Japan’s Loco Solare in 3rd place (4 wins and 3 losses) defeated the United States and took the lead in the semi-finals.
From the point of struggle during the two consecutive losses, he won a close battle with the opponent who had won 3 wins in the past 3 races with 10-7, and increased the winning stars with 5 wins and 3 losses.
After the match against Britain on the 15th, Satsuki Fujisawa of Skip said.
“Since it was ice cream that sweeps well, I have to play a match that makes use of it from tomorrow onwards.”
Sweep adjusts the distance and bending width by sweeping the ice with a brush after throwing a stone. Rub the bumps on the ice with a brush to reduce friction and move the stones.
The habit of ice that I felt foresaw the key to victory in the remaining two races.
The match against the United States. The voice of “Nice sweep!” Echoed many times. I weakened the throwing power a little and threw it with the belief that two people who sweep could increase the distance.
Yurika Yoshida, the lead, and Yumi Suzuki, the second. They are called “Crazy Sweepers” with respect overseas.
The length of a sweep in one game is about 2 kilometers. Endurance requires strength. While there are many big players in the lead and second of other countries, Yurika Yoshida is 152 cm and Suzuki is 146 cm, which is considerably smaller than the average in Japan. However, its sweeping power is outstanding.
At the 4th end of the day, Fujisawa made a difficult final shot and desperately moved the brush. If he missed a few centimeters, he was able to make a solid contribution to scoring two points in a situation where there was a danger of steel, and he was calling for a flow of 6-2.
The rest is against Switzerland on the 17th. If you win, your strength will determine your advance to the semi-finals. I saw medals for two consecutive tournaments.
