweden now with the force keeping that forefoot open this is first to skip stones in the second end chestnut gender try not to bounce off of it we've got a real good look coming this way is how much it does curl especially around that corner high nose yeah it's not a bad idea just so we can make that though can't we yeah then he freezes but it's got to make it i guess would you prefer what you're liking all right and both are both do you think you can get rid of the raid i like it i think i can at back lane same as hammy's weight that's fine just through probably you are you hit it back four three quarters back hit it back forward okay i'll go for this if i'm here high then it's probably two different weights but you probably caught that way though i still think you're going to end up lying on the nose you're not going to push it out loud no i like that okay curling here nice 13. yeah perfect well trusting himself trusting the where the broom is and liking the spot just mallet waistcoat here like yep yeah just stand right skirt clean yep yep squeeze kids hair loss but wait feel good clean waist perfect clean up curl up curl wing clean just didn't have enough weight such good judgment by the sweepers you heard it right away they said that it's a little light it's a little light oh it's impressive now for sweden just split the rings [Music] a little bit light you foreign a little heavy and all of a sudden it's a hit for three a little light give bruce a double for three so this has to be placed exactly perfect back eight foot only knows what his opponent can do can make that double if it's in the wrong spot it this has got plenty this has plenty can't be deep or it's a shot for three how far will it go okay looks like a shot for two it is a third shot wow okay a lot more also an opportunity there switzerland rcf and sergey glukov facing a couple this time he's got a little bit more room to draw let's get this to the eight foot for one drawn to the side this one comes into the eight foot of the bronze metal game and rcf is on the board with one two one switzerland leading that game final shot here scotland a chance to score a two in this second in clean where's good clean yep yep we scoot clean clean this looks like nice weight control it's just to the hacks great throw bursts and it is two on the board for scotland they confirm it it's a deuce for scotland and a great stop start for the youngsters take on nicholas dean 2-1 narrowly so yes okay if you're here let's see where it goes even if it curls over a touch so 2-1 the gold medal game the bkt tires and okay tire world men's curling championship in calgary and the windsport arena part of canada olympic park luke coley here with olympic and world champion kevin martin scotland great start is perfect now they really got to work hard to get another force okay all yours sweden to come into the top 12 maybe bite top eight that'd be perfect don't want to be too deep here because the guard is so long just bite top very good exactly the spot not a lot of choice but to freeze i know you can imagine they're just going through the wing scotland is freezing something into the 12-foot circle the scoring area is still huge and that's what hammy's talking about if we play this shot they're going to open side and it's a pretty easy deuce it's good thinking like you can't argue the thought process 12 hammy's right yeah good 12. how many gets involved is sometimes you'll see leads that aren't as involved but very much so a team discussion on a lot of shots pretty sharp you know there would have been a lot of uh strategic discussions around the dinner table at his house i would imagine yeah there's dad a world champion tonight 91 wait's really good first got to go in the red it's got to go in the red yeah i can see that it's did get it little miscues in the first couple ends chance here for bobby lambie right on the nose could get rid of both red stones certainly stay close to the middle if this is on the nose oh almost got it oh it was close by here trying to clip the back one i caught a long guard to try to raise back and not only make the raise but almost made the raise double that was the call so it wouldn't have been any any good fortune that was just good shot making it unless they hit open in the forefoot now trying to make the hit and roll right in behind the center themselves great shot same weight just nice normal almost yeah that's fine so trying to run back again could play the uh tap get one out but bobby's so good at this so play the run back oh clean clean curl hard it's close oh those are so precise because of how high that was yes exactly such a long guard that's what my hammy wasn't happy with it when it stopped knowing that this could be the case you're having to make these run backs and it's a far distance this is a little bit light got to get this to the rings they have that one in the back but i don't know i don't think so leave a second centerline guard for scotland now i totally yeah i don't have scotland i think we know that you have to hit the back one it might be foolhardy yeah you're winning right now two to one so hit the back one understanding that sweden is going to come around and you know you could still give up the two points but at least get rid of this opportunity for three raise close baby clean clean yep clean oh yep here we go oh lean looks good yep the run back not because there's two well you couldn't leave them so maybe just biting four foot oh even top eight top eight real good chance that uh holy ghost grant party will throw just fully [Music] there's nothing you can do about it it's just the way it has to be and that's when sweden has last advantage and had the advantage because of the way the the end progressed so now needs a good freeze out of his third i've got here we'll get it close though you should try and wait boys okay mine's great i'll go ahead okay hang on left line first line kicks lines two only like only reach happy with themselves there as well the sweeping tandem of hammy and lammy well not just that but when grant threw it he threw it and it went like a little light you know what no no we can get it there then bruce so it was thrower to sweepers to skip to sweepers just a beautiful thing to watch and listen until [Music] yeah so hit and roll freeze hit and roll hit along the nose really solidifies your two hitting and rolling behind you're trying for three get a mistake and then you have that correct trying to make sure they have that hit and stick this is out there this stick okay no but you could do with that one it was kind of out there for a while but that's fine don't we yeah i think we're top button boys okay i'm fine with that yeah even if you get it wrapped right right in the back button you've probably got to church even back forward it's not awful yeah you put it right in the lid a lot of confidence these young guys yeah right there burst if you can never get there you probably see a lot of teams go and hit that back one absolutely absolutely or even tap the front yellow sit sit two yeah but bruce does that you know that nicodemus a real good chance well not lacking confidence is the scotland team no definitely not and this is a good call coming around right to the button hard line's really good hard line just go all the way all right then hard luck all the way are you leaving here they try to get that one to the button yeah see what's going on in the bronze medal game switzerland and rcf keeping you up to date ben wash schwartz and switzerland have the