Swedish setback as Team Hasselborg outclassed by South Korea

Team Hasselborg is already through to the semifinals in Olympic curling - and perhaps relaxed because of that. The team's second loss of the championship came against South Korea, by a whopping 3-8.

After four rounds, Sweden trailed 0–8. The next three rounds produced three points for Sweden, cutting the score to 3–8 with three rounds remaining. But Team Hasselborg conceded the match after the seventh round.

This is Sweden's second loss in eight matches. They face China tonight.

After that match, it will be clear which team Team Hasselborg will face in the semi-finals. The first-place team in the group stage will meet the fourth-place team and the second-place team will meet the third-place team.

Sweden continues to top the group with six wins.
