The women's curling team defeated Japan yesterday (14th) and saved hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals.
Our players sent the stones exactly where they wanted them to go, and Japan, under that momentum, made mistakes and collapsed.
First of all, this is reporter Bae Jeong-hoon.
<Reporter> The
atmosphere must have subsided, but the team Kim players vowed to turn around with a delightful ceremony and pushed Japan, which had been running for four consecutive victories.
In the 3rd end, which was behind 2-1, the second Kim Young-mi removed three red stones at once, and then captain Kim Eun-jung used the opponent's stones to remove the stones below the target, drawing a large number of 3 points and turning it around.
While Japan's captain Fujisawa was shaken up by a series of mistakes, Tim Kim nailed it in the 7th end.
After Kim Kyung-ae, the 3rd, pulled out the opponent’s stones into the narrow gap between our yellow stones and cleaned up the target, Kim Eun-jung ran away by 4 points with an elaborate shot that picked out only the opponent’s red stones.
[Jeong Seok-moon/Caster: Was there that angle?
That's something Pythagoras would cry, too.]
Kim Eun-jung, who had a shot success rate of 75% in the morning against the United States, raised it to 90% in the Japanese match, leading to a 10-5 victory.
[ Kim
Eun-jung/Captain of the women's curling team: Japan is not an easy opponent, it is also a burdensome opponent, I have a strong desire to win, and I wanted to win unconditionally because I was knocked down twice in the previous tournament.]
Tomorrow (16th) morning, after leading Switzerland, in the evening, we will challenge Denmark for a straight win.
