Guess what, sports fans! Sichuan Team Two just slid their way into the mixed doubles final of the Chinese Curling League! 🥳🥌
They faced off against Inner Mongolia Team Four and won with an impressive score of 10-2. Let’s break down the exciting moments of the game!
Early Lead with Blue Stones
Starting strong, Sichuan Team Two used the blue stones and took an early lead. Guo Jiaxin made an amazing move by knocking out two of Inner Mongolia’s stones, leaving four of their own in the House (that’s the target area in curling!). How cool is that?
But Inner Mongolia’s Tian Linyuan wasn’t giving up! She skillfully took out two of Sichuan’s stones to keep the game tight. However, Sichuan’s Yu Feng struck back, helping his team lead 3-1 after the second end (an ‘end’ is like a round in curling).
A Game-Changing Moment
In the third end, a hiccup happened for Inner Mongolia. Tian accidentally missed the Button (the very center of the target) and even pushed one of Sichuan’s stones closer to it! 😱 This gave Sichuan a big boost, moving them ahead to 7-1.
Sichuan continued their winning streak, adding more points in the next two ends. Inner Mongolia managed to snag a second point in the sixth end, making the score 9-2.
The Final Stone
Yu Feng sealed the deal with a fabulous shot, knocking out a yellow stone with a clean finish! 🎯 This impressive play secured a 10-2 victory for Sichuan Team Two.
Now, they’re off to the finals! Let’s all cheer them on and wish them the best of luck! 🎉🏆
