Swedish mixed doubles curlers to face Great Britain in Olympic semifinals

It will be the toughest possible opposition for Rasmus and Isabella Wranå in tonight's Olympic semi-final. Great Britain, which has impressed more than any other team so far, awaits the Swedes.

At 18:05 it's time for the Olympic mixed doubles curling semifinals. The Wranå siblings will face Great Britain’s duo Jennifer Dodds and Bruce Mouat, who won the group stage with eight wins and one loss.

Sweden could have faced second-place USA instead, but the USA narrowly lost their last match to Italy on Monday morning (6–7), which meant Italy edged into third place ahead of Sweden, who finished fourth in the group stage.

When Sweden and Great Britain met last Friday, Sweden suffered a 4–7 loss.

A rematch tonight would secure Sweden's third medal so far at the Milan-Cortina Olympics.