hammer miss an opportunity for the blank hit and roll out retain a 2-1 lead and the hammer and we'll catch a good chunk but rolls out with that big weight for the swiss team they will keep a 2-1 lead and that bronze medal matchup will keep you up to date with that game as well as this gold medal match-up that one coming up short heard it right over his hand he thought they thought he was light out of bruce's hand so a great opportunity to come into the front forefoot very around two yellows exactly okay [Music] doesn't need to fully bury just in the top four yep take that inside away yeah because it perhaps scotland has an easy raise anyways to get rid of the one in the middle so now they may play the razor i think well she got this doesn't really make his life any tougher but it might work makes him throw a different draw is the only thing yeah but there's a small chance you leave my hip for three okay if i do this i just wanted to pick it i can't just get rid of it i'd love to get here but i don't need to try and get cute with it okay just get rid of it and just concede all right see the two smart and that was just caused by obviously bruce's first one coming up light instead of being on the button and take your medicine you miss i think so bruce hoffman take it out right because you try and hit that they leave a double bring that back one into play easy you're one up it's okay to be one down with hammer so just pick this one out clean force nicholas dean and sweden to draw for their second point no problem i'm biting four foot much nicer for a skip to have this than they draw against four he did in the first end to the side of the button that's right i have to go on this that's a little bit sometimes a little bit light i gotta get this one to the forefoot nice shot good two points good scrub by the front end to get sweden make sure that gets to the fourth foot 3-2 in this gold medal game after three ends i think so keep the game to the feet to them as we have been first i was almost just giving them an opportunity yeah i kind of had been all over them and then just kind of gave them oh good though okay let's just get our corner corner around it yeah like that me too let them know how many is [Music] oh [Music] is [Music] yes men's curling championship 2021. the bronze going on protocols they had to reschedule all the games and doubling up some of the draws as opposed to having a separate session for the two semifinals that both went at the same time this afternoon and now the golden bronze so two sheets we'll keep you up to date with that one as well but we've had a good first three ends of this gold medal game hammy mcmillan and scotland 91 on the tournament a good week and a good start to this game very solid for the entire week just really good same as the first minute starts this team off well most ends of most games makes a big difference if you have a lead throwing in the 90s yeah and you saw that you look at the teams that made the playoffs all their leads are right up there christopher as well great numbers obviously the the different shots the leads are playing their numbers are gonna be a little bit higher than some of the other positions because they're different and they're throwing a lot of more draws than more high-risk shots leads should have the highest percentages and they generally do it nice come around there with the top eight okay i think so yeah there's the way i give them the double center and then we just don't make the fields top 12. i've got 14 million out there yeah give us 50. where is it all these three players in this gold medal game very smart knowing the game knowing how it's gonna be played [Music] to get that one there can it spin at the end i agree good there good job wow just great effort by grant hardy and bobby lambie just a touchline it's got just a little more weight bobby would have got that bye obviously with the masks on the players today they're just making sure they can have get a little bit of air in get some extra oxygen [Music] yep that's great [Music] for scotland playing in the qualifier game and the semi-final earlier today no no no no no no never mind yep yep both of the reds go and try and roll it over [Music] it's [Music] is deeper in the house than the other so this is a very very thick double has to hit it for to make this double and throw it fairly hard rasmus is good at that part so just trying to hit off the nose does he get the benefit of that touch of the guard wow rasmus look back at the opposition and give this sorry about that just ticks we heard rasmus there saying sorry bruce just touches that guard and there it is the sportsmanship in the game and they didn't go back it wasn't what they wanted obviously but not touching so leave sweden line three yep trying to get a little roll closer it's close this one to the center great effort right back for bobby lambie okay for the raid deciding if they played a raise or play the hack weight deciding on the race just off nose and save the winger too i don't think we can maybe come around the corner try and make sure we kill it yep yeah worry where that one is in the top part of the house yeah very much so they're talking about the angle triple get rid of all the reds with one shot that was certainly an option as well but hit and roll to the side good call yeah gotta go hard there's the red one right just outside the rings you could always roll into it hard is that the case now if they get a nose from sweden they can use the corner or even the center corner guard is quite far over might not be able to get eight foot that way so probably the center but [Music] well we'll roll but how far does he roll a little too far easy peel just trying to hold this rock yeah just hog line in it just finished a little bit which it should [Music] rcf sizing up a double himself this is a very difficult cross house roll it over and close in the rings could make the freeze even wow right to the corner and this was the second last it is switzerland with the hammer after that they'll probably have to blast to blank the end yeah oh there's no there's no deuce possibility what what what a shot hit and roll freeze almost all you could do because if you hit any less you wouldn't have the right angle to make the double so just great result he's made some of those just great and savers game savers throughout the whole week and rcf just two losses and round robin losing to scotland in the semi-final trying to pick up a bronze medal then schwartz wants to blank this but we'll knows it and take one victory for rcf getting the force three one okay okay he's probably just coming around no okay yeah cool i'm good with that exactly yeah that's true yeah even if you are just half under he's probably chasing you hopefully play that 12 wait i've been playing okay first good discussion decided to go underneath the center guard knowing that if you do make the perfect roll you're in front of the t you can hold this for sure very familiar with with their opponents knowing that you go the other way he's going to probably come around and may be forced like so could really got to curl hard keep it going getting close no hole and we'll come out if it rolls and shows that much on the other side you'd have the out turn or the intern draw for two because you go too far if nick makes this corner freeze half on the yellow there is no draw for two you've blocked the thick side of the button and there is no room on the intern side just at the smallest margins difference is foreign made a couple of