There was excitement until the end when the Danish women's curling team took their second victory at this year's Olympics on Saturday evening by beating South Korea 6-3.
This means that skipper Madeleine Dupont, as well as Mathilde Halse, Jasmin Holtermann, and Denise Dupont, still have a good chance of competing for the four semi-final spots.
Like South Korea, the Danes have two wins and two defeats in a group with ten teams.
The match had an even and low-scoring start with both teams playing at a high level. The vast majority of stones were delivered with great precision, and neither team left each other openings to get many points on the board.
At the break halfway through, after five ends, the score was 2-2.
In the sixth end, Denmark was under pressure. South Korea were three points ahead before skipper Madeleine Dupont had to place the last stone. She resisted the pressure and placed the last stone right in the center of the house, securing a 3-2 lead instead of 2-5.
This gave the Danes added momentum, and in the seventh end, small mistakes crept into the South Korean game. Denmark took advantage of this and stole a point to lead 4-2.
Denmark limited South Korea to a single point in the eighth end, and thus the Danes went into the penultimate end ahead 4-3 and with the opportunity to place the last stone.
Again, skipper Madeleine Dupont managed to secure a point with the last stone to add pressure on the South Koreans before the final end.
The South Korean skipper had to deliver a miracle stone at the very end, and gambled heavily to get the two required points. She failed, and so Denmark finally won 6-3 in an otherwise very even affair.
