ROOT, ROOT, ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAM
In women’s curling, South Korea beat Japan 8-7 in an intense semifinal game that went to the 11th end. South Korea skip Kim Eun-jung made a perfect shot with the hammer that stopped right on the button to clinch the victory. The South Koreans — who shared a jubilant hug in front of a roaring crowd after the shot — will face Sweden for gold on Sunday. Sweden beat Britain 10-5 in the other semifinal game.