crucial shots in this game so far let's make the freeze on the corner doesn't really want i don't think there's room on the intern side there is room on the out turn that looks easier yeah whatever one you want or i can play this you could also give up one yeah i know okay i think eddie button draws perfect i think so oh you've got great sweepers two inches left okay i think we have a good go at it yeah i think so that corner guard's not not in the path here it's far enough out there i think it's far enough just barely but you're right it's it's not far off the path we've got 14-1 yeah nick just threw 14.02 in his last one so somewhere around 14 is perfect well it is scotland line one this for the extra point not an easy way but there's a little bit of button available really cool [Music] really good this looks really good and just curls and they lose it a little bit and comes up just shy so just a single point for scotland and we're all tied after four ends so close but it's just a single 3-3 in this gold medal [Music] okay well there's that world championship trophy on display between the two games going on but the gold medal game is where our focus is on a 3-3 game and what a great effort from bruce didn't have a lot to work with but just over curled on them and came up a hair light they were certainly right with the time they needed they thought about 14.1 that was actually 14.5 yeah so that's about three and a half feet lighter than what they thought and they swept it hard and on almost good so you get a lovely view of the windsport arena that's played host here to the bkt tires and okay tire world men's curling championship it's housed continental cup it's hosed a couple of grand slam events before curling has been here and it's a nice venue it's a it's a great setup the olympic size hockey rink that they're on extra space between sheets it's terrific these days yeah you'll have extra room between each one so yes it's been terrific we've seen some great shot making throughout the week and in this playoff round so far that's the third draw of the day second game for both of these teams switzerland and the bronze medal game is playing their third game of the day that qualifier earlier today beating the usa [Music] freeze coming up the roll it's behind the t line that's why you wouldn't want it up in the top 12 area normal control yeah i can play the same as i played last time down here so you can see just about on the nose goes yellow yellow side of red over to the other red so what would that be a three ball combination into the corner pocket in the corner pocket here we go so we gotta call the shot yeah wow yep [Music] so leaves the center loses one of theirs and the other one rolls off to the side out of the rings yeah i just over curled wanting to hit about that much off center the other way so just over curled and wrong sided [Music] center guard and how basically the house split roxanne in a triangle form probably if this may force another run back probably they're so good at it that yeah it's just part of the nature now so many of them if you can't make those you're not going to be playing at this level right right making a raise back when we were playing such a big deal if we make one but now it's just standard practice knowing exactly where the weight is so that nick can call the line to make exactly this shot look at that so difficult it doesn't look like a lot but that's just there's a lot going on in that shot that's just a lot of fun to see yes there's so much so much good about it there's no doubles this is my first thought okay okay trying to bunch the stones together there's still quite a few rocks to come so lots of time for skulls to get out of this it's going to take some really good shots though to do it first one is to hit and roll approximately good here david [Music] good real nice might be open for an intern bump not easy it's almost completely buried oh thank you two stones left in that fifth end bronze medal game switzerland rcf and his rcf line two and they have the hammer so benoit schwartz and switzerland hoping to avoid giving up two to who would tie the game up that was a full one push he doesn't get shot stoned i think he was trying to get that one over to the other side something glucop made in the last end so rcf an opportunity to play the tap try and score two to tie that game up okay yes try and just play 12 and roll the top sorry see almost all of that weight rcf skip has made shots and made key ones when he's needed to obviously with an 11-2 record how to make a lot of shots in order to have that record rcf will tie that game up they'll head to their fifth end break 3-3 switzerland will have the hammer into the second half of that game that's a good shot [Music] to make it a very difficult take out on the next one because of the reds behind so the only way is to now tap and roll to the outside which will set up many double opportunities so we said it's going to take some good shooting to get out of it well so far two real good ones one by bobby and one by grant worked well they have bunch them together this looks good trying to stick on the side all right excellent so that's exactly what but now okay you might have a run at the triple here yeah it looks like it you're almost trying to stuff this and just hope it rolls to here i agree it's in between seven eighths and three quarters i think yeah yeah yep difficult to not jam the middle one on the back one if hit perfectly this will be the trick to this shot yep yep well they made a couple to bunch them together now grant hardy trying to get rid of a couple on the second one see if they get all of them as you said kevin that one in the back it's like you've seen a few of those it was just it was just lined up difficult that's a good throw excellent throw unfortunately this wonderful sport the math has to [Music] and if you bury it fully around the corner guard and then the other team hit the right on the nose they're buried behind their guard you go around the center you're risking the run back double have to leave something right i like going around the center of myself into the top eight that's kind of the first feeling just top eight though you don't want to be deeper than that that's as far as you want to go nothing more comes out the other side but top part of the ring is to lie to for sweden and now the run back double this is what nick was worried about stick it right underneath your shoulder but what do you do head nose it doubles real close yeah just normal almost perfect pretty much knows with an intern slightly across face with an out because of the spin of the rocks when they collide it's kind of like a pool ball if you put a little bit of sight on it same kind of thing for anybody else to get that different reaction right normal yep like they were going more aggressively to make sure they stuck it behind cover great shot just a really good shot you can clip on wouldn't be wrong because of the side that was left open you try and chase after it could jam on your back right and then you're forced definitely i'm gonna make that play around and draw the forefoot the aggressive move nothing wrong with this is just so difficult to get it past your red one in the back corner so really yep trying to execute this draw and see if you can get set up a deuce with skip stones in this fifth end is perfect okay very good is that there for you probably there back line delight too it's fully very but it's buried you're gonna be close to the yellow [Music] so once again