Ten draws are complete at the Ford World Women's Curling Championships in Swift Current.


Scotland cruised to another blowout win, beating Latvia 10-1 after six ends, China got their third win beating Japan 11-6 after nine ends, Russia beat Germany 7-4, and the USA beat Denmark 6-5.

Team Canada is coming off a big 9-6 win over Denmark this morning to stay undefeated.  They face Erika Brown and Team USA in Draw 11 tonight.

Canada and the US have big rivalries in various sports, and curling is very well one of them.  The sport is still relatively obscure in the States, but it is growing in popularity,  Brown says the Vancouver Olympics last month may bring some American eyes to this event, since the sport seems to come back in the spotlight in the States during Olympic years.

 

That match is on at 7:30pm tonight at the Credit Union iplex.  Latvia plays Norway, Japan faces Switzerland, and Russia battles Sweden in the other Draw 11 games.
