Latest update on the Olympic curling qualifiers: China lost 5-6 to Australia in the final round. After the round-robin, China finished with six wins and one loss, making qualification highly unlikely.

In the eighth end, China’s final shot was a mistake, causing them to concede early and lose 5-6 to Australia, which basically ended their hopes of advancing.

The Chinese team began with a strong performance, winning six straight and ranking first. However, after just losing to Australia, their position fell below both Australia and the Netherlands. For a chance to advance to the playoffs, they must rely on New Zealand defeating the Netherlands, which is almost impossible. Therefore, their qualification hopes are effectively dashed. It’s a pity they started well but ended poorly.
