The Swiss women’s curling team continued their impressive run at the World Championships in Calgary, delivering a commanding 10-1 victory over Australia on Wednesday. This result solidifies their position atop the leaderboard in a tournament where every win counts towards playoff contention.
Skip Xenia Schwaller didn’t need a peak performance as her team easily handled their opponents. The match quickly became lopsided, with the Australian team struggling to keep pace. Australia’s skip, Helen Williams, had a difficult time with her final stones.
Switzerland Steals the Momentum
Australia held the hammer early, but Switzerland consistently stole stones in the following ends – three in the second, two in the third, and one in the fourth. Williams managed to score one point in the fifth end, briefly breaking the Swiss dominance, and shared a laugh with her teammates afterward. The Australians conceded the match after the sixth end, with the final score reading 10-1.
The win keeps Switzerland at the top of the standings, whereas Australia remains near the bottom of the rankings.
What’s Next
Schwaller and her team will return to the ice on Thursday afternoon, taking on Norway at 4:00 PM local time (live stream available on SRF).
