Curling finally comes to a close on Friday, to the dismay of many Olympic fans. Fortunately, things should end with a bang when the men’s medal rounds take place.
The bronze medal game features China and Sweden at 3:30 a.m. ET. The Chinese finished third in round robin play and were then bounced by Canada, 10-6. They are still looking for their first curling medal in Olympic history. The Swedes had the best round robin record at 8-1, but they were upset by Great Britain in the semis.
Speaking of Great Britain, their unlikely run continues when they take on the Canadian juggernauts. The Brits scored a memorable 6-5 win over Norway in the tiebreaker round, and they kept things up with another 6-5 nail-biter over Sweden in the semis. Canada is a formidable opponent, having won two gold medals in a row, but Great Britain hope to have a little magic left in them for the final round.
Here’s the complete schedule (all times ET).
3:30 a.m. - Bronze medal round, China vs. Sweden
8:30 a.m. - Gold medal round, Canada vs. Great Britain
