With one week remaining before the semifinals begin, Men’s Curling at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia continues to rise in entertainment as each of the 10 international teams look to solidify their status near the top of the standings. China, Norway and Sweden are all off to unblemished starts with each team posting 3-0 records but competitors in Great Britain (3-1 overall), Canada (2-2), Denmark (1-2) and the United States (1-2) still have time to improve their positioning. Heading into the 2014 Winter Games, Canada, Great Britain and Sweden were ranked as the top three Men’s Curling teams in the world but early on, Canada has struggled to find consistency.
Sweden will look to continue their hot start Thursday against undefeated Norway in the sixth round robin session on the men’s side while the Swiss National squad battles a winless Russian group, Team USA takes on Great Britain and Canada squares off against Denmark. China – who will play again Friday after earning a 5-4 victory over Switzerland Wednesday – currently paces all international teams with a perfect 4-0 record. Earning victories over Switzerland, the United States, Denmark and Germany, coach Marcel Rocque and company look very strong moving further along in qualifying.
