Latvian wheelchair curlers Polina Rozkova and Agris Lasmans faced China in the semifinals of the mixed pairs event during the Milan and Cortina Paralympic Games and unfortunately lost with a score of 3-8. The match was characterized by a strong start from the Chinese team, who quickly took a commanding lead with a score of 6-1 after the first four ends. Despite some rallying from the Latvian duo in the subsequent ends, they were unable to significantly close the gap, with China regaining a five-point advantage by the seventh end and the eighth end going unfinished.

Looking ahead, the Latvian pair is set to compete for the bronze medal against the United States, who lost in their semifinal match against South Korea. This upcoming match marks a crucial opportunity for Rozkova and Lasmans to redeem themselves after their earlier setback against the U.S. in the preliminary round, where they had lost 6-11. The journey to this point has been challenging, with the Latvians also facing tough competition from teams including Great Britain and South Korea along the way.

After seven matches in the tournament, the Latvian team compiled a record of four wins and three losses, ultimately finishing in fourth place. Their performance has showcased perseverance and skill, leaving them as serious contenders for the bronze medal as they prepare to take on the American team, who will also be eager for a medal after their own semifinal loss.
