In the recent curling match at the Milan-Cortina venue for the 2026 Olympics, Italy faced off against Great Britain, ultimately losing the match 9-6. However, this defeat does not dampen the spirits of the Italian team, which has already secured its place in the semifinals due to favorable results from other matches. Notably, Switzerland lost to Norway, while South Korea achieved a surprising win against Canada, and the USA triumphed over Sweden, ensuring Italy’s position within the top four of the round robin stage.

The Italian duo of Stefania Constantini and Amos Masaneri recorded their third loss in the round robin, following previous defeats against Canada and Sweden. Despite this, they currently sit in third place in the overall standings with five wins, trailing only Great Britain and the USA. The upcoming match against the USA will be crucial for Italy, as a victory would secure them the second spot in the rankings, while a loss could see them drop to fourth place, depending on the outcome of Sweden's position.

This performance reflects the growing competitiveness of the Italian curling team as they prepare for the semifinals. While the loss to Great Britain was disappointing, the team remains optimistic and motivated to perform well against the USA. With the Tokyo 2020 Olympics' spirit of sportsmanship and resilience, the Italian athletes are striving to compete at the highest level and bring home a medal in Milan-Cortina 2026.
