AMERICAN TEAM CELEBRATING AS THEY SEE SCORE PUTS THEM FIRST STORY: Canada comfortably beat Switzerland 4-0 in Group A of the women's Ice Hockey at the Winter Olympics on Saturday (February 7). A goal in the second period by Natalie Spooner broke the deadlock before a flurry of goals in the third period made it into a comfortable win with Sarah Fillier, Julia Gosling and Daryl Watts putting themselves on the score sheet. In the evening session for the curling mixed doubles, champions Italy beat two-times Olympic medallists Magnus Nedregotten and Kristin Skaslien of Norway 6-5 in a rematch of the final in Beijing four years ago. In a close encounter, both teams appeared to struggle to get a read of the ice, with Norway's Nedregotten miscalculating a shot in the final end which enabled Italy's Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner to set up a steal and nab the win. Italy's win moves them up to joint-second in the standings, with Norway in joint-seventh. It was a disappointing day for the U.S., who also suffered a 6-5 defeat to South Korea's Jeong Yeong-seok and Kim Seon-yeong. Teams play nine times in the round-robin stage at the Cortina Olympic Curling Centre, with the semi-finals taking place on Monday and the medal matches scheduled for Tuesday. Elsewhere, Estonia beat Canada 8-6 and Switzerland beat the Czech Republic 10-3. The Ice Dance Free Dance in the figure skating saw the American duo of Madison Chock and Evan Bates – three times world champions – finish first with a score of 133.23, earning 10 team points. The Italian pair of Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri were second and Canada's pairing of Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha were third. (Production: Mussab Al-Khairalla)
