It's really interesting listening to the Chinese curling team speak English. Germany almost made it really close in the 10th end, but China moves to 4-0.
So in the Men's competition:
1) China, 4-0
2) Norway, 3-0
T3) Great Britain, 3-1
T3) Sweden, 3-1
T5) Canada, 2-2
T5) Denmark, 2-2
Canada still has to play three of the four teams in front of them, and they play Denmark tomorrow.

China had a really easy start to the competition - they'll drop back with four of their last five against Jacobs (Canada), Murdoch (Britain), Edin (Sweden) and Ulsrud (Norway).
Denmark should also fall back. Switzerland at 1-3 will likely make a run at the playoffs as well - they've already played Canada, Great Britain and Sweden so they have easier games left.
Canada has two tougher games left against Murdoch and Ulrsud which they'll have to be playing well for. The other three they should handle pretty easily.
On the womens side Jones looks unstoppable. They've already beaten the other medal favorites. Ott (Switzerland) is also a contender but they started 3-0 mostly because they haven't played anybody good yet. I expect Canada to finish the round-robin in first with Sweden and Great Britain making the playoffs along with either Switzerland or China.