great respect for the other team either just if you think this is there or not you saw mine quite nice here see what you think from the hackers if you're injured too past that yellow it's there okay like it yeah yeah see what you think from hack if you're not not comfortable with it we'll just draw right beside it right i agree what are you thinking i saw it right like first thing he said i miss like i don't really have anything what did bloody tough i like it it's like if i end up missing this does he have a shot for three i don't know if you had the guard like oh off there well see what just draw right next to it like a hair high of it yeah it's a situation like last time where if you were to lock a corner on it there would be basically no draw for two because you you know there's no room in the out turn you block same scenario as what nick had i'm playing the tap wanting to get that red rock out of the house so there's no shot for three whiskey that's pretty tough you don't want to lose control this is kind of the reason i like the pick now he's got to play the draw as opposed to having hammer in the even ends now need to make this one facing a couple draw the forefoot so the final shot here the fifth end nicholas adin needs the four foot to score one particularly that one into the forefoot to the button for one right well nicolas sadine confident in that one they get their one and we'll head to the fifth end break 4-3 sweden leading scotland here in the championship final hi well first end of this gold medal game and one end by scotland they put together pressure on misses by sweden and nicolas dean now draw the buttons so a one nothing lead and then in the second and nick had a chance to split the rings just came up and yeah an inch or two heavy but it leaves an opportunity now for a tap for two can't miss those so it is two for scotland they answer back great scott for the start for the scots and this third end nicholas sadine draw for that second point yeah the deuce was set up for quite a while and bruce on his last one just the sides uh we'll just peel the one out of the forefoot and give nick a draw for two there's nothing they could do a good call two goes up and we are in a 4-3 game here in our championship finals sweden and scotland the bronze medal game 3-3 in the sixth and a good game going over there as well as these are the metal games of this world championship we'll wrap things up here in calgary tonight this other playoffs have gone on so far switzerland beating the us and the qualification game along with scotland they get to play the rcf in the semifinal they beat him 5-3 while sweden beat switzerland 11-3 so sweden scotland that's our gold medal game how we got here bronze medal game going on switzerland and rcf almost i'm kind of like yeah skipper's in good form guys let's keep him in good form he keeps pulling it out at the bottom we asked the question oh big time that's one hell of a shot by the way all right seriously good job nice good paul cheers great last one really nice yeah that was great well it's been a great first five ends of this championship game four three's the score not a whole lot to choose overall 86 percent for sweden 88 for scotland slight advantage in the draw for sweden 84-79 and scotland leading in the hit percentage 93-88 no steals one point game we're in for a fun finish to this gold medal match-up oh well we are inside the windsport arena lukola here with olympic and world champion kevin martin bkt tires and okay tire world men's curling championship gold middle game and we've had a great first five back and forth and now scotland coming in as the hammer playing the sixth end of a one-point game yeah would certainly like to get two points here and of course for sweden they'd be happy with with a blank here get a blank or uh or a force either or 93 on the game for christopher sungren again foreign starts off end number six yeah the corner will go up and mcmillan at 83 percent corner up in time to go to work right time to get to work yeah this will be a this is a very important end weight's nice start to second half final two stones sixth end switzerland rcf looks like lying two at the moment switzerland does have the hammer in this sixth inn they get a note turn across the face of shot stone they're trying to get that roll and comes up with the last rock to roll behind again it sounded like a broken record all week long seeing that for almost a week and a half sergey gluckoff his best finish out of worlds in ninth place and now coming in trying to get a medal for the first time well then he's good real good we're gonna get to [Music] at the world level forcing benwash schwartz to draw the forefoot because he hung under the forefoot as well yeah yeah yeah looks good [Music] but it's only for one yeah not for that extra point so a 4-3 lead after six ends of that bronze medal game switzerland trying this swiss team trying to win their fourth bronze medal at the world that's with branagh 75 on the game in this one then great yeah i like that i like normal slow normal seven eight yeah like a solid normal now okay oh turn across face seven eights try to get rid of two reds but roll to a corner very important do not want to roll out here 90 on the game for bobby lambie and they do touch it that was the worry if they nosed it okay [Music] one of those frustrating you know you couldn't hit it that way and you do so just like that line two and coming around to the top button and pour a little pressure on here [Music] again lost my glasses no it's as close as i like to have stones perfect so thinking he might be getting rid of all three reds on one shot here on the nose or just just slightly high to bobby's right that's what they mean by that okay doesn't get any of the reds misses all of them just not a couple of not such good throws we are in the second half of a world championship final so that's understandable starting to you know the nerves and start thinking about it a little bit more you see that big trophy right beside you on the again just a few feet away keep your eyes away from that thing did you ever find that yourself you started wandering you see it out there make a little difference oh yes absolutely get some glare off of the lights as well every once in a while puts another guard out in not front lot of choice gotta make a run back here grant hardy has been superb yep close really close red red get them all moving oh boy real good nice thing real nice shawn leaves just the one in the rings terrific shot thanks buddy cheers look at that better now i you knew how you guys get them all going spins them out he can get rid of the then come around get rid of the next two on the next shot can't get rid of it's hard to make a quad doesn't want to over curl into the hole well if you come in a little bit deeper then grant would throw the straight back double now asking to go yellow onto the red shot stone because the devil is so steep for one if i just throw control we're trying to stick it buried trying to hit this about then you need to go to get out of the way then hit yellow onto the red rock and stay buried behind the corner two thirds that's the call i think it's closer to three quarters but in between the two yeah okay you're normal yep get normal yep [Music] trying to hold this they want to stick this one in the rings and we'll peel the guard off putting up those two reds yeah skips first i don't think you can afford to throw a guard on this one trying to hit about two-thirds but that rock never really