The Korean women's curling team '5G' continued its possibility of advancing to the semifinals by overpowering 'Kang-ho' Sweden.

The women's curling team, consisting of skip Kim Eun-ji, third Kim Min-ji, second Kim Su-ji, lead Seol Ye-eun and Phipps Seol Ye-ji, won the eighth round of the round robin against Sweden 8-3 at Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, on the 18th (local time).

With this, South Korea won 5 games and lost 3 games in the preliminary round, and took the 4th place alone. It was a valuable victory over Sweden (6-2), a strong favorite to win the tournament.

The game was decided at the beginning. South Korea, which took the lead by scoring three points from the first end, scored consecutive points at the third and fourth ends following a one-point steal at the second end, quickly widening the score to 8-0.

Sweden tried to chase by recovering one point each at the fifth, sixth and seventh ends, but eventually conceded defeat after the seventh end and asked for a handshake.

Now, whether South Korea will advance to the semifinals will be determined in the final qualifying match against Canada on the 19th. Canada (4 wins and 3 losses), currently ranked fifth, is chasing below the chin, so South Korea must beat Canada to secure a ticket to the semifinals on its own.
