As a result, Japan will play off and play against South Korea in the decisive match on the 17th to participate in the Olympic Games.
On the 16th, the final round of the Beijing Olympics World Final Qualifying for Curling held in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, was held in the final round of the qualifying league where 9 teams will play round, and the Japanese women's representative Loco Solare played against Turkey.
If Japan wins, it will be decided to participate in the Olympics in 1st place in the qualifying league, but in the first half, it was not possible to attack and it was a development that allowed a lead of 1 to 2.
In the second half, it turned into a fierce battle for points, and when Japan scored 2 points in the 6th end and turned around, the following 7th end was robbed of 3 points.
Then, in the final 10th end, which was tied at 5 to 5, the last shot was decided by Turkey, who had an advantageous second attack, and lost 5 to 8.
As a result, Japan missed the 1st place in the qualifying league, which is unconditionally decided to participate in the Olympic Games, and went to the playoffs to play against South Korea in the final match on the 17th.
Loco Solare's skip, Satsuki Fujisawa, said, "I should have attacked in the first half, but I wasn't able to attack because it was a difficult ice cream, and I didn't want to let the opponent make a chance with a slight deviation." I bleed my regret.
For the next decisive battle with South Korea, which will take part in the Beijing Olympics, he changed his mind, saying, "The team is keeping their concentration, so I want to communicate a little more and connect to a shot that can be matched well with any ice cream." I did.