got off center okay lammy went to the almost end to end on it he did all he could [Music] but now say that nick threw a center guard here bruce would come right around to the front forefoot buried so no real choice you've got to come around to the top four understanding that bruce will likely make the double split the house for the force that'll be the kind of the play we'll mark that down and i'll make sure well 83 percent on the game for nicola sedin rollins you want to be too deep don't think it'll scale through no i don't think so no it's double those double and then are you worried he's just throwing here again yeah well this will be step two here hi if he knows he knows it your plan you know it's whether you're just well it plays out here in this sixth end well not my plan nick's playing yes sorry nick's plan you're just talking this through it right if he knows it and he comes around it might leave his nose double for two okay i don't think this will be him well there's a couple mistakes bobby lammy's run backs in this end that wasn't able to really make and swing the end in their favor here chris mallett looking at this double takeout yep jumping right on the nose looks pretty good get out there and we'll stick it a little bit rolls over that's fine he doesn't make the double and sit in front a little bit back just make sure you don't leave any kind of a triple bring that other one into place you'd rather be deeper than higher definitely definitely deeper behind the t someplace has to be at least in the full 12. somewhere unless you come up a little late then you might take a trip one looked like an indication was to go back forward so definitely wants to try and make sure he's back somewhere around 13 9. [Music] that's we'll be behind the t line really wanted it back four all right come on back eight lie three keep the force on i like that you do i like this but yeah okay let's see those flags hanging beside each other all the 14 associations competing here at the just gonna that's just the second time these two nations have played in a world championship final it's 1967 the other time bruce will play the hit to score a single point attack clean clean whoa here heavy so back and forth back and forth we keep swinging 4-4 through six ends of play yeah it wasn't my first time [Music] okay oh foreign foreign okay [Music] madrid foreign should be there bruce well then light's fine grunt we begin end seven here this gold middle green trailer is close just one deuce each two deuces now we're getting the late stages you try and manage it with the hammers each team right now has two hammers [Music] for sweden this end they would love to get a blank both teams playing fantastic so it should be uh really good last few wins on that bronze medal game seventh end then schwartz this is his last without the hammer for switzerland they lead 4-3 sergei just went around with his first around that guard trying to come around to the back [Music] try but is there a little bit available for a tap for two well there certainly is it's not easy but it's available ryden's nice fight mine's great you need to go around really close do you need to go around uh yes hard oh you're not getting around you're not getting round glucose all right let's make this tap back he's got some key shots both sides in this game it's certainly a good example of wanting hammer and eight switzerland could have played a straight back would have got rid of the yellow rock but then the blank would have been on instead okay let's go around the back four let's make it tough we need to bump this just a little bit needs to finish trying to get that curl at the end chip it back roll away we'll just get the one but make sure they score 4-4 switzerland gets a force and we'll have that hammer playing in the eighth end or that yeah yeah even to the back of the forefoot now let's go back forward bite the back of the foot okay this one i'll just finish slightly better but you can probably give me i think 14 is perfect for us i think you've got too much pretty close keep a brush on it good line's good lots of room good finish while keeping the stone sliding so just off nose yellow across the face of the red knocks the yellow out it's frozen to it you might even see the redstone furthest in the house get ticked into the forefoot maybe even onto the shot stone just off notice [Music] off the top take it back that red side of the 12 foot really nice shot just off nose [Music] just hit that perfect yeah it didn't get quite as much of that back red to take it forward but it's still yeah it takes a few inches but not all the way back like halfway yeah okay put it like two stones higher than that and it's pretty good if we play now i think they're probably getting the blank yeah at least you said it earlier kevin they don't want to allow a blank in this seventh end and sweden would love it so good take too many risks all of a sudden you might give up three no double peel yellow across the top of the red and nick's hoping it'll come back and take the yellow out that's extremely different it's certainly there you can see yellow across top of the red no necklace does play a lot of pool himself he's very good at it actually [Music] catch the red send it back and just touches it over just had to actually sweep that a little bit it just had just the initial hit had to be a little bit thinner if that hangs out a little more and hits that across the face more you've got it you said it that's why this is such a difficult shot you have to hit it so precise as soon as it's off on that first one you know they wanted that back one too not happy just with a double peel they wanted to get the one in the rings oh the big problem is behind so now it's actually better probably see one peel i would think out of oscar before he plays the out turn the lefty out turn tap peel this one that that oscar out turn or nick intern tap is certainly there for three so peel this one and then maybe play it sit three could really open the game right up if uh scotland's still in the risk where they put well bruce knows the guard up right this will be interesting hitting the wide one i think he's here a lot of you just guard one more like the head wide one [Music] that's good bruce is certainly wise beyond his years so you hit this one then probably see probably sweden play that short run and get rid of shot and lie to that way where do they play patients probably hit and roll off this one that the ground's throwing yeah yeah i'm gonna see that okay keep the blank alive just about here it's good blue clean [Music] good job foreign [Applause] such a difficult shot but this probably brings that blank definitely yeah absolutely third of a rock that's oscar erickson's second shot very close make the double just underneath just need to sweep that a little bit more it would have had it just missed it by a fraction just goes underneath of it i think we have to try and roll here at big weight but okay you just roll here you're nice do you think we can play hack and get here can we just play a hack and get level you can almost yeah and it just freezes you in there well that's i'd rather be here and he has to can either play a double or hit and lower back okay so barrier then yeah ah can't play last week at 11 we're getting i just think if we're level he's just freezing us and we're probably forced anyway in freezes we did nothing it's a force yeah that's fine we're always thinking like here he also has to make the freeze freezes the harder shot i think for him