21.52: That’s all for today from Oestersund. Thanks for following us and have a nice evening!
21.51: A triumphal day thus ends for the Azzurri with successes against Norway first and then Sweden! Tomorrow the Italian team will face Denmark at 14.00
21.50: There was suffering until the end but a beautiful Italy, with just one moment of blackout in the ninth end, defeated Sweden 8-7, which, it must be said, is less scary without Edin. An important step forward for the Azzurri towards the possible semi-final!
21.48: YESIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! ERIKSSON’S RIGHTEOUS PICK FAILS AND ITALY BEATS THE OLYMPIC AND WORLD CHAMPIONS AND THE SWEDISH HOUSEHOLDERS!!! 8-7 FOR THE AZZURRI!
21.47: Central Guard also for Italy. Last shot for the Swedes
21.43: The last 4 shots are missing, blue stone in the point, Swedish stone supported, another blue stone in the house. Let’s see Eriksson’s choice
21.42: The Swedes continue to place the central guard but Italy manages to fail
21.40: The Azzurri eliminate the Swedish central guard
21.38: Very high voltage! Italy has a great opportunity! Two blue stone to point after four shots of the last end
21.35: The three Swedish points arrive. It wasn’t easy but Eriksson found the right angle to eliminate the blue guard stone and also the point stone. All to be redone but with a favorable hand for Italy in the final end
21.33: Stone blue point but Eriksson with a not easy rejection could give the Swedes a draw before the last end
21.32: Two well-covered Swedish stones when the last two shots are missing. We need the umpteenth magic of Retornaz to avoid the 0-3
21.26: Swedish Stone points after ten shots
21.21: Two blue stones to point after six shots of the ninth end
21.17: The umpteenth magic fails in Retornaz who wins only one point for Italy but in these conditions we can be satisfied! 7-4 for the Azzurri with two ends to go
21.16: The rejection of the Swedes who set the stone covered by the blue stone. It takes a very precise rejection for the double blue point
21.15: RETURN!!! Another great double rejected by the blue that frees the house from the Swedish stones and places two blue stones in the point when there are two shots left at the end of the eighth end
21.12: A blue stone for a point and two in the house when the last 4 shots are missing
21.08: A blue stone to point after six shots of the eighth end
21.03: I specify Eriksson who takes the point but Sweden after 7 ends must chase the Azzurri: 6-4 for Italy which is now back in hand
21.02: Retornaz opts for the guard to cover the two stones at the point, now Eriksson can look for the point or try to cancel the end but it’s not easy
21.00: Eriksson eliminates the guard, Italy can place the third stone for a point or look for the guard, then Sweden will be able to win a point at most
20.58: A blue stone at the point when there are 4 shots left at the end
20.56: three blue stones to point after 9 shots of the seventh end
20.52: Two blue stones to point after 5 shots of the seventh end
20.48: NOT WRONG RETURN! Two more points for Italy which returns to +3: 6-3 for the Azzurri!
20.47: ERIKSSON’S MISTAKE THAT GOES TO HIT THE BLUE GUARD COULD GIVE ITALY TWO POINTS! All in the hands of Retornaz!
20.45: When there are two shots left at the end, a Swedish stone scores points
20.41: After 7 shots one more blue stone to point. Powerful central guard of the Swedes
20.38: Two blue stone to point after 4 shots of the sixth end
20.32: The two Swedish points arrive but Italy has limited the damage and closes the first part of the match ahead 4-3
20.30: Retornaz promptly redeems himself and makes the Azzurri breathe a sigh of relief! Double rejection of the Italian skip and at most Sweden will be able to win two points
20.28: First mistake by Retornaz which could cost Italy dearly. Three Swedish points could also arrive in this end
20.26: Two Swedish stones at the point when the last four shots are missing
20.22: Always Italy at the point with two stones in the house after 8 shots of the fifth end
20.17: Italy at the point after the first 4 shots of the fifth end
20.14: STILL ONE ERROR BY ERIKSSON! ANOTHER HAND STOLEN BY THE AZZURRI! The stone does not reach the desired point and Italy is ahead 4-1 after 4 ends!
20.13: retornaz promotes the central guard and removes the Swedish stone. Now Eriksson will have to try to take the point
20.11: Sweden places the stone in the center of the house when the last two shots are missing
20.09: Sweden at the point when the last 4 shots are missing
20.07: After 9 shots, another blue stone in the house
20.03: Two blue stones to point after 4 shots of the fourth end
19.59: The miracle in Retornaz fails but Italy still wins 2 points in the third end and flies to 3-1 against Sweden!
19.57: Sweden opts for damage limitation and puts up a central guard. Let’s see what Retornaz can invent to give as many points as possible to Italy who could score one or two but if he managed to remove a yellow stone from the center of the house he could score many more
19.55: Last two shots of the third end. There is a blue dot stone
19.52: An inspired Mosaner fails two Swedish stones and now there is only one yellow stone in the house, with the Italian stone at the point. 4 shots left
19.51: A blue stone at the point, many stones in the house, 5 shots at the end of the end
19.46: Heavy traffic in the house. There are two blue stones in point when the last 7 shots of the end are missing
19.42: Italy at the point after 5 shots from the third end.
19.36: The Swede is not wrong this time, he takes the point and signs the draw: 1-1
19.35: Two more blue stones to the point when Eriksson’s last shot is missing
19.32: Retornaz places the second stone at the point when there are three shots left at the end
19.28: Sweden unhinges the blue guard after 8 shots
19.26: Italy responds with a central guard
19.25: Stone blue point after 4 shots, left guard for Sweden
19.22: Serious mistake of the Swedish skip who tries a double reject but fails to remove the blue stone from the point and therefore a STOLEN HAND from Italy: 1-0 for the Azzurri
19.18: Retornaz’s first shot is good, placing the blue stone on the point, the Swedes remove the blue central guard. The last two shots are missing
19.12: There are three Swedish stones at the point after 8 shots
19.09: A Swedish stone at the point after 5 shots
