Norway has hammer in 10, 4-4 against Sweden. Edin missed a double for 4 and only got 1 in the 9th. A Norwegian win would be good here.
Watching on CBCOlympics. The lady doing the commentating has a delightful Scottish voice, and is teaching the game like it's Curling 101.

Canada's De Bruin laid down an almost perfect second run in monobob. It was beautiful.

Christine de Bruin sitting in Silver Medal position after the first two runs of Women's Monobob, picking up the slack for her teammate.

Former Canadian Kaillie Humphries is MILES ahead in first for USA

It is a battle for 2nd in Monobob but that was a huge run for De Bruin. From tie for 3rd to 2nd is best you could hope for after that run.

Sweden wins. I don't think a Norwegian win would have helped much. Sweden is running away with the round robin, this is a battle for the other 3 playoff spots.

And yeah, I love that announcer, She is also on the Peacock feed. Seems I've heard her before and much prefer her to the Kevin Martin feed on the USA-Canada feed.

It's a must win for Jones tonight which sucks so soon in the tournament. Can't go to 1-3.

Jones with a miss on her final stone, resulting in a steal of 1 for Switzerland.

Down 2-0 heading into the 3rd End. This is as close to a must-win as it gets.

The Swiss look fantastic. Jones is in real tough, I don't have a very good feeling. That second end felt like the Swiss were in utter control both from shotmaking and a shot calling perspective.

I was curious about how they converted the Water Cube into the Ice Cube and found this video...

I thought it was interesting.

Doesn't help when you're losing the pre-game draw seemingly every single match

That just might by symptomatic of not having their best stuff.

Yeah that was big. Could have gone down 3.

I hope this gives them confidence to bring this one home. They are playing a great team, might really propel them.

Odds are on Canada's side here heading into the final 3 Ends...

Pull through, and they'll be riding high with momentum after giving Switzerland their first loss

Shocking, horrible miss by Jones gives Switzlerand an insane chance at a steal.

Jones NEEDS to clutch up now to redeem herself
