The curling ladies to the semifinals - Canada appeared to touch the rock

Team Anna Hasselborg has advanced to the semifinals of Olympic curling, despite losing 6–8 to Canada. Canada appeared to touch the stone illegally - again.

In TT's pictures from the match, it appears Canada's captain Rachel Homan is touching the granite as she releases the stone. It's exactly what sparked the cheating controversy between the Swedish men's team skipped by Niklas Edin and Canada.

But Team Hasselborg never protested during the match.

We're not quite at the level we've played before, we're not quite reading the ice as well as we have before, and we had some great chances to close the game there, Anna Hasselborg told TV4.

Sweden tops the table with six wins and one loss and is through to the semifinals with two rounds remaining.
