GANGNEUNG, South Korea, Feb 16 : Defending gold medallists Canada were in danger of crashing out of the Olympic women’s curling tournament after a shock 9-8 extra-end loss to Denmark on Friday left them without a win through three rounds.
Holding the hammer the Canadian world champions had looked poised to secure a victory only to watch skip Rachel Homan’s last rock wreck on a guard in the 11th end as Madeleine Dupont’s Danish foursome looked on stunned by their good fortune picking up a first win.
“We can play a little looser now because we came in as team number 10 (of 10),” said Denmark second Julie Hogh.
“If we could get one win we would be really happy, and now we have it.
“So of course we’re going to move forward and take one day at a time, but we can play a little loose now because we have the win we really, really wanted.
