In the future after the British males took silver, shedding to Sweden within the closing, the ladies picked up two factors within the first finish and managed the scoreboard from there. They basically clinched it within the seventh after Japanese skip Satsuki Fujisawa didn’t maintain her final stone within the scoring space.
That left only one pink Japanese rock and three yellow British ones in the home. Muirhead simply picked off the Japan’s lone stone and scored 4 to take an 8-2 lead, bringing the most important cheer but from the British followers within the crowd.
Japan might solely handle one level within the eighth. When Muirhead tallied two within the ninth, Fujisawa slid over to bump fists and concede. One other roar arose from the group, which included the lads’s silver medalists.
It was probably the most lopsided ladies’s closing in Olympic historical past.
It was the second straight medal for the Japanese crew of Fujisawa, Chinami Yoshida, Yumi Suzuki and Yurika Yoshida, who took bronze in Pyeongchang. The Swedish ladies received bronze on Saturday night time, beating Switzerland.
Mikaela Shiffrin and the American blended ski crew missed out on a medal by 0.42 seconds, shedding within the bronze matchup within the closing Alpine ski occasion of the Beijing Olympics.
