Scotland suffers fourth defeat at World Women's Curling Championship

Scotland's women's curling team is struggling at the World Women's Curling Championship in South Korea, suffering a fourth defeat in the round-robin stage after losing 5-3 to Sweden. With only two wins so far, Scotland currently ranks 10th out of 13 teams and must secure a top-six finish to advance to the playoffs. Earlier in the competition, they had a surprising win against Canada but fell short in close matches against Norway and South Korea. Upcoming matches against Lithuania, the United States, Japan, Turkey, Denmark, and China will be crucial for their playoff hopes. The competition also affects Olympic standings, with the top eight nations qualifying for the 2026 Milan/Cortina Games, where Great Britain is currently positioned eighth.
