exactly STEVETOMS is right. All she had to do was peel every Sweden stone off the playing surface after Canada had 3 in the house and Sweden had 1. Canada had 3 shots remaining. Sweden had to score 2 in the 10th end. Bernard was over confident that thought she could out curl the Swede skip. Also Canada's 2nd made too many errors in the final game.
Bernard blew the Gold in the 10th and extra end. It was on a platter. Earlier in the tournament she was faced with the same situation but the opposition shot was too heavy and Bernard won by luck.
All in all they have a Silver medal which is no small accomplishment.
