Great Britain triumphs with the title in the Women’s Curling Tournament at Beijing 2022

Great Britain, led by Eve Muirhead, triumphs with the title in the Olympic Women’s Curling Tournament at the Beijing 2022 Games.

In the final, the British beat Japan by 10-3 points after nine ends and for the second time in their history won gold after Salt Lake City 2002.

The key to the victory of the two-time world and three-time European champions was the seventh end, in which they scored four points and took the lead with 8-2.

The reigning Asian champion, Japan, achieved its best ranking at the Winter Games. So far, the Japanese have won only one Olympic medal in women’s curling – bronze from PyeongChang 2018.

Third place went to the defending team from Sweden four years ago, which yesterday defeated the world champion Switzerland with 9-7 points in the small final.
