LIVE BLOG ⟩ Kaldvee and Lill chase victory against the USA at the Olympics
Estonian mixed curling team Marie Kaldvee and Harri Lill are set to compete against the USA on Sunday as part of the ongoing Milano Cortina Olympics.
The Estonian mixed curling duo of Marie Kaldvee and Harri Lill are gearing up for a crucial match against the USA during the Milano Cortina Olympics. The game is set to take place on Sunday, with Postimees providing live coverage starting at 15:35. This is part of a busy day for Estonia, which will also face South Korea earlier in the day.
Leading into the matches, the Estonian team has had a challenging run, having won two and lost four of their previous games. Their victories include matches against Sweden and Canada, but they've fallen short against stronger teams like Switzerland, Great Britain, Italy, and Norway. In contrast, the USA started the tournament strong with four consecutive wins over top teams like Norway, Switzerland, Canada, and the Czech Republic, although they have recently suffered losses to Great Britain and South Korea.
Mixed curling involves teams of two players, one male and one female, competing in a series of eight ends. In each end, one player delivers two stones while the other delivers three. Only one team can score points in a given end, and teams aim to strategically place their stones to dominate the scoring area. The upcoming matches will be crucial for both Estonia and the USA as they strive to advance in the competition.
