There was only one scoreless end when Canada decided to blank it in order to keep the hammer for the tenth, but they were unable to get even with China who are guaranteed a medal in their rematch with Sweden. Canada will see Denmark again for the Bronze game.
Kim Schneider again influenced the first end, allowing her rink to score, but China then outscored their opponents 5-2 at the midpoint as first Bingyu Wang put home a second stone in end number two and followed that up with a steal. It then becomes a battle between the thirds: Schneider and Yin Liu; the Chinese curler winning the war with some first-rate blocking in the fifth end.
Canada moved within one, Tammy Schneider and Amber Holland the best shots in the sixth and seventh ends, but what proved to be the winning point was out of the hand of Bingyu Wang; Holland unable to do anything else in the tenth to get back on level terms.