problem is if your hair short pinch them all i'd like this come to three quarters okay bruce let's give it a good shot yep yep give it a good going anyway okay half donut hack like if it curls grant we just rolled edge of four i agree a wee bit further yeah yeah leaving it here is not awful bruce no hack yep yeah trying to get his level just a nice hike brush okay so what the heck right there they're trying to get this one further in the rings trying to get nicholas to have to play a freeze as opposed to a double trying to get level hear them say level so just hack weight and roll all the way to the side 12 foot good decision just curled a little bit too much and get one one crack at it yeah one goal and it's it's thin it's not easy it's about a quarter rock third rock something like that this will be uh i'll turn with lots of lots of weight quite a lot of spin on it keep it straight sweden's been trying to set up just to blank here in seven well scotland wants a force right now scotland lies too nicolas dean looking at this double takeout well playing it thin gotta make sure you make contact with that first one and won't get anything so no blank cause that one catches nothing but air playing it real thin don't see that too often from nicholas sadine wow no missed it by quite a margin too by lots like an inch wow scotland not expecting that one has to think okay well where am i going with this one yeah we can just touch that range yeah it's less than what you guys were getting for touching yourself that's okay fifteen again yeah fifteen that full suit the top four under the top four foot put some pressure on here okay you're a little nervous where's good no no no no you're heavy it's really good we're heavy okay it's gonna be narrow pretty close you're gonna be a little narrow we're top four just bite the four hammy just right in the forefoot you do a touch now could have been a little deeper it's good they're happy it's forced got got got what they wanted good end scotland got what they wanted achieve now needs to make sure he can get his team that single point give the hammer back to scotland a one point game so last of seven made a few this game already this one needs the four foot six a single point for sweden yeah i think so see you later whoa all right well the eighth end and you see the the lights shining on that world championship trophy setting center stage is this gold medal game sweden and scotland got everything we asked for so far in this uh world final and looks like it's going to come down a fun finish yeah it's going to come down to the to the inch which you hoped for absolutely excellent game two terrific teams lighting's really good yeah it's released yet hard boys get it close keep it going get it closed boys so 8th end of this game obviously we will see what's going on in the eighth end that bronze medal game final two stones are coming circuit glucos with his first meter solid hit roll now looking at a double on his last benoit tried to make a bump freeze to the face of the yellow stone beside the button but ended up bumping it right beside so an opportunity for a double here to sit so a mistake by rcf and opens the door now for benwash schwartz and switzerland get to the butt and get a second point just went down to have a good look around that button area just to see exactly where that had to be to fit how much room they had right to make sure he knew exactly what was going on so yeah very heads-up play well then schwartz we've seen him make some great draws they got into the playoffs of the sixth seed want to qualify her this morning against the usa taps their own too far had too much weight on it so just a single point for switzerland five four they lead rcf after eight ends the extra weight that's a surprise benoit hasn't missed many and just a little bit big not me that mistake may cost you up to date with that bronze medal game switzerland and that peter de cruz team looking for a fourth bronze medal the world opens up the forefoot but that one is in behind those staggered guards yeah they weren't staggered yep thick hat so trying to run the guard onto the redstone side eight foot [Music] i'm trying to run it at that one in the house and feathers beside it just gave it just a little kiss on the way by but not enough here can't get any closer watch it does touch it on the way by just so barely just says high and then goes right by you can hear the we tickle oh [Music] foreign short of the house takes away the race and there's no yellow red combination on to the side absolute perfect shot between seven eighths and three quarters almost okay i think they may be able to get that side red as well def very difficult normal yep gotta go too hard hard hard one quack scrub for bobby lambie trying to get that yellow to stick in the rings looks like it may be nice nice spins back to make sure it is in the house nice great great sweep oh sorry a little narrow okay the reason he's saying sorry and it's a terrific shot but would have liked to rolled the guard off center a little bit more to make this center guard more difficult for oscar erickson but still a very good shot end up having the yellow stay in the race [Music] same idea trying to get around the yellow just barely to take away the rays we talked about scotland earlier just communication both sides of how precise they can place those stones okay but then look at those numbers from thirds in this game grant hardy 95 ericsson for 89. yeah it's just huge numbers that's why they're in this game again exactly they're going to put up you hope that you put up those numbers to get to this point i mean if you make this it's probably gonna stick but agreed let's pick one just be a touch more weight and a little thicker right the same way it's close but okay well trying to do the same thing again yellow under red roll it into the rings setting up for any little mistake and all of a sudden maybe get a big end get normal clean whoa trying to get it cleaned up multiple results out of one stone roll that one in good job again opens that center up now has two in the twelve foot and a fairly easy double sitting there so throwing the guard this needs to be a good guard and otherwise three will certainly be on the table for scotland a really good guard here though and the force is certainly and if and you want to protect the side where the other red is on yes if yes if you're going to miss it by a little bit miss it that way yeah don't give the the devil available [Music] definitely [Music] that's right this is definitely makeable okay boys i'm thinking is we've ripped that one okay i don't think you're killing the point yeah you make that too we've left that it's pretty lonely a guard lonely stone to guard would you like i think it calls we're not blessed you can chase at the back line but good with this you know if you just sit the edge on edge here you've maybe got the double wheel last wait just gotta make it enough to kill it have a look it's tough yeah all right let's go for this one oh you wanna just pick this one thanks okay half's going to be close yep the way double i'll do it yeah peel it pick it away run back like this get rid of the center guard and get rid of the side rock and then go okay nick i think a good one but we can't make a double half will be close yeah yep close 80 percent 79. well trying to give this one a chance to peel it misses it still one two for sweden okay okay bruce a little less pressure for nicodem now you can put the guard back in about the same spot and oh yes [Music] takes away that double side broom down already for bruce to draw the forefoot no choice at all sixteen one five in his guard there absolutely okay like the ice yep yep here more heard the comment not blessed with a a pile of times six and a half minutes for the final ends for both these teams they do have their one timeout draw the forefoot over there whatever mine's okay tie this game up with two ends remaining so you're right here heavy line's gonna be good clean if you can come down coming down bob yeah should be fine coming down we're good now it came right down when it took the crawl right to the t line so a single point sweden gets another fours scotland makes the draw five five after eight ends of play hi [Music] okay we're sitting here [Music] is christmas oh [Music] internship well the gold medal game the bkt tires and okay tire world men's curling championship 20 21. one of these two will be lifting that trophy following this game in sweden trying to do it for the third straight world championship park scotland looking to do it for the first time since 2009 the first time for bruce and bruce company this whole game has been back and forth back and forth right now sweden with the hammer in this ninth inn the round robin game was a six five sweden win oh well you see that the hardware the trophy out on the ice hard for the players to walk by after shots and not see it pretty narrow times sweden has hoisted the trophy five times for scotland come on come on scotland trying to force sweden a blank would be great for sweden or multiple points don't want to score one yeah not really no but we have seen a lot of uh back and forth just those two multiple scores early in the game yeah both teams playing so well with all the shots being made it's tough to get multiple scores so scoring this ends big for well the two guards are in play that's probably good yeah 14. perfect go through it right before we just get it easy easy line's great close it's good way hard bend legs good yeah hard lines mine's good trying to go around everything to the back four foot kept putting his head down and kept [Applause] [Music] working a little bit of angle on the two guards here the double peel is is available [Music] just got enough of that to move it off great shot what regarding i think you're guarding in between like just put a guard up for now all right let's do this the yellow guard the yellow guard deal okay guard deal straight guard deal yeah yeah see them just clip that yellow one with that speed and now that yellow is vulnerable for both the the rays of the reds and the directions this is not moving very fast i don't know if this is going to make the hog line no way bobby comes up well short in a hog stone here's [Music] try to keep all three reds in the house [Music] the second red will drag they act as if it's one rock so hitting and rolling to the side the two rocks will go together looks pretty good wants to save the shooter shooter rolls off to the side and will it right absolutely but now i don't want to just give the free uh free blank so try and have this curl a little bit you see the drag that was quite easy to make now try to hold the shooter to sit three [Music] foreign leave the pocket you know where the next rock's going to go with oscar erickson throwing that one we look [Music] through the port i believe a bump a race through the port wow trying to get that extra point in this ninth end of the bronze medal game [Music] [Music] just through the house i don't know what scotland would do then it's it's uh scary a lonely one in there if this bump is made properly it's not easy it must be very close to the nose just through the house weight [Music] sets up another pocket though pretty good chance for scotland here trying to hit this right on the nose and this is curling too far well just a question i don't know but if we just do this and he knows he's this we've maybe not got him a lot so let's sit right in the pocket here maybe men and then what guard right there is still nice no you could hit and roll today yeah don't mind that actually do you like i think you want to try and sit inside of the red another one yeah this is almost helping us actually if we're here yeah okay let's just freeze it to this evening okay here not much okay just right you don't want him never come off this yellow and push it what if you don't sit yeah surely he's just coming off the other yellow and push it out i'm worried he knows he's this freeze the pocket then i think so yeah that's what i like by not hitting that right on the nose oscar allows bruce to freeze into another pocket same as that last draw yeah well the way these guys have been going you just expect this to be put in a great spot oh maybe you're here late but go through it mine's great all right we're ready i'll be short then mine's good mine's great take it right into the pocket a little so nick trying to hit this right in front of it that yellow is not going anywhere it's got nowhere to squeeze through no place and if you stay on the nose probably can puts pressure back to scotland yeah well i don't know what you do if you try to guard but dangerous to guard trick is the nose i actually pushes that one out yeah yellow kicked off a bit more than i thought it might pretty good result though probably you know well ninth end tie game timeout time i think we've just got to play that knuckle us down here and take your chances i think he's pissed [Music] of course the national coach of this uh scottish programme you never go there yeah such a tough shot but yeah lighten them up you're literally drawn to a millimeter no you maybe have to do you it's never possible to get like around the rounds in here and be second is it in this way no no just can't squeak down you know how many suggested actually trying to draw right to here and line these up leave these lines because otherwise we're probably just trying to play this at like back line checking here i just hope this comes enough to hear yeah obviously it's going to have it over top he's just having this i know i mean yeah you're drawn to there aren't you again if you do sit here nothing shall is it here what's he got got this for two points beyond here yeah i think they're looking at this intern what'd you like dave this and turn around in line yeah yeah i think boys just got to put it perfectly you put it perfectly right in there piece under yep put two inches talk to you i think you're almost on the tailing on the button yeah i think so perfectly on the button yep so hook just around that one and make the red the rock bruce is throwing and the yellow in the back four in an exact perfect line because you've got one of the best hitters well probably to ever play our sport same weight risk with the others okay nicholas and nothing out front to hide behind there's everything in the rings edubate this has to be incredibly perfect [Music] well you know it's an important end and pressure's been put on didn't want to give the blank but didn't want to give the big end now precision needed from bruce mallett go then line's good mine's great sure puppy thunder you have to go down there's nothing extra here you see over 15 seconds hog to hog get it keep going keep going as far as you as far as you can okay bruce good sweet boys well big scrub to get it to that point do you take on that double uh tap for two three sorry tap for two or three it's a tough tap to hold for for three it's probably just for two obviously the straight backs for millions foreign don't think it