Looks like Switzerland is about to grab 2 and tie it up, but lose the hammer for the 10th end.

Nope, pretty disastrous. They only got a single, and now Canada leads by 1 and has the hammer in the final end.

Is 10 not the final end? or are you expecting Can to just blank the 9th to carry the hammer to the 10th?

Crap, was I getting ahead of myself? I thought this was the 10th. Watching in a tiny little screen.

But that opens the questions: if you had the chance (and it looks like they do) would you take a chance at grabbing 2 and going into the final end with a 3-point lead? I don't think anyone would want to give up last rock for a single point (2-point lead), but for 2?

Looks like the choice is to let Switzerland steal one or try to go for 2. Very interesting. And, yes, I know it's curling.

Damn, she missed 2 by a sliver (they're calling for a measure but I don't think it'll go their way).

Didnt get 2. But on the brightside, the Swiss havent scored more then 1 in any end

I refuse to watch curling after what they did to Ernie Afaganis.

Difficult shot coming up for the Swiss, but if they make it they could make it very difficult for the Canadians to only give up 1.

Uh-oh. She made the shot. Don't see what the Canadians can do now except go into extra ends with the hammer.

Nice, nice shot! But the Swiss can still steal 2 and tie it up.

OMG, what a finish. The Swiss blew it on the last rock. They cleared the Canadian rock but rolled off it and out, taking only a single point.

So who's up next? Was that for gold?
