Estonian curling team Kaldvee and Lill lost to Norway 5-6 at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, with players expressing dissatisfaction over their performance on the ice.
At the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, the Estonian curling duo of Marie Kaldvee and Harri Lill faced Norway, where they suffered a narrow defeat of 5-6, marking their fourth loss alongside one victory in the tournament. Kaldvee noted that the team struggled to adapt to the ice conditions as quickly as their opponents, stating that they should have played better from the outset to secure a better outcome.
Lill reflected on the game, highlighting that both teams made frequent errors, indicating a level of frustration with their performance. He pointed out that both teams missed simple scoring opportunities and that there remained room for improvement in their gameplay. The adjustments made to the stones prior to the match were mentioned as having influenced their throws, with both teams finding the ice surface unusually fast, leading to inaccurate shots.
Looking ahead, the Estonian team is set to compete against the Canadian pair of Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant, who have recorded three wins and two losses so far in the competition. Kaldvee and Lill will need to refine their strategy and execution if they hope to turn their performance around against a formidable opponent like Canada.
