South Korea 8, Denmark 7
South Korea, the reigning Olympic silver medalists, got the win it needed Wednesday. In an 8-7 defeat of Denmark, the Korean team improved to 4-4 to keep the hopes of moving on to the medal round alive.
Denmark seemed to be in control of the game late. Trailing 3-2, Denmark took the lead in the fifth after Madeleine DuPont landed the hammer stone behind two Korean guards to put three on the board and give her team a 2-point lead at the half.
After South Korea scored two in the sixth, in the seventh DuPont landed her hammer throw directly on the button in front of a Korean stone to give Denmark one point and the lead again, 6-5.
Tied again after eight, South Korea got a triple takeout on the second to last stone in the ninth, but left a straight line for a takeout for DuPont with the hammer throw. DuPont was successful for one point and the lead again, 7-6, with one end to play.
Despite the deficit, the Korean team stayed calm throughout the tenth. EunJung Kim got the takeout she needed on the final throw to land two in the house for South Korea and give her team the win.
South Korea will finish round robin play on Thursday against Sweden. Game time is set for 1:05 a.m. ET. The Koreans are currently tied for fourth with Great Britain and Canada, and will need to win to keep the hopes of getting into the medal round alive.
Denmark (2-6), eliminated from semifinal contention, will finish its Olympics on Thursday at the same time against Canada.