was even looked at really many other things other than which way we want to make this double right this will have some pace on it throwing right near the nose and then it's really up to oscar to hit it just off one way or the other basically nick will just fire it right at it and oscar decides this good chance to determine the world champ in 2021 well an extra second in the hack for nicholas a dean ninth end has a double takeout [Music] and there it is for five the double for nicholas adeen thank you and that is the game that's the world championship a double for five and world championship number five that's fitting great shot perfect throw what an end and what a way to finish this one bruce knew he needed to take some risks didn't work out and the double for nicholas sadine that's three straight world titles on this double takeout oh oh foreign so nothing in the center here lots of yellow of course around the corners so trying to throw a corner freeze trying to make a difficult shot for rcf on his last trying to stay short no choice has to try to go around a little bit around that red stone could get almost into the forefoot though if this is made perfect just great shot that is shot stoned so it is now an out-turn draw to the forefoot for bronze what a lovely shot come around it's almost completely buried around a rock in the top eight excellent the last stone here the bronze game a draw [Music] great draw terrific game terrific bronze medal game right down to the wire [Music] easy well terrific terrific games out here this evening both the goal game and the finish of the bronze game right down to the last inch and a terrific draw right to the button by ben schwartz ah this side take this i mean coach harvard good finish to a terrific week for team switzerland peter to cruise and a fantastic week sergey glukov terrific player we're going to get to joy many many of his games over the next many years certainly one of the stars of this world championship grant hardy it's always tough if you get into that gold game and not able to win it but took some chances in nine pretty much had to but nicholas congratulations uh what a game obviously uh to cap it off with that shot in h what were you thinking there i was thinking a lot it was obviously it's a it's a shot that i normally would have a good chance at but in this situation it's a little bit different and i kind of knew it would run straight so i kind of had to figure out how i wanted to play it and we had a really similar shot against switzerland in the semis so uh yeah really happy when that hit the second rock down in the house and uh yeah and now obviously you're you're joining a class of your own a fifth world championship for you three straight no no team has ever won three straight out of the world what does that mean to this squad oh it means the world uh obviously we've uh we've had a good run the last few years but with this year break and maybe with the olympic final loss as well we've kind of like put more pressure on ourselves we really really want to win that olympic gold and i think this was a huge step towards that and i really feel that we can still still do our very best at these kind of events and perform when it matters and obviously a difficult week but uh the the different circumstances coming in you guys still come out and play well in this last day you have to be happy with your team oh super happy i think we we do a really really good performance here especially in the playoff games i think uh might have struggled a little bit in the beginning but i think the key was to really communicate around that and really make sure we we dial in so that we could make a really good second half and i think we did just that congratulations nicholas well done thank you so much so bruce obviously disappointing losing that one in the ninth end you guys knew you couldn't go for a blank or is the thought process late in that end uh yeah we had to kind of force that a bit and had a few misses in the end which didn't really help us but they made all theirs which obviously helped them so um yeah we i don't know it's tough to look back on it right now maybe in a couple of couple days or weeks or maybe be able to look back on it in a different way but yeah it's pretty tough right now and you do go with the silver medal a well played week you guys had a fantastic week now you get to this tough to look back on but how do you feel your team played this week uh yeah there was a lot of pressure this week um for multiple reasons um we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to try and get this far and um yeah we played so well to get here and it's as i said it's quite hard to look back on it right now but i'm sure it'll feel good in a couple of days hopefully that we've we've beaten our own record of a bronze medal well congratulations on the silver medal bruce thank you cheers well bruce maui and his team silver medalists they'll head out they'll get the hardware the silver medals a tough one to take at this point but one you look back on and they have improved upon their bronze medal from 2018 switzerland again with that bronze medal number four for them keep trying keep trying and they still stuck on that bronze level and hopefully to break through one of these days you know they're definitely ready to climb up that podium a little bit higher no question about that one in a week when it was sort of ups and downs but they made shots when it mattered and played some some great games getting in with the last round-robin session so it was a battle to get there and then of course nicolas sadine and team sweden winning again a great shot in that ninth end to to cap it off it was one heck of a final one well played game from both sides yeah tremendous momentum from about halfway through the week till now what do you say about that this team is amazing and amazing again this week and in this final kept control of the situation and then huge shot in nine yeah and like we said kind of fitting to make a double for five to win your fifth title [Music] as a custom two and that walk down the sheets as world champions this is the fourth time of the

eight getting that hammer in nine scotland knowing they didn't want to blank took some chances and uh and nick just made a gorgeous double so let's look at the highlights from this gold medal game in the seventh end nicolas sadine was trying he flashed actually on his first so he had put pressure on himself with this last shot now and needed to be in the four foot circle had a little bit of backing didn't want to use it and uh but the weights absolutely perfect coming in no line trouble right on the button so a single point there and then right into the eighth nikola sadine and his team controlling put the pressure on had to make a perfect guard forcing this for bruce mallett yes if the guard was missed at all there could have been a double for three and really broke this game open for scotland but made the guard perfectly draw into the four foot circle but that was a force to tie the game and then in nine obviously the game shot pressure on yeah nicodeen throwing this with lots of pace trying to be just off the nose and look at this [Applause] [Music] just needed to make contact with that one and that would be enough that is the world championship winning shot right there for nicolas sedin so what a day it's been here for melissa seligo jill officer mike harris kevin martin myself lukoli our entire crew thanks for watching from calgary in the bkt tires and ok tire
