China enters men's curling final at Asian Winter Games

Xinhua, February 22, 2017 Adjust font size:

China beat Chinese Taipei 8-1 to make the final of the men's curling at the Asian Winter Games here on Wednesday, setting a clash with hosts Japan after a six-game winning streak.

China's Canadian coach Marcel Rocque was satisfied with the result.

"I am happy we can prepare for the final now, and we have a chance to win the gold," he said. "We pushed them hard in the second half and forced them to make mistakes. In curling, even one tiny mistake may change the total situation."

In the other semifinal, Japan edged defending champion South Korea 6-5 to reach the final. South Korea will meet Chinese Taipei for bronze on Thursday. Endit
