The final stages have drawn considerable attention from Estonian sports fans, particularly since both teams pulled off impressive semifinal victories. The showdown will be broadcast live on ETV2 and the ERR sports portal, with commentators Juhan Kilumets and Kaidi Elmik providing insights for viewers.

The American duo of Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin delivered an unexpected performance in their semifinal, defeating the reigning Olympic champions and world champions Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaneri from Italy by a narrow margin of 9-8. Their victory was particularly memorable as it occurred in front of a home crowd, showcasing their skill and determination under pressure. Similarly, the Swedish siblings Isabella and Rasmus Wrana produced a stunning win, overcoming the British team of Jennifer Dodds and Bruce Mouat with a score of 9-3 after demonstrating remarkable prowess by scoring five points in a single end.

Despite the impressive performances, it is important to note that Thiesse and Dropkin are the reigning world champions of 2023, and the Wranas were crowned world champions just a year after their American counterparts. This background adds depth to the final match-up, highlighting that the competitors are not only seasoned athletes but also highly skilled, making the upcoming event a key highlight of the Olympics for curling enthusiasts.
