China's women's curling team delivered edge-of-your-seat action at the 2024 World Women's Curling Championship in Uijeongbu, South Korea, splitting two intense matches on Tuesday. The squad now holds a 3-3 record, keeping fans glued to their screens – or stones, in this case! 😅
🇨🇳 vs. Italy: A Stone-Cold Thriller
The match against Italy started slow but exploded into a high-stakes showdown. After falling behind early, China rallied with a 4-point burst, only for Italy to claw back repeatedly. Tied 7-7 in the final end, skip Wang Rui became the hero with a laser-precise shot to the “button” (the target's center) for the 8-7 win. Cue the crowd roar! 🎉
🇳🇴 Norway Clips China's Comeback
The second match saw Norway grab an early lead, but China fought like Olympic-level warriors to tie it 8-8 by the ninth end. Sadly, Norway stole the victory with a final-point steal – proof that in curling, every millimeter matters. 🤏
With three wins and losses each, China remains in playoff contention. Next up? More stone-sliding suspense as the round-robin continues!
