Korea corner freezing on their last
With nothing but a lonely Japanese stone on the four-foot, Korea have to try and freeze to force Japan to a cold draw.
EXTRA END!!!
Japan is unable to remove the shot stone after a long, long runback attempt. So, extra end it is!
10th end..
Japan call a time out.
Korea has one buried on the button, behind three stones. Japan with three shots to go!
Will it be an extra?!
Korea draw for two!
It all comes down to this. Japan is up 6-5 with hammer in the tenth end.
Let’s see how it goes!
It is a one-point game going into the last end of the Gold Medal game, with Korea 🇰🇷scoring two in the ninth end 👏#PCCC2022 #curling

Interesting ninth end
Japan have their centre guard up and Korea have one behind their corner guard.
Who will set it up the best?
Pressure on Korea
After a perfect hit and roll by Fujisawa on her last, Korea attempted to pick out what they could see of the stone but wrecked on the guard. Japan steal one, 6-3.
Korea will have to come out firing in this ninth end to generate some points!
Unfortunate roll out by Korea
On a hit and stay for one, Korea over curled and rolled too far out of the twelve foot, leaving a Japan stone stealing one!
Japan go up 5-3 playing eight.
Ahh missed chance by Japan
Fujisawa has a draw to the eight-foot and it slides to the back of the house, getting just a single for a 4-3 lead after six.
Korea have a team meeting with their coach, planning for the seventh.
Korea tie it up!
With a great end by Korea, they make a perfect draw to the four-foot for two and tie the game 3-3 after five.
Japan take 3-1 lead
In what was looking to be a big end for Japan, resulted in a single, after they had to throw away their final stone.
Japan go up 2-0
After opening with a blank, Japan made an open draw for two following a nice Korean double take out to limit a bigger end.
JPN 2-0 KOR
Women's final begins now!
