It's a huge success to turn the mood around. Kim Sun-young (Gangneung City Hall) and Jung Young-seok (Gangwon Provincial Office) defeated Estonia and won two consecutive games, succeeding in a dramatic rebound after five consecutive losses.

The South Korean curling mix-double team beat Estonia's Marie Caldbe-Harryl Joe 9-3 in the seventh round robin match of the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics held at Cortina D'Ampezzo Olympic Stadium in Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy on the 8th (Korea time).

With the victory, South Korea recorded its second consecutive win in the preliminary round following its first win against the powerful U.S. the previous day, recording its second win and fifth round robin. South Korea, which lost to Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, England and the Czech Republic at the beginning of the tournament and was mired in five consecutive losses, showed its hindsight and caught two games in a row.

In this match, South Korea completed the big end by scoring three points from the first end. In the second end, he also stole two points and quickly ran to 5-0 with his momentum. He gave up a point at the third end, but he did not miss the opponent's mistake at the fourth end and added two points to win the game 7-1.

The crisis management ability also shone. Although he was on the verge of losing a large number of points in the fifth-end offensive, Kim Sun-young defended with one run by making the last shot that exquisitely put Stone into the house. South Korea, which added two more points in the sixth-end back post, finished the game early with Estonia's withdrawal.

South Korea became the last country to win a ticket to the finals after the qualification playoff. In the beginning of the finals, he lost 5-8 in Game 3 against Switzerland, and immediately after losing Game 5 against the Czech Republic, Kim Sun-young and Jung Young-seok shed tears, swallowing regret.

However, he changed the atmosphere by winning a dramatic 6-5 first victory with Kim Sun-young's last shot after extra-time blood fight against the powerhouse U.S. in Game 6. South Korea, which beat Estonia, tied for seventh place (Czech Republic, Estonia, Norway) with two wins and five losses.

This tournament is a way for the top four teams to advance to the semifinals after round robin. Sweden is currently in fourth place with four wins and three losses. South Korea should expect the number of cases after aiming to win the remaining games.
